Read these instructions before use and keep them safe. If you pass the

GRILLING

MACHINE

on, pass on the instructions too.

Remove all packaging, but keep it until you are satisfied that the

GRILLING MACHINE

is working. You may find a plastic label on the

GRILLING MACHINE

listing its features

— peel this off.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. The

GRILLING MACHINE

must be used only by a responsible adult.

2. Use and store the

GRILLING MACHINE

out of reach of children.

3. Don’t put the

GRILLING MACHINE

in water (or any other liquid). Don’t use it in a bathroom or near any source of water, and don’t use it outdoors.

4. Don’t touch the

GRILLING MACHINE

when it’s on — some parts aren’t as hot as others, but they’re all hot. Use oven gloves, a wooden or plastic spatula, or plastic tongs.

5. Position the

GRILLING MACHINE

on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface,

close to a power socket and out of reach of children.

6. Bread, oil, and other foods may burn. Don’t use the

GRILLING MACHINE

near or below curtains or other combustible materials, and watch it while in use.

7. Route the mains lead so that it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be caught accidentally or tripped over.

8. Don’t wrap food in plastic film, polythene bags, or metal foil. This will damage the

GRILLING MACHINE

and may cause a fire hazard.

9. Don’t try to cook anything over about 25mm (1 inch) thick — the grill won’t close, and the inside of the food may not cook fully.

10.Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) until the juices run clear. Cook fish until the flesh is opaque throughout.

11.Don’t use the bun warmer for anything other than warming buns, rolls, and other bread products.

12.Don’t leave food to cool on the

GRILLING MACHINE

— remove it while it’s still hot.

13.Don’t use metal implements, or anything sharp. This will damage the nonstick surface. Use wooden or plastic spatulas and plastic tongs.

14.Keep the

GRILLING MACHINE

and the mains lead away from hotplates, hobs or

burners.

15.Unplug the

GRILLING MACHINE

when not in use, before moving and before

cleaning. Let it cool down fully before moving or cleaning.

16.Don’t use the

GRILLING MACHINE

for any purpose other than those described in

these instructions.

17.Don’t use the

GRILLING MACHINE

if it’s damaged, if it malfunctions or if the mains lead or plug is damaged. It must be returned to our customer service department in order to avoid hazard.

long time) wipe the non-stick cooking plates with a damp cloth.

USING YOUR

GRILLING MACHINE

1. Prepare any garnish (tomato, cucumber, lettuce, cheese, etc.) and keep it handy.

2. If you’re using burger buns or hot dog rolls, split them.

3. Cut the food to be grilled into slices no more than 25mm (1 inch) thick.

4. Position the

GRILLING MACHINE

on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface, close to a

power socket, and out of the reach of children. Don’t plug it in yet.

5. Centre the drip tray in front of the

GRILLING MACHINE

, then push it back until it

touches the front feet.

6. Wipe the cooking plates lightly with a piece of kitchen towel containing a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Don’t use low fat spread, as it may burn and damage the non-stick surfaces.

7. Close the lid.

8. Plug the

GRILLING MACHINE

into the power socket (switch the socket on, if

necessary).

9. The indicator light will come on to show that the

GRILLING MACHINE

is heating up.

It will go out when the

GRILLING MACHINE

reaches working temperature, then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the working temperature.

10.Put your oven glove, wooden or plastic spatulas and plastic tongs where you can reach them.

Light’s out

11.When the indicator light goes out, the

GRILLING MACHINE

is ready for use.

12.Put on the oven glove.

Warm the buns

13. Press the back and lift the front

of the bun warmer handle, to release the catch, then lift it up and back.

14. Place the buns or rolls on the bun

warmer.

15. Close the bun warmer and press

gently to lock it. If it won’t close, remove something and try again. Don’t try to force it, or you’ll break it.

Cooking

16. Use the grill handle to lift the lid

and open the

GRILLING MACHINE

17. Put the food on the bottom cooking plate. Use wooden or plastic utensils,

don’t use your fingers — it really is hot.

18. Close the lid. Don’t press it down — pressure will toughen meat or poultry

and crush fish.

GR10 IB 1/10/02 3:45 pm Page 4

19. For thicker slices of meat, the hinge

between the base and the lid is loose enough to allow you to lift the lid a little bit extra before lowering it on to the food.

20. If the food is too thick to allow the lid to

close properly, and the ridges round the cooking plates to overlap (or at least meet) then it isn’t suitable for cooking in the

GRILLING MACHINE

21. Cooking time depends on the type,

thickness, and volume of food — see “Cooking times” for guidance.

22. When the food’s ready, put the oven glove

back on.

Remove the buns

23. Press the back and lift the front of the bun warmer handle, to release the

catch, then lift it up and back.

24. Remove the buns or rolls.

25. Close the bun warmer and press the catch gently to lock it. If you don’t

lock it, it’ll fall open and hit the work surface when you open the

GRILLING

MACHINE

Remove the food

26. Use the grill handle to lift the lid and open the

GRILLING MACHINE

. You should

still be wearing the oven glove.

27. Use a wooden or plastic spatula or plastic tongs to remove the food.

Finished?

28. When you’ve finished, unplug the

GRILLING MACHINE

(switch the power socket off

first, if appropriate).

29. Let the drip tray cool a bit before emptying.

More?

30. If you want to use the

GRILLING MACHINE

immediately, put on the oven glove and empty the drip tray into a heatproof glass or metal bowl, then give it a wipe with a piece of kitchen paper and put it back under the front of the

GRILLING MACHINE

Cooking times & food safety

These times are given purely as a guide. They’re for fresh or fully defrosted foods. When cooking frozen foods, add 2–3 minutes for seafood, and 3–6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending on the thickness of the cut, and the density of the food. Check that it’s cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more. Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) until the juices run clear. Cook fish until the flesh is opaque throughout. When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines printed on the packaging or labels.
