HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (3-PRONG PLUG)

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.

Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords may be used if
care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the longer cord should be at least that

of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord
is too low, it could overheat and burn.

• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape

over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over. The extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Before using the grill for the first time, it’s a good idea to assemble
it fully indoors, to check that you’ve got all the parts and that
they’re all in the right places.

• Clean the grill and all the accessories (Cf. "Cleaning and care"). It
is recommended to heat up the grill for about 10 minutes without
any foodstuff in order to eliminate the grease that may have
adhered during manufacture and the "new" smell.

• Ventilate the room during this period or use outside.

ASSEMBLY

• Align the power inlet on the grill plate with the recess in the side
of the grill housing, and lower the grill plate into the top of the grill
housing.

• The feet underneath the grill plate will rest on 4 specially
strengthened points inside the grill housing.

• The tab in the middle of the recess will go through the slot
underneath the power inlet, and push up the cover inside the
power inlet to expose the earth socket inside the power inlet.

• The earth contact protruding from the temperature control fits
through the hole in the tab, and into this socket.

• If the grill plate is not properly fitted in the grill housing, you will not
be able to fit the temperature control to the grill, and the grill will
not function. This is a safety feature. Do not try to overcome it.

• Do not try to use the grill plate on its own. It must only be used
with the grill housing.

• Push the drip tray into the gap in the side of the grill housing.

• Check that it’s under the holes in the grill plate.

• If you’re not using the stand, sit the grill housing on a stable, level,

heat-resistant surface.

NOTE: If you’re not using the stand, miss out the next assembly points

• Use the screws supplied to attach the 3 stabilizers to the bottom
of the stand.

• The stabilizers fit into the gaps between the legs of the stand.

• Put the stand on a stable, level surface.

6

USK GR 32231 - 100403



• To fit the mp3 holster, push the narrow end of the tube through
the hole in the removable holster.

• Fit the narrow end of the tube into the hole in the top of the
stand, so that it engages with the screw inside the stand, and
then turn the tube clockwise to tighten it.

• Don’t over-tighten it – finger tight is sufficient.

• Lower the grill housing (with the grill) on to the top of the tube, so

that the tube goes through the large hole in the bottom of the
grill housing.

• Turn the grill housing slightly, till it engages with the top of the
tube.

• Rotate the tube clip upwards, to bring it up and over the rim on
the bottom of the grill housing, so that the grill is now locked
securely in place.

• Turn the lid to align the “L” and “R” above the spindles with the
“L” and “R” on the sides of the grill housing.

• Lower the lid and press the spindles gently into the slots in the grill
plate.

• Turn the whole assembly (grill, housing and stand) to face the
wind, so that the open lid shelters the food from the wind.

POSITIONING

• Try to put it somewhere people won’t be passing through
regularly, so they won’t be likely to touch it accidentally.

• Keep it well away from swimming/paddling pools, sprinklers, and
hoses.

• Leave a space of at least 50mm all round the appliance.

• Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped

over or caught.

• If you use an extension cable, take the same precautions with it.

• Keep dry

• The grill is IPX/NEMA rated, so it’s officially “splashproof”. This

means it’ll withstand a bit of gentle rain, but not a lot.

• Keep the extension cable, socket and the grill plug dry.

• Uncoil or unwind the extension cable fully before use, to prevent

it overheating.

• Check the cable and the extension cable for signs of damage
before each use. If you find any damage, don’t use the
appliance.

PREPARATION

• Wipe the grill plate lightly with a piece of kitchen towel
containing a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Do not use
low fat spread, as it may burn and damage the non-stick surface.

• Prepare the food, measure out your ingredients, and have
everything within easy reach.

• Check out your plastic or wooden tools – tongs, ladles, scoops,
spatulas. Don’t use anything metal or sharp, or you’ll damage the
non-stick surface.

• Find your oven gloves.

PREHEAT

• Pull the lid handle forward to close the lid.

• Turn the temperature control anticlockwise to 0.

• Plug the temperature control into the grill, and then into the

power socket or extension lead.

