ASSEMBLING YOUR
NEW APPLIANCE

PREPARING THE GRILL FOR USE

1. Remove and safely discard any packing

material and promotional labels from
the grill.

2. Wipe the cooking plates and drip tray with

a soft damp sponge. Dry thoroughly.

3. Ensure the drip tray is correctly inserted into

the grill.

4. Ensure the cooking plates are correctly inserted

and securely locked into position.

5. Place the grill on a at, dry surface.

Ensure there is a minimum distance of 10cm
of space on both sides of the appliance.

6. Remove probe from packaging and insert jack

into the socket on the front face of the Probe
Storage area located on the right hand side
of the grill. When not in use, wrap probe cord
around Probe Storage.

7. Unwind the power cord completely and insert

the power plug into a grounded wall outlet.

8. The grill alert will sound and the LCD screen

will display OFF.

9. The grill is now ready for the preheating cycle.

The grill features 2 x PLATE RELEASE.
These allow you to independently remove the top
and bottom cooking plates for easy cleaning,
or to interchange plate positions.

OPERATING YOUR
NEW APPLIANCE

PREHEATING THE GRILL

1. Ensure the top plate of the grill is in the closed

position, with the Height Control Clip in the
OPEN position. This will ensure faster,

more ecient preheating

2. Turn the PLATE TEMP dial to adjust the

temperature in 5°C increments. Rotate the dial
to SEAR (210°C–230 °C) for fast preheating,
PANINI (sandwich) (180°C– 205°C), LOW
(160°C –175°C) or select an alternative
temperature.

3. The grill will start to heat and the LCD screen

will illuminate orange. Selected temperature

that corresponds to PLATE TEMP will ash.

4. Once the grill has preheated to the selected

temperature, one alert will sound and the

selected PLATE TEMP will stop ashing.

NOTE

Always allow the grill to completely preheat
to the selected temperature before cooking.

The temperature corresponding to PLATE

TEMP on the LCD may ash during the

cooking process. This is normal, indicating
that the correct temperature is being
maintained.

USING THE PLATE RELEASE

• To use the PLATE RELEASE:

− Always ensure the grill is completely cool.

Use the handle to open the top plate
to a 90 degree position.

− Use the ‘Plate Release’ on the front,

right side of the top plate to remove the
top cooking plate, and the ‘Plate Release’
on the left side of the control panel to remove
the bottom cooking plate. Once released,

gently slide the plates o the grill.

• If the cooking plates are incorrectly inserted,
the LCD screen will display Er1. Use the 2 x
PLATE RELEASE to remove the plates then
re-insert so they securely lock into position.
Always ensure the grill is completely cool before
releasing and removing the cooking plates.

• When the grill is turned on and heating for the

rst time, it may emit a ne smoke haze. This is

due to the protective substances on the heating
elements. It is safe and not detrimental to the
performance of the grill.

ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT CONTROL

This feature reduces the weight of the top plate

on delicate foods like sh and accommodates

varying thicknesses of food like artisan breads.
Located on the right side of the top plate, the

clip xes the top plate to a range of positions

above the bottom plate. To set the adjustable
height control, use the handle to lift the top plate
and simultaneously move the adjustable height
control clip to the desired height. Then slowly
lower the top plate until it rests on the adjustable
height control clip.

ADJUSTABLE TILT CONTROL

The angle of the cooking plates can be adjusted
by turning the PLATE TILT dial. The PLATE TILT
dial is located on the lower back, right side of the
grill. The unique indent between the two cooking
plates channels juices from both plates into the
same drip tray while cooking.

OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

TEMPERATURE
CONVERSION BUTTON

• The grill features a temperature conversion
button on the left side of the LCD screen.
The temperature reading on the grill is preset
to Celsius. Pressing the temperature
conversion button converts the Celsius
temperature reading into Fahrenheit.
The corresponding °C or °F symbol will be
displayed on the LCD screen.

• If you have changed the default Celsius
temperature reading to Fahrenheit, the setting
will remain in the memory of the grill until the
Temperature Conversion Button is pressed
a second time or the grill is unplugged from
the wall outlet. When the grill is plugged back
into the wall outlet, the temperature reading
will automatically return to the preset
Celsius setting.

INTEGRATED PROBE WITH
SMART SETTINGS

The integrated probe with smart settings
is designed to help achieve consistent doneness

results when cooking dierent meats.

5 meat settings have pre-programmed
temperatures to suit your desired doneness.
The set temperatures for each meat
are displayed in the chart below.

REST INDICATOR

Resting meat for 3–5 minutes once it is taken

o the grill is important as it allows the muscle

fibres to relax and the juices to spread evenly
throughout the meat, preventing juices
and flavour being lost as it is cut open.

When cooking to a desired doneness,
it is important to remove the meat from the grill
before it reaches the desired internal temperature
as residual heat will continue to cook the meat
during the rest phase.

The Smart Grill Pro
which alerts you to remove your meat before the
SET TEMP is reached to prevent over cooking.

has a REST MEAT indicator,

NOTE

The probe and smart settings have been
optimised for cooking in contact mode
with the PLATE TEMP dial turned to SEAR

(230ºC).

USE AS A CONTACT GRILL WITH
SMART SETTINGS AND PROBE

1. For best results, set PLATE TEMP dial

to SEAR (230°C).

2. While the grill is preheating, adjust the angle

of the cooking plates to the desired position
by turning the PLATE TILT dial. The PLATE TILT
dial is located on the lower back, right side
of the grill.

3. Ensure probe is installed correctly.

4. Insert probe gently into the side of the meat,

ensuring that it is positioned in the thickest part
and directly in the centre of the meat.
