INSTALLING THE GRILL
- Before using the grill, make sure that it has not been damaged
in any way during transportation.
- Always use the appliance on a dry, level, heat resistant surface
at a height of at least 85 cm, out of reach of children.
- Before plugging the appliance into the mains , check that:
• the supply voltage corresponds to that indicated on the
rating plate fitted on the appliance;
• the power on the mains socket is minimum 10A;
• the mains socket is suitable for the type of plug fitted on
the appliance; if not it should be changed;
• the mains socket is earthed. The manufacturer does
not accept any liability for damage caused as a result of
non-compliance with this requirement.
- Before using the grill for the first time, switch it on and leave
it to heat up in the barbecue/party grill position (see pg.3,
pos.3) without any food, for at least 5 minutes; open the window in order to eliminate any unpleasant smell that tends to
be given off when an appliance is new.
FUNCTION POSITIONS
The appliance can be operated in three different positions:
Il Vostro apparecchio è predisposto per l’utilizzo in una delle 3 seguenti posizioni:
CONTACT GRILLING: ideal for all kinds of meat, vegetables, polenta, toasted sandwiches (pos. pg.3).
BROWNING: ideal for fish and pizza (pos. 2, pg.3). To set this
position, lift up the top of the appliance and turn it towards you.
BARBECUE PARTY GRILLING: This position can be used to
grill all types of food except pizzas (pos. 3, pg.3). Open the grill
out flat.
USING THE APPLIANCE
- Connect the appliance to the mains supply and turn the temperature control knob (E) to the desired setting; the pilot light
(G) will come on. Allow the appliance to heat up with the grill
plates closed.
- The pilot light switches off when the set temperature has been
reached.
- Place the food on the grill plate.
- Set the appliance in the desired position, 1, 2 or 3.
- Place a heatproof container under the drainage vent to catch
surplus fat.
- To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature control knob
counterclockwise until it stops.
- After grilling, unplug the appliance and allow to cool.
Do not use sharp tools on the grill plates as these may damage the non-stick coating.
COOKING TIPS
- Thawed and marinaded meat should be dried thoroughly before being placed on the grill.
- Meat should be seasoned before grilling but salt should be
added at time of serving.
- Food which is to be contact-grilled should be uniformly thick
to ensure even browning.
- Always oil the lower plate (I) before grilling fish.
- A number of recipes suitable for the grill have been provided.
Please note that the cooking times given are only approximate.
They may vary, depending on the characteristics of the
food being cooked (temperature prior to cooking,
water content) and individual preference.
CLEANING
- Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning.
- Clean the appliance after each use to prevent unpleasant
smells or fumes from being emitted when it is next used.
- Remove the 2 grill plates, pulling the release catches (F) and
wash either by hand in hot water or in a dishwasher.
- Leave the plates to soak in warm water to remove any residue
left during cooking.
- Do not use abrasive tools or cleaning agents as these may
scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
- Refit the clean plates on the appliance making sure that they
are perfectly dry.
