INSTRUCTION FOR USE

When using the appliance for the rst time

Remove all packaging and labels from the plate. Before
throwing the packing material away, make sure you have
removed all parts of the new appliance. We recommend you
keep the box and packing to re-use in the future.

Please note: the grease drip cups are outside the
polystyrene insert.
Before use, clean the base, cover and dials with a damp cloth
to remove dust accumulated during transport.
Clean the cooking plates, grease drip cups and cleaning tool
thoroughly. The plates, grease drip cups and spatula are
dishwasher safe.

appliance is supplied with a black cleaning tool to clean the
plates when the appliance has completely cooled down after
use (after at least 30 minutes).
If you use the tool for a long time on plates which are still hot,
the plastic may melt.

Contact grill (use the grill plate)

The contact grill is ideal for cooking hamburgers, deboned
meat and thin meat slices, vegetables and sandwiches.
The “contact” function is perfect to prepare food rapidly and
healthily. When you use the contact grill, the food cooks
quickly as it is in contact with the plates on both side at once
(see gure).

The grease from the food is drained and collected by the
grooves on the plate and the hole at the corner.
When the appliance is used in the “contact” position, we
recommend using the grill plates.
Rest the cover evenly on the food until the required cooking
level is reached.
The appliance has a special handgrip and hinge allowing the
cover to be adjusted according to the thickness of the food.
Thinly sliced potatoes and very thick steaks can be prepared
with equally perfect results. If you want to cook a number of
dierent types of food simultaneously using the contact grill,
the various foods should have the same thickness to allow the
cover to be closed evenly.

Barbecue mode with grill plate (use the grill plate)

The appliance can be used as a grill/barbecue to prepare
hamburgers, steak, chicken (chicken on the bone is not
recommended as it does not cook evenly) and sh.
The grill/barbecue mode is the most versatile.
The plates are in the open position, doubling the cooking
surface (see gure).

Please note: The rst time you use the appliance, it
may give o a slight odour and a little smoke. This is normal
