Preparing the cooking surface
• Make sure the cooking surface is clean, turn the unit on and apply a generous amount of oil to the
plates.
• Using the thermostat control, set the Grill to 110°C.
• When the Grill has reached temperature, switch off and carefully wipe any excess oil from the plates.
Operation
• The Contact Grill should be turned on at least 5 minutes before use.
• To get efficient use out of this unit while in intermittent use, it is recommended that the Grill plates
remain closed and the thermostat turned down, when not cooking. This will assist in reducing power
consumption and also allow for quicker heat response when needed.
• Apuro recommends that the cooking surface is lightly greased before each use.
• A temperature setting of between 200°C and 220°C will be sufficient for general cooking. This may
vary for particular food types, individual needs, or experience.
• Simply place the food products on the bottom grilling surface and lower the top plate down, and cook
to your needs.
Note: If top plate becomes loose/stiff, use the Allen key supplied to adjust the
tension. Turn clockwise to tighten, anti-clockwise to loosen.
Note: With the new treatment for the flat plates, the surfaces now are smoother
and thus better for cooking and cleaning. Whereas, the initial surfaces may
appear to have ribbed markings with the first time use. After several hours of
cooking, such markings will start to fade/disappear.
Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
Before starting to clean the Grill, disconnect from the electricity supply by removing the plug from the
socket.
Clean the cooking surface regularly. We recommend it is cleaned after every use session.
When the cooking surfaces are still warm, wash with warm soapy water and then rinse thoroughly with
clean water. This will help to stop food sticking to the plates. Remove the fat drip tray and wash in warm
soapy water.
Other surfaces can be wiped over with a damp cloth to remove all food residues. Do not immerse the
Contact Grill in water or use water sprays to clean it.
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will begin to carbonise into a hard substance that is extremely
difficult to remove. To prevent this, follow the cleaning steps below:
• Always turn OFF the appliance and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
• Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning, but for best results clean the plates when they are still
slightly warm.
• Use warm, soapy water and a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the appliance.
• Take care when using scrapers to remove cooking residues as they can damage the cooking surface.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• The Apuro dealer or qualified technician should carry out repairs if required.
