BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.
Your grill may smoke a little the first time you use it. This is normal and will soon disappear.
TILTING/LEVELLING THE GRILL
You can tilt your grill so that fat and juices run into the drip tray when cooking things like burgers, meat, etc. Alternatively, you can use your grill level for
cooking things like panini, sandwiches, etc.
To tilt your grill extend the foot downwards below your grill (FIG A). Fold the foot flat again to level your grill.
PLATES
The grill plates are best for grilling meat, sausages and anything that might give off fat. Use with the grill in the tilted position.
Deep plate—the deep plate is ideal for cooking non-fatty items, pizza, baking, pittas, calzone and batters (e.g. Yorkshire pudding). Use it with the grill in
the level position. You must always have the upper grill plate fitted when using the deep plate.
Removing the plates
1. Open the grill. Remove one plate at a time.
2. Press the plate release button and lift the plate away from the grill (FIG C).
Fitting the plates
1. Fit one plate at a time.
2. Put the tabs into the slots on the hinge side of the appliance.
3. Press the other edge of the plate into the handle side, to lock it in place.
• At the places 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.
