The contact grill can be used in three posi tions:
“Party grill” (fig. 7)
In this position the contact grill offers a large grilling surface for the preparation of all kinds of snacks,
such as shashlik, sate, vegetables, fruits etc .
- Set the temperature contr ol t o position 5 (fig. 9).
- Preheat the grill for about 15 minut es in closed position (fig. 9).
- Pull the hinges up to the highest position (fig. 10) and put the contact grill in the open position (fig.
1 1) . Be careful: the grilling plat es ar e hot!
- Sprea d t he food on top of the grilling surface.
- T ur n t he fo od from time to time by means of w ooden spatulas.
“Hotplate” (fig. 12)
Set the contact grill in t he “part y grill” posit ion, cover the grilling plate with al uminium fo il with the shi ny
side facing upwards and set the temperature control to a low position (2 or 3). You have now
converted the contact grill into a thermostatically controlled hotplate which will automatically keep
your dishes at the require d temperature.
“Contact grill” (fig. 13)
This position is especially suitable for intense and quick grilling (rump steaks, hamburgers etc.) and
for making toasted sandwi ches.
- Set the temperature contr ol t o position 4 or 5 (fig. 14).
- Preheat the grill for about 15 minut es in closed position (fig. 15).
- Open the grill halfway (fig. 16) .
- Put the food (meat, toasted sandwiches etc.) in the midd le of the lower grilling plate ( fig. 17).
- Lift the upper grilling plate slightly and then close t he gr i ll (f ig. 18) .
- The upper grilling p lat e now rests on the food, causing it to be grilled equal ly strong on both sides.
“Gratin grill” (fig. 19)
This is the ideal position for gril ling and cooking au gratin at the s ame time.
The gratin position is also suitable for the preparation of all kinds of “open” toasts, e.g. with egg,
tomato, peppers and / or onion rings covered with cheese. However, it is not suitable for preparing
bread-crumbed dishes.
- Set the temperature contr ol t o position 5 (fig. 20).
- Preheat the grill for about 15 minut es in closed position (fig. 21).
- Open the grill halfway (fig. 22) .
- Put the food in the middle of the l ower grilling plate (fig. 23).
- Pull the upper grilling plate to its highest position ( fig. 24).
- Put the upper grilling plate in horizontal pos ition (fig. 25).
Note: the upper grilling plate should not be in contact with the food.
Frozen food (fig. 2 6)
You can also use this position to defrost frozen food. Wrap the frozen food in aluminium foil and set
the temperature control to a low position (3 or 4). The defrosting time depends on the weight of the
food.
Which temperat ure, how long and which posit i on?
In the table you will find a number of dishes you can pr epare with the contact grill.
The table sows which temperature to select, how long the food should be grilled and the appropriate

position of the grill.
The time necessary to preheat t he appliance has not been included in the indicated gri lling time.
During the grilling proc ess the temperature pilot l ight will go on from time to time. This me ans t hat the
contact grill is adjusting the grilling temperature to the preset position. When this happens, you can
simply continue grilling.
You can of course adapt the grilling time and t em perature to your own taste.
The settings also depend on the kind of food that is being prepared (e.g. meat), its thickness and its
temperature.

Trips

(position 5). If necessary, you can then set the temperature control one position lower and grill the
food until it is done.
·Sausages tend to burst when t hey are being coo ked. To prevent this, punch a few holes in th em wit h
a fork.
·Fresh meat gives better gr il lin g r esults than frozen or defrost ed meat.
·Do not put salt on the meat unti l aft er you have grilled it. This will help to keep the meat j uicy.

·For the best result, make sure the p ieces of meat y ou are goin g to prep are a re not too t hick ( approx.
1.5cm).
