GRILLING HINTS & TIPS
•
To prevent heat loss and promote even cooking, do not open the grill cover frequently
while cooking.
•
Do not overload grill; it will hold 2 to 4 servings comfortably.
•
Use tender cuts of meat.
•
Marinate tougher cuts of meat to tenderise them before cooking.
•
Better cooking results may be achieved with boneless cuts of meat, chicken and fish.
•
If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
•
Remember that since the grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will typically be
shorter than expected. It is important food is monitored throughout the process to ensure it
is fully cooked and does not burn.
•
Adjust the heat setting gradually and only as necessary. Cooking foods at too high a
temperature can cause them to burn on the outside without cooking through the middle.
CLEANING
CAUTION: Always unplug from the wall power outlet and allow the grill to cool completely
before cleaning. Do not immerse the grill, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
•
Before cleaning, switch the grill off manually by pressing the “POWER” button and remove
the plug from the wall power outlet.
•
When cleaning up after grilling, with the drip tray placed at the front of the grill, use the
plastic spatula to scrape off any excess fat and food particles left on the grill plates.
•
Wipe plates with a damp cloth and a little detergent to remove any grease or char marks.
•
Empty the plastic drip tray. Hand wash in warm, soapy water or alternatively place in the
dishwasher on the top shelf.
CAUTION: Ensure the open grill cover is held by the handle while cleaning to prevent it
from accidentally closing and causing injury.
•
Remove the top and bottom plates by pulling the release handles outwards and lifting out
of the grill.
•
Hand-wash the plates in warm, soapy water or alternatively place in the dishwasher. If
washing in a dishwasher, wipe the uncoated side of the plate with a dry towel to prevent
discolouration.
NOTE: Dishwasher detergent may cause oxidation on the uncoated side of the grill plate.
This is not harmful and can be wiped off with a damp towel.
CAUTION: Do not use scouring pads, scrapers or metal objects to clean the cooking
plates. These will damage the ceramic surface. Utilise instead a gentle, non-metallic
scrubbing pad or sponge to get rid of stubborn build up.
•
Once clean and dry, securely re-attach the plates to the grill.
•
To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, wet sponge and dry with a soft cloth.
•
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be performed by a
qualified technician.
