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.
- Oven grill position (Fig. 4)
This is the ideal position to grill and cook au gratin at the same time. The
oven 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.
- Barbecue grill position (Fig. 5)
In this position, the grill offers a large grilling surface for the preparation of
all kinds of snacks, such as shashlik, satay, vegetables, fruits etc.
1 Fully unwind the mains cord from the storage facility in the hinges of
the appliance (Fig. 6).
2 Make sure the grill is closed. Then put the plug in the wall
socket (Fig. 7).

The grilling time depends on the type of ingredients, their thickness and
your personal taste. See the food table at the beginning of this booklet
for recommended grilling times.
Note: During the grilling process, the green ready-to-cook light goes out
(HD4408/HD4469 only) or the temperature light goes on (HD4407/HD4467

Turn the food from time to time with a wooden or plastic spatula.
8 Close the grill (only for contact grill and oven grill positions).

ingredients. The upper grilling plate now rests on the food. In this way,
the food is grilled evenly on both sides (Fig. 12).
- Oven grill position: pull the upper grilling plate up to its highest position
(1) and then put it in horizontal position (2). The upper grilling plate
must not touch the food (Fig. 13).

Grilling times
At the beginning of this booklet, you nd a food table with ingredients you
can prepare with the grill. The table gives indications of which temperature
to select, how long the food has to be grilled and the appropriate position
of the grill. The time necessary to preheat the appliance is not included in
the indicated grilling time.
The actual grilling time and temperature depend on the type of food that is
prepared (e.g. meat), its thickness and its temperature and also on your own
taste. See also the indications on the grill.
Tips
- Lightly grease the food to be grilled (instead of the grilling plates) with a
little butter or oil.This prevents excess butter or oil from smoking.
- The grill is unsuitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.
- Sausages tend to burst when you grill them. To prevent this, punch a few
holes in them with a fork.
- For the best result, make sure the pieces of meat you use are not too
thick (approx. 1.5cm).
- Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat.
- When you prepare satay, chicken, pork or veal, rst sear the meat at
a high temperature (setting 5). Then set the temperature control one
position lower and grill the food until it is done.
- If you want to defrost frozen food, put the appliance in the oven grill
position, wrap the frozen food in aluminium foil. Set the temperature
control to setting 1 or 2. The defrosting time depends on the weight of
the food.
Cleaning
Never use abrasive cleaning agents and materials, as this damages the
non-stick coating of the plates.
Never immerse the appliance in water.
1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2 Remove excess oil from the plates with a piece of kitchen paper
before you remove the plates.
3 Remove the grilling plates (Fig. 15).
To remove the plates, press on the xing clips on the appliance and then lift
the plates out of the appliance.
4 Clean the grilling plates and the grease tray with a soft cloth
or sponge in hot water with some washing-up liquid or in the
dishwasher (Fig. 16).
Soak the grilling plates in hot water for ve minutes with some washing-up
liquid to remove residues. This loosens any caked food or grease.
5 Dry the grilling plates and reassemble them (Fig. 17).
- Put the appliance in the barbecue grill position.
- Place the rear edge of the grilling plates on the appliance (1). Lower the
grilling plates onto the appliance and press them down under the xing
clip (2).
6 Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
