When liquids are spilled on the exterior of the appliance, immediately switch OFF and unplug the appliance and dry it. Never place the appliance or power cord in an automatic dishwasher.

Hot Surfaces – Risk of Burns

The Grill Barbecue is designed for cooking a variety of foods and, therefore, the whole appliance will get hot during operation. Beware of steam and hot condensate, as well as splashing fat and meat juices during operation and even some minutes after switching off, especially when removing the drip pan and/or opening the top plate.

• Do not touch hot surfaces (cooking plates, exterior of the appliance, drip pan) with hands and arms or any heat-sensitive objects while the appliance is in use or even some minutes after switching off. Always use handles and knobs for moving and operating the appliance and lifting the top plate.

• The appliance is heated by electric heating elements. To avoid damage and risk of fire: Do not place any heat-sensitive or inflammable objects (i.e. charcoal, paper, plastics, clothes) or inflammable liquids in or near the appliance during operation! Do not place hot drinks with high alcoholic content (i.e. mulled wine, grog) near the appliance if the appliance is still hot. Alcohol is highly volatile and the vapour is easy inflammable and could catch fire by any source of ignition (i.e. cigarette, candle, heating elements of the appliance) and therefore causing severe injuries to persons and damage. Do not pour or drop any alcoholic liquor (e.g. flambé) or alcoholic foodstuffs on the appliance.

• Before switching ON, always ensure that there are no objects on the cooking plates to avoid damage of the appliance and risk of fire. Do not leave any cooking utensils on the hot cooking plates.

• To avoid spilling of hot juices and fat causing injuries to persons and damage: Close supervision is important, when moving the appliance or any parts of it (i.e. the drip pan) immediately after switching off. Do not move or tilt the appliance during operation or when it is still hot. Take care, that you do not upset the appliance, when opening the top plate during operation. Always switch OFF and unplug the appliance and let it cool down to room temperature before moving or cleaning the appliance or removing the drip pan. Always adjust the tilt dial (ANGLE or FLAT) before placing any food on the cooking plates. Do not turn the tilt dial in the ANGLE position (inclined) with food on the cooking plate! Do not attempt to operate the appliance when the drip pan is not correctly inserted and positioned firmly in place.

• Beware of steam and hot condensate, when operating the appliance and especially when opening the grill. Prefer to

operate the appliance with the top plate closed. Otherwise power consumption increases significantly. Ensure all persons stay in sufficient distance to the appliance during operation.

• Especially when opening the grill during operation or immediately after switching off, always keep your hands and arm as well as any other objects in sufficient distance to the appliance during operation to avoid scalds and damage.

Maintenance of the Quantanium Non-Stick Surfaces

Your Grill Barbecue features the special scratch resistant Quantanium non-stick coating. Regardless of this fact, we recommend that care is taken with the non-stick coating. Do not use hard or sharp objects for scratching or cutting inside the Grill Barbecue. Always remove your foods from the cooking plate, before cutting. We will not be liable for damage to the non-stick coating where metal utensils or similar objects have been misused.

Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the need for oil, food can easily be removed and does not stick and cleaning is easier. Before first use, wipe the non-stick surface with a little amount of oil.

Any discolouration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of Grill Barbecue and will not affect the cooking performance. When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash in hot soapy water. Remove stubborn residue with a non abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush. Please adhere to the following precautions:

• Do not use the grill, with the non-stick coating being scratched, cracked or detached due to overheating.

• Avoid to use metal utensils or other hard and sharp objects with the appliance to avoid scratching the non-stick surfaces. Only use wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils to stir and serve the food. Never use hard and sharp utensils to cut or scratch on the cooking plates.

• Never use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, cleaning pads or any sharp objects (i.e. metal scouring pads) for cleaning. Carefully clean the appliance with a damped sponge or tissue and warm washing-up liquid. If required, use a nylon washing brush. Do not leave any food dry on the appliance. Always clean your grill after each use to prevent a build up of bakedon foods (see Care and Cleaning).

• Do not use spray-on non-stick coatings as this will affect or damage the non-stick surface on the cooking plates.

Base Plate Tilt Dial

Using the tilt dial (left hand dial), you can select the slope of the base plate according to your requirements: optimum fat drainage on an inclined surface or a level cooking plate, so that the foods do not run or slide off the grill. Simply set the required position (ANGLE or FLAT) on the tilt dial.

