FLAT FOR SANDWICHES OR TILTED FOR GRILLING?
• You may raise the rear foot to tilt the grill and speed the flow of fat into the drip
tray, or leave it flat to prevent fillings such as melting cheese moving towards
the front of the grill.
• Grill meat, burgers, anything that exudes fat, on the tilt.
• Grill sandwiches, panini, foods with fluid fillings like melting cheese, on the flat.
• Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, to catch run-off.
USING YOUR GRILL
• Place the grill on a flat, level, heat resistant surface, leaving enough space
around all sides to allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets, walls and
overhanging curtains.
• Either raise the rear foot to tilt the grill or leave flat and under the base of the grill.
• Place the drip tray under the front of the grill.
• Using the handle, close the lid.
• Plug the power cord into a power outlet and turn the power on. The light will illuminate.
• The green thermostat light will illuminate when the grill reaches operating temperature.
NOTE: The thermostat light will cycle on and off during cooking as the grill
maintains temperature.
• Using the handle, lift the lid and carefully place items to be cooked onto the
bottom cooking plate.
• Close the lid, allowing the grill to begin cooking from both sides at once. The
grill is designed with a floating hinge to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods
allowing even cooking.
• The grill plates should be parallel to avoid uneven cooking.
NOTE: Normal cooking times are significantly reduced as the grill cooks from
both sides at once. As a rule of thumb, cooking times are generally halved when
compared to traditional ‘one side at a time’ grilling.
CAUTION: Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
• Monitor food whilst cooking to ensure food is fully cooked and does not burn.
• When finished cooking switch the power off at the power outlet and remove the plug.
• Using an oven mitt or tea towel, carefully open the lid.
• Remove food using the plastic spatula or a non-metallic utensil.
NOTE: Be sure to always use either silicone, plastic or wooden utensils so as not
to scratch the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives as these
can damage the coating of the cooking plates.
• Allow the grill to cool completely.
CAUTION: Be sure the drip tray contents have cooled before removing drip tray.
• Once cool, the drip tray may be removed and emptied and the grill can be cleaned.
