Contact grill (use the grill plate)
The contact grill is ideal for cooking hamburgers, deboned
meat and thin meat slices, vegetables and sandwiches.
The “contact” function is perfect to prepare food rapidly and
healthily. When you use the contact grill, the food cooks
quickly as it is in contact with the plates on both side at once
(see figure).
The
grease
from the food
is drained and
collected by the
grooves on the
plate and the hole
at the corner.
When the appliance is used in the “contact” position, we
recommend using the grill plates.
Rest the cover evenly on the food until the required cooking
temperature is reached.
The appliance has a special handgrip and hinge allowing the
cover to be adjusted according to the thickness of the food.
Thinly sliced potatoes and very thick steaks can be prepared
with equally perfect results. If you want to cook a number of
different types of food simultaneously using the contact grill,
the various foods should have the same thickness to allow the
cover to be closed evenly.
Barbecue mode with grill plate (use the grill plate)
The appliance can be used as a grill/barbecue to prepare
hamburgers, steak, chicken (chicken on the bone is not
recommended as it does not cook evenly) and fish.
The grill/barbecue mode is the most versatile.
The plates are in the open position, doubling the cooking
surface (see figure). You can prepare a number of different
foods on the separate plates without mixing the flavours, or
cook more of the same food.
The grill/barbecue position can be used to grill cuts of meat
with different
thicknesses,
each with the
preferred level
of cooking.
In the grill/
b a r b e c u e
position, the cover is fully open, creating a double flat
cooking surface.
In this position, you need to turn the food during cooking. To
use the appliance in the grill/barbecue position, insert the
grill plates.
Barbecue mode with griddle plate (model CGH902
only)
The appliance can also be used as a griddle plate to prepare
pancakes, eggs, cheese, fritters and bacon and sausages for
breakfast (see figure). The griddle plate function is ideal
to
prepare
a
fantastic
breakfast for
two or for all
the family. The
large cooking
surface enables
a number of different foods to be prepared simultaneously, or
to cook more of the same food.
When the appliance is used as a griddle plate, the cover must
be fully opened to create a double flat cooking surface.
In this position, you need to turn the food during cooking.
When using this function, insert the griddle plates.
