PREHEAT
5 Put the plug into the power socket – the power light will glow.
6 When the grill reaches operating temperature, the thermostat light will glow. It will
then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.

FILL THE GRILL
7 When the thermostat light glows, use an oven glove to open the grill.
8 Lay the food on the bottom grill plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.
9 Close the grill. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.
10 The grill plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.
11 Wait while the food cooks.

REMOVE THE FOOD
12 Check that the food is cooked. If you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.
13 Use the oven glove to open the grill.
14 Use wooden or plastic tools to remove the food.

MORE?

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1 Unplug the grill and let it cool before cleaning and storing away.
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.
4 Take extra care with the non-stick cooking surfaces.
5 Don’t put the grill in water or any other liquid.
6 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.

STORAGE
7 To save space, lower the flap, wind the cable round the cable storage, then store the
grill upright.
