Maintenance
Disconnect the plug from the socket and let the appliance cool down well before cleaning it.
In order to clean the appliance, use a soft or slight damp cloth.
To clean, open the appliance and remove food residues from the plates.
Remove the any traces of food from the plates.
Remove the plates from the device as indicated in the section REMOVING THE PLATES and empty the drip
tray.
Clean the plates and drip tray with washing-up liquid. Do not use scourers or other abrasive pads which may
damage the non-stick coating.
Do not wash in the dishwasher.
After cleaning and only when completely dry, re-assemble the plates (see ASSEMBLING THE PLATES) and
drip tray.
Do not use very wet substances, liquids or cloths to prevent water from entering into the appliance and irreparably
damaging it.
NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE INTO THE WATER.
USE OF THE CONTACT GRILL
Check that the drip tray is correctly positioned and flush against the device, otherwise food may leak out of the
device and dirty the counter top.
Lightly coat the cooking plates with a little butter or cooking oil.
Close the grill and insert the power plug into the power outlet.
Adjust the thermostat (2) to the required setting depending on the type of food and preferred cooking level (we
recommend using the medium setting for sandwiches and MAX setting for meat).
The red power light (4) turns on and the green light (5) is off.
Wait until the green light turns on.
The device has reached the correct operating temperature.
Open the grill using the handle (1) and insert the food on the lower grill (it is possible to cook sandwiches,
burgers, meat without bones and vegetables).
Sandwiches must be placed at the rear of the grill.
If you decide to cook different foods, they must be roughly the same thickness, so that the upper grill presses
evenly on them.
Close the upper grill.
The cooking time varies depending on the food, temperature setting and personal taste.
The standard cooking time for sandwiches ranges from 3 to 6 minutes.
You can check the cooking process by lifting the upper grill.
NB:
During cooking, the green light turns on and off in order to maintain the device at the correct temperature.
When cooking has been completed, lift the upper grill and use a non-metallic tool (e.g. a wooden spatula) to
remove the food.
Do not use sharp or abrasive kitchen tools.
After use, disconnect the device from the power outlet and wait until it has cooled down.
Clean the device as indicated in the MAINTENANCE section.
USE AS OPEN GRILL 180°
To open the grill to 180°, simply press and hold the side button (3) and using the handle,
rotate the upper plate until fully opened.
Lightly coat the cooking plates with a little butter or cooking oil.
Insert the plug in the power outlet and adjust the thermostat to the required position. The red
power light is on, while the green light is off.
Wait until the green light turns on.
The device has reached the correct operating temperature and you can now
place the food on the grill.
After use, disconnect the device from the power outlet and wait until it has
cooled down.
Clean the device as indicated in the MAINTENANCE section.
REMOVING THE PLATES
Always disconnect the device from the power supply and let it cool down before removing the cooking plates.
Locate the plate release buttons (7) on the front of the device.
Press the button and the plate will detach slightly from the base.
Grasp the plate with two hands, pull it out from under the metal brackets and lift it off the base.
Press the other plate release button to correctly remove the second cooking plate.
ASSEMBLING THE PLATES
