Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to
connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220-240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for
at least 16 A). The power outlet socket must be installed separately from other power outlet
sockets to avoid interference with other appliances.
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
29
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible
norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, or remote control systems. It is
best to avoid using an extension cord, but if you wish to use one, only use an extension cord
rated for a maximum continuous current of at least 16 A with safety plug and safety coupler
plug and protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Additionally, the extension
cord must be of sufficient length.
When laying power cords, always ensure that no one will step on the power cord or get entangled or trip over the power cords. Also, ensure that no tension is applied to any part of the power
cords. Tie the extension cord loosely onto the leg of the table using a separate cord, to ensure
that no one will pull the power cord. To connect: always connect the appliance to the extension
cord first. To disconnect: Always unplug the extension cord from the power supply first.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of the power plug must be smooth and
clean. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Do not place the appliance on
a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do
not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may
not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power
cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the
power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet hands when the appliance is
connected to the power supply.
• DO NOT drip or spill any liquids on the housing or power cord. Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in water or other liquids. Do not pour or spill any liquids on the housing
or power cord. Do not place the appliance on wet surfaces. When liquids overflowed or are
spilled on the housing or power cord, immediately unplug the appliance. Thereafter, clean
the appliance and let it dry for at least 1 day. (See: »Care and Cleaning«) Do not clean the
appliance in an automatic dishwasher.
• Do not operate the appliance without the drip tray to avoid risk of overheating, fire and
electric shock!
• The heater starts to work as soon as you insert the plug into the outlet. The unit can be turned
off just by pulling the power plug.
High Temperatures – Risk of Burns
The Health Smart Grill Pro is designed for cooking food. For this purpose, the
grilling surfaces are heated electrically. The heating elements start heating as
soon as you connect the appliance to the power supply. Thus, improper handling could cause severe injuries and damage. Please keep this in mind to avoid
burns and damage.
• The grilling surfaces, the drip tray, frame of the grilling surfaces, lid and housing of the appliance can be very hot during operation and shortly thereafter. Additionally, during preparation
of your food, hot steam and splashes could escape. Do not touch the hot surfaces with any
parts or your body or any heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive objects during operation or while
the appliance is still hot. Only touch the appliance and its parts at the handles and operating
elements during operation and shortly thereafter. Beware of hot steam and condensate, when
placing food on the grilling surfaces. Protect your hands and arms with oven gloves. Do not
leave any foreign objects on the hot grilling area (e.g. grilling shovels, barbecue utensils).
30
• Do not move the appliance when still hot. Always leave the appliance and all its parts cool
down before moving the appliance, emptying the drip tray or cleaning the appliance. Do not
place the appliance on heat-sensitive surfaces, for operation or when hot.
• Do not operate the appliance close to inflammable, volatile materials (e.g. alcohol, spirit, or
benzine), or high-proof alcoholic beverages. Alcohol will quickly evaporate due to the heat,
thus building up an inflammable mixture that could be ignited by any source of ignition (e.g.
candles, cigarettes, and heating elements of the appliance), causing severe injuries to persons
and serious damage. DO NOT cook any high-proof alcoholic liquid or alcoholic
foodstuffs (e.g. mulled wine, grog) on the appliance. Do not pour any alcoholic liquid on the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and fire. The appliance is
not suited for flambéing.
Non-Stick Coating
The grilling surfaces of your Health Smart Grill Pro are provided with Quantanium non-stick coatings. Even without using additional oil, food will not stick to the coated surfaces. Due to the cooked
food, some discolouration may occur. However, this will not affect the cooking performance.
Please adhere to the following precautions:
• Before first use, wipe the non-stick coatings of the grilling surfaces with a little cooking
oil. Thereafter, there is no need to add any further oil for cooking.
• Do not use the appliance, if the non-stick coating is scratched, cracked or detached due to
overheating.
• Only use wooden or heat-resistant plastic cooking utensils with the appliance. Do not use
hard or sharp objects for scratching, stirring, or cutting on the coatings. We will not be liable
for damage to the non-stick coating, if metal utensils or similar objects have been used. Do not
use any spray-on non-stick coatings.
• The non-stick coatings minimise the effort of cleaning. Do not use abrasive scourers or abrasive cleaners for cleaning. Even stubborn residues can be removed via a soft sponge or soft
nylon brush and warm dishwater.

