USING YOUR GRILL
• Sit your grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from cupboards, curtains, etc.
• Slide the drip tray between the two runners underneath the front of your grill. Slide the
tray all the way in. The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run off the plates during
cooking.
1. Put the plug into the power socket and press
I
to switch on.
2. The grill plates will now start heating up.
3. When the thermostat light goes out your grill is at the correct cooking temperature.
4. The light will cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
5. Open your grill and carefully lay the food on the bottom grill plate. Use a spatula or tongs.
6. Close the grill.
7. When you have finished cooking unplug your grill.
• Check that the food is cooked. If you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.
• Always use an oven glove when opening or closing the grill.
• Use wooden or plastic utensils to prevent damage to the plates.
• The grill hinge is articulated to accommodate thick or oddly shaped foods.
• The grill plates should be roughly parallel to avoid uneven cooking.
• When necessary, use an oven glove and empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl. Wipe it
with kitchen paper then replace it under the front of your grill.
RACLETTE GRILLING
1. Use the handle first to open the lid, then to lift it up, raising the hinges.
2. Now pull gently forward, closing the grill, but leaving a gap between the cooking plates.
3. Raclette grilling is slower, as the upper cooking plate is clear of the food, but it grills
without squashing, for things like cheese on toast, or panini.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug your grill and let it cool completely before cleaning or storing.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a paper towel with a dab of cooking oil
to remove stubborn stains.
3. Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher.
• Take extra care with the non-stick cooking surfaces. Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners,
solvents, scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.
• Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs of
wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.
