Using the appliance

Reversible grilling plates

This grill is supplied with reversible grilling plates with a normal ribbed side and a flat side.You can use both sides of the grilling plates in the three different positions described below.The flat side of the grilling plates is particularly suitable for stir-frying, baking eggs and pancakes and cooking marinated ingredients.

Note:Do not cook ingredients with a lot of fat on the flat side of the grilling plates.The flat side does not have a drainage groove,so the extra fat cannot drain away.

Note:When you use the flat side of the grilling plates,always put the appliance in horizontal position (Fig. 2).

Only turn the plates when they are cold and clean.   (Fig. 3)

Sloped and horizontal use

-- The grilling surface can be used both sloped and horizontally.

-- The standard grilling position for the ribbed side of the grilling plates is the sloped position. In this position, the fat or juice that comes out of the food runs off the plates into the grease tray or trays.

-- The appliance is fitted with fold-out feet.When you fold out these feet, you can put the grilling plates in horizontal position. Use this position to prepare low-fat ingredients such as fruit and vegetables that slide down the ribbed plates easily when the plates are in sloped position (Fig. 4).

-- The horizontal position is the standard grilling position for the flat side of the grilling plates, as this side does not have a drainage groove.

Three grilling positions

-- Contact grill position (Fig. 5)

This position is especially suitable for quick high-temperature grilling on both sides (rump steaks, hamburgers etc.) and for making toasted sandwiches or paninis.

Note:Both grilling plates are in contact with the food.

-- Gratin grill position (Fig. 6)

This is the ideal position to grill and cook au gratin at the same time.The gratin grill position is also suitable for the preparation of all kinds of ‘open’ toasts, e.g. with egg, tomato, peppers and/or onion rings, covered with cheese.

Note:The upper grilling plate must not touch the food.

-- Party grill position (Fig. 7)

In this position, the health grill offers a large grilling surface for the preparation of all kinds of snacks, such as shashlik, satay, vegetables, fruits etc.

With the health grill in party grill position and the flat side of the grilling plates pointing upwards, you can use the grilling surface to stir-fry ingredients and bake eggs or pancakes.

1 Fully unwind the cord from the storage facility in the hinges of the appliance (Fig. 8). 2 If necessary, turn the plates so that the side you wish to use is pointing upwards.

3 Make sure the grill is closed (Fig. 9).

4 Put the plug in the wall socket.

5Turn the temperature control to the temperature setting that is appropriate for the ingredients to be grilled.See the table at the end of this booklet.

,, The red power-on light goes on to indicate that the grill is heating up. Never let the appliance operate unattended.

-- Party grill position: open the grill halfway and pull the upper grilling plate up to its highest position (1).Then put the grill in open position (2) (Fig. 11).

7If the grill is in sloped position, place the grease tray or trays under the drainage groove or grooves to collect fat or juice.

Note:When you use the flat side of the grilling plates,do not put the appliance in sloped position.

-- Contact grill and gratin grill positions: place one grease tray underneath the drainage groove of the bottom grilling plate (Fig. 12).

-- When you grill ingredients that contain a lot of fat or juice on the ribbed side of the grilling plates and with the grill in horizontal position, you may also need to place the grease tray/trays in order to prevent fat or juice from dripping on the worktop.

Note:Do not cook ingredients with a lot of fat on the flat side of the grilling plates.The flat side does not have a drainage groove,so the extra fat cannot drain away.

-- Party grill position with the ribbed sides of the grilling plates pointing upwards: use both grease trays. Place one tray underneath the drainage groove of each grilling plate (Fig. 13).

8 Use the spatula/tongs provided to place the ingredients on the grilling plate or plates (Fig. 14).
