B Selecting the cooking position
Once you have fitted the cooking plates you intend to use, you need to select the cooking
position.
Fully open position
The Griddle
&
Grill can be used in the fully open position
to create a double cooking surface.
To adjust the Griddle
&
Grill to the fully open position, lift
the handle using your left hand, then use your right hand
to push the hinge lock located on the right side of the
product upwards. As you do this, push the handle back,
until it is resting on the work surface and the upper and
lower plates are level.
Half Open Position
The Griddle
&
Grill can be used in the half open position. To
adjust the appliance to this position, simply lift the handle
until it comes into the fully upright position. The unit will
stay in this position until you close the cover or continue to
open it to the fully open position.
Closed Position
The Griddle
&
Grill can be used in the closed position as a
contact grill/panini press and is is ideal for quick cooking
as the heat comes from both sides of the plates.
The floating hinge design means that the space between
the top and bottom plate adjusts to the thickness of your
food. When cooking more than one item at a time, try to
ensure the thickness of the food is consistent to ensure
even cooking for each piece of food.
To achieve this position simply place food on the bottom
plate, place your left hand on the handle, use your right hand to push up the hinge lock
with light pressure and push down on the lid until the lid is level with the base unit and is
resting on your food. You can apply light pressure using the handle to press whilst cooking
to lock in flavour.