WARNING: Always adjust the tilt dial (ANGLE or FLAT) before placing any food on the cooking plates. Do not turn the tilt dial in the ANGLE position with food on the cooking plate, to avoid spilling of hot fat and meat juices causing scalds and damage.

• ANGLE: the base plate is in the inclined position. This position is suitable for achieving the maximum fat drainage when using the appliance as a closed grill.

• FLAT: the base plate is in the level position. This position is ideal for cooking sausages, pancakes, eggs, and other foods when a flat plate is required so that the foods do not run or slide off the grill.

IMPORTANT: Always select the FLAT position, when using the appliance as an open grill.

Variable Temperature Control Dial

The Grill Barbecue features a Variable Temperature Control dial (right hand dial), which allows a variety of foods to be cooked. Just select a temperature suited to the foods which are being cooked.

• With the dial set on SEAR, the temperature is correctly suited to grilling meats or other foods.

• With the dial set on SANDWICH, the temperature is correctly suited to toasting sandwiches.

Timer Dial

The Grill Barbecue features a 15 minute timer, which allows you to monitor the time elapsed during preheating or cooking. The timer will ring once when the set time has elapsed.

IMPORTANT: The grill will not switch off, it will remain heating.

1. To set the timer, simply turn the dial clockwise completely (‘15’ position) and then anticlokkwise to select the desired minutes.

Adjustable Grilling Height Control

Your Grill Barbecue features an adjustable grilling height control which allows you to fix the top plate to a range of positions above the base plate (up to 9 cm in HIGH position).

Therefore, your Grill Barbecue can be used as an open toaster, ideal for toasting open sandwich style ‘melts’. It can also be used to grill delicate ingredients such as fish, vegetables and hamburger buns without squashing. The grilling height control can be adjusted by sliding the slider forwards or backwards along the right metal arm of the top plate.

IMPORTANT: The top plate can be locked to the base plate, using the slider of the grilling height control (LOCK position). The LOCK position is intended only for moving and storage of the appliance. Before use, always release the lock by sliding the grilling height control to the OPEN position. Do not attempt to open the grill with violence.

Note: Allow the grill to preheat until the red heating light goes out with the top plate closed and the grilling height control in the OPEN position to avoid excessive energy consumption. It is best to adjust the grilling height control after placing the food on the cooking plates.

1. Before use, always slide the grilling height control on the right metal arm of the top plate to the OPEN position.

WARNING: Risk of Burns! – Solely use handles and knobs for moving and operating the appliance and lifting the top plate during operation. Even the top plate and exterior of the appliance will get very hot during operation.

2. Use the handle to lift the top plate to the desired position above the base plate.

3. Slide the grilling height control backwards (to the hinge) as far as it will go without violence.

Note: To lower the top plate, hold on to the handle and slide the grilling height control forwards (to the front) as far as required.

4. Carefully release the handle. The top plate, will come to a stand in the selected position. The top plate will radiate the desired heat to melt ingredients such as cheese or lightly grill foods.

Using Your Design Grill First use

Hints For Best Grilling Results

Recommended cuts:

Beef sirloin (New York), rump, rib eye (scotch fillet), fillet.

Lamb trim lamb leg steaks, fillet, eye of loin, cutlets and diced lamb.

Pork butterfly loin steaks, spare ribs, leg steaks, fillets, diced pork.

Chicken fillet, leg steaks

• For best grilling results use meat cuts which are thick enough to touch the top and base plate when the grill is closed.

• Tougher cuts such as beef blade, topside steak, lamb forequarter or neck chops can be used. To tenderise these cuts marinate them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade with wine or vinegar to help break down the connective tissue.

• It is not recommended to cook items with thick bones such as T-bone steaks. If necessary, remove the bones before cooking.

• Do not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw out the juices toughening the meat.

• If using a marinade recipe or pre-marinated meats from your meat retailer, drain excess marinade off and dab with kitchen paper before placing on the grill. Some marinades contain high sugar levels which can scorch on the grill plate when cooked.

• Do not over cook meat, some meats are better served pink and juicy.

• Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat while cooking. This will let the juices escape, resulting in a tougher, dry steak. Use tongs instead.

• When removing fish pieces, use a flat heat-resistant plastic spatula to support the food.

• Parboiling sausages can alleviate the need to pierce sausages before cooking.