• From now on, any hand coming near the grill should be wearing
an oven glove.

• Turn the temperature control clockwise to bring the temperature
setting you want round to the indicator light.

• Preheat for at least 11 minutes before cooking.

• When the grill reaches the required temperature, the light will go

out, and will then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to
regulate the temperature.

• To turn the grill off, turn the control anti-clockwise to “off” position.

OPERATION

• When the light goes off, use the oven glove to open the grill.

• Lay the food on the grill plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.

• Don’t use anything metal or sharp, you’ll damage the non-stick

surfaces.

• Don’t wrap food in plastic film or polythene bags. Use cooking foil
or roasting bags which will stand the heat without burning or
melting.

• You can grill with the lid open or closed.

8

USK GR 32231 - 100403



• With the lid open, you can see what’s happening, so you have
full control over the grilling process.

• With the lid closed, you have less control, but you waste less heat.
Steam building up inside the lid will help cook the food faster.

NOTE: Take care when you open the lid – moisture may drip from the
inside of the lid on to the grill plate, and this may cause spitting.

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

• Check it’s cooked. If you’re in doubt, cook it a bit more. Use a
food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the food.

• Don’t leave food to cool on the grill – remove it while it’s still hot.
The non-stick surfaces will only remain non-stick if you treat them
gently.

• Use the oven glove to open the grill.

• Use your plastic or wooden spatula/tongs to remove the food.

• When you’ve finished, turn the temperature control to 0, unplug

the temperature control from the power socket or extension lead,
and then remove it from the power inlet on the grill.

PRACTICAL HINTS

• The grilling times vary according to the nature of the food and to
your personal taste.

•

When grilling is finished, turn the temperature controller to OFF
and take the plug out of the power socket

temperature control probe.

• Do not remove the cooking plate from the frame during use. Use
the frame to carry or move the unit after cooling for at least 30
minutes.

• Frozen food should always be thawed before it is grilled.

• To grill meat, put the thermostat in its maximum position and

preheat the grill. For other ingredients, choose the temperature
accordingly.

• If you grill vegetables, fish or lean meat, spray the grilling surface
with a cooking spray. If you are grilling meat with any amount of
fat, or if the food has been marinated, there is no need to treat
the grill prior to cooking.

and then remove the

9



complete.

• The lid can be used closed during or after cooking to speed up
the cooking process or keep the food warm.

• The grease collector can be used without water in it, or with
water. With water, the cleaning is much easier.

IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR COOKING MEAT AND
POULTRY – TIPS FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS

• All meat and poultry should be thoroughly defrosted before
cooking. Have foods at room temperature before placing them
on the grill.

• We recommend the use of a meat thermometer to ensure the
food is cooked thoroughly.

• Recommended internal temperatures:

1

Internal temperature at the end of the cooking, according to USDFA Food safety and

Inspection services Guidelines

• Cooking times will vary according to shape, thickness and
composition of food. It is recommended that food be checked
after the minimum time stated to avoid over cooking.

• For adding flavor, do marinate or apply rubs, seasonings and
spices to foods, but this prior to putting on the grill.

Caution: Always make sure that meat and poultry are

thoroughly cooked before eating. The juices from

poultry should run clear when cooking process is

USK GR 32231 - 100403



seafood, and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending on
the thickness and density of the food.

• Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it
a bit more. Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince,
burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Cook fish till the flesh is
opaque throughout.

• When cooking prepacked foods, follow any guidelines on the
package or label.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Before cleaning, put the thermostat in OFF position and make
sure that the plug has been removed from the mains supply
socket.

• Allow the grill to cool down thoroughly and unplug the
thermostat from the appliance before you carefully dispose of
any grease residue.

• Never immerse the probe or plug in water or any other liquid.
However, should there be water on the electric connection, wait
until the appliance is completely dry before using it anew.

• The lid, the drip tray and the cooking plate are dishwasher safe
and can be immersed in water. Please towel-dry all parts quickly
after dishwashing or handwashing.

• Wipe the outer surfaces of the grill and base with a damp cloth
and dry afterwards.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners as these might damage the
