BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.
Your grill may smoke a little the first time you use it. This is normal and will soon disappear.

TILTING/LEVELLING THE GRILL

You can tilt your grill so that fat and juices run into the drip tray when cooking things like
burgers, meat, etc. Alternatively, you can use your grill level for cooking things like panini,
sandwiches, etc.

To tilt your grill, extend the foot upwards below your grill (Fig. A). Fold the foot flat again to
level your grill.

USING YOUR GRILL

• Sit your grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from cupboards, curtains,
etc.

• Slide the drip tray between the two runners underneath the front of your grill. Slide the
tray all the way in. The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run off the plates during
cooking.

• Put the plug into the power socket. The power light will come on.

• The grill plates will now start heating up.

• When the thermostat light comes on your grill is at the correct cooking temperature.

• The light will cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.

• Open your grill and carefully lay the food on the bottom grill plate. Use a spatula or
tongs.

• Close the grill.

• When you have finished cooking unplug your grill.

• Check that the food is cooked. If you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.

• Always use an oven glove when opening or closing the grill.

• Use wooden or plastic utensils to prevent damage to the plates.

• The grill hinge is articulated to accommodate thick or oddly shaped foods.

• The grill plates should be roughly parallel to avoid uneven cooking.

• When neccessary, use an oven glove and empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl.
Wipe it with kitchen paper then replace it under the front of your grill.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

General Cleaning

• Wipe the outside surfaces of the appliance with a clean damp cloth.

• Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Grill Plates

• Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners, solvents, scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.

• Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs
of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.

There are two ways you can clean the grill plates:

While The Plates Are Still Hot

• Wear appropriate protection such as oven gloves or similar, and use extreme care while
wiping the hot plates (note that oven gloves are not shown in figure B for clarity).

• Unplug your grill.

• Using a piece of folded kitchen paper or damp cloth, wipe the plates in one continuous
motion from the back to the front. Always support the top plate when wiping either the
top or the bottom plate (Fig. B) to avoid the unit tipping over.

When The Plates Are Cold

• Unplug your grill and let it cool completely.

• Wipe the plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a paper towel with a dab of cooking
oil to remove stubborn stains.

STORING

• The unit may be stood vertically (on the hinged side) for storage.

Legislation in some localities mandates that e-waste (anything with a plug, battery or cord)
is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in general
household waste. For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated
appliances, please contact your local council or your local household waste disposal
service.