PROPERTIES OF YOUR NEW GRILL
WARNING: Your new Health Smart Grill Pro is intended for cooking edible food and is hea-
ted electrically. Do not place any inflammable objects on the grilling areas. Do not leave any
food bake on the grilling areas. Do not place the appliance on heat-sensitive surfaces during
operation, to avoid risk of overheating and fire.
Height Control Feature
The lid of the Health Smart Grill Pro can be adjusted to the thickness of your food, using the
height control feature. This way, even delicate and tender ingredients (e.g. fish, Burger, or tomatoes) will not be crushed, when lowering the lid for cooking. With the height control feature
adjusted, the lid will be locked in the selected distance to the lower grilling surface: from 1 cm
(LOW) to approx. 5.5 cm (HIGH).
The Health Smart Grill Pro can be used in open or closed operation. When grilling with the
lid closed, your food will be cooked at both sides simultaneously, thus being cooked in a time
and energy saving way.
IMPORTANT: You cannot open the lid of the Health Smart Grill Pro with the height control
clip in LOCK position. The LOCK position is only intended for moving and storing the appliance. Before use, always slide the height control clip to the OPEN position first. Do not attempt
to open the lid violently.
The height control clip is located at the right side of the housing on the metal hinge of the lid.
See: Knowing Your Health Smart Grill Pro
1. First slide the height control clip to the OPEN position.
WARNING – RISK OF BURNS
Only touch the appliance at the operating elements (handle, temperature dial, height control
clip). The exterior of the appliance can get hot during operation, causing risk of burns.
2. Grasp the lid at the handle and hold it in the desired position.
3. Slide the height control clip backwards (to the hinge of the lid) until it stops.
Tip: If you wish to lower the lid: first hold the lid at the handle. Then pull the height control clip
a little more to the front of the Grill.
4. Slowly release the handle; the lid will stay in the selected position.
Angle Adjust Non-Slip Feet
The Health Smart Grill Pro provides extendable feet, which are designed to level the base
grilling surface, when cooking foods such as sausages. This ensures the sausages to not roll
off the grilling surface. However, the maximum amount of surplus fat will still be drained during
cooking.
WARNING – RISK OF BURNS
Always adjust the angle adjust non-slip feet of the appliance before connecting the appliance
to the power supply. Do not tilt the appliance during operation. Otherwise, hot fat and juices
could run out, causing severe injuries and damage.
1. With the lid completely closed, slide the height control clip to the LOCK position to lock the
lid. (See: »Storage«)
32
2. Lift the Grill by the handle. The Angle Adjust non-slip feet are folded into sockets at the
bottom of the base. Just, as required, fold out or fold in both feet until they snap into position.
Thereafter, ensure that both feet are in the same position. Otherwise, the appliance will not
stand stable.
3. Place the appliance on the desired working surface and unlock the lid (height control clip
to the OPEN position). Thereafter, you can use the Grill.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
For best grilling results, use cuts which are thick enough to touch the grilling surfaces at the lid
and bottom, when closing the lid (approx. 1 to 5.5 cm).
Recommended Cuts:
Beef Sirloin (New York), Rump, Rib Eye (Scotch Filet), Filet
Lamb Trim Lamb Leg Steaks, Filet, Eye of Loin, Cutlets, Diced Lamb
Pork Butterfly Loin Steaks, Spare Ribs, Leg Steaks, Filet, Diced Pork
• Tougher cuts such as beef blade, topside steak, lamb forequarter or neck chops can be used.
To tenderize these cuts, marinate them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade with wine
or vinegar to help break down the connective tissue.
• Add salt after cooking. Otherwise, the salt would dehydrate the meat, making it tough and dry.
• 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 grilling surface. Some marinades
contain high sugar levels, which can scorch on the grilling surface when cooked.
• Do not overcook meat. Even pork is 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 and dry steak.
• When cooking fish, use a flat heat-resistant plastic spatula to support the food.
• Parboiling sausages can alleviate the need to pierce sausages before cooking.
• It is recommended not to cook cuts with thick bones such as T-bone steaks. You should remove
the bone before cooking.
Grilling Guide
Cooking temperatures and cooking times depend on your individual liking, as well as on thickness, type and consistency of your food. The following table holds some recommendations. If
required, check your food for the desired consistency during cooking.
• Select a low temperature (SANDWICH) for heating up food and cooking sandwiches.
• Select medium temperatures for seafood and scallops.
• Select high temperatures (SEAR) for meat and poultry.
33

Tipps for Toasting Sandwiches
• Bread: Most types of bread can be used (white, wholemeal, wholegrain, raisin loaf, etc.).
The sandwich press is ideal for toasting foccacia, Turkish bread baguettes as well as bread
rolls. Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads, which contain high sugar content, will tend
to brown quicker.
• Fillings: Prefer canned or pre-cooked fruit, as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when
heated. Be careful when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese and tomato
or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.
• Toasting Bread: The unique flat design makes the sandwich press ideal for toasting plain
breads without any fillings or spreads. Try toasting Turkish bread with jams for a great alternative to standard breads at breakfast.
• Fat Free Snacks: Due to the non-stick flat plate design, it is not necessary to use any butter
or margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks.

How to Judge a Steaks Doneness
There is an art to determining when your steak, lamb chop, or cutlet is cooked to the correct
degree of doneness – rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, or well done. However, it is
easily mastered, using this handy hints and tips.
Rare: Cook for a few minutes per side, depending on thickness. Turn once only. Cook until
steak feels very soft with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature
of a rare steak as 55-60°C.
Medium rare: Cook one side until moisture is just visible on top surface. Turn once only.
Cook on the other side until surface moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium rare,
when it feels soft with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature
of a medium rare steak as 60-65°C.
Medium: Cook one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn once only. Cook second side until moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium when it feels springy with
back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium steak as
65-70°C.
Medium Well: Cook one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook second
side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels
firm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium
well steak as 70-75°C.
Well Done: Cook one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook second
side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels
very firm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a well
done steak as 75-85°C.
