a soft damp sponge. Dry thoroughly.

3. Ensure the drip tray is correctly inserted

into the grill.

space on both sides of the appliance.

The grill features 2 x PLATE RELEASE. These
allow you to independently remove the top and

interchange plate positions.

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
off 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 first time, it may emit a fine
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.
