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.
USING YOUR GRILL
•
Sit your grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from cupboards, curtains, etc.
•
Check that the drip tray is fully pushed in – the rear should sit beneath both spillways.
The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run off the plates during cooking.
1.
Put the plug into the power socket.
2.
The power light will come on as long as the appliance is connected to the electricity
supply. The grill plates will now start heating up.
3.
The thermostat light will come on when the appliance reaches working temperature.
4.
It will then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
5.
When the thermostat light comes on, open the grill.
6.
Lay the food on the bottom grill plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.
7.
Close the grill. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods. The
grill plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.
8.
Check that the food is cooked. If you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.
NOTE:
Use wooden or plastic utensils to prevent damage to the plates. Do not use metal
utensils.
9.
When you have finished cooking unplug your grill.
MORE?
• When necessary, put on an oven glove, slide the drip tray out from under the bottom
plate and empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl. Wipe it with kitchen paper then
replace it in the rails under the front of the grill.
• Push it in – the rear should sit beneath both spillways.
GRIDDLE/BARBECUE
You may open the grill up for use as a griddle or barbecue.
To go to the griddle position:
1.
Move the handle forward till the plates are less than 90 degrees apart
2.
Press the release button, and hold it in
3.
Pull the handle back, till the grill is fully open
4.
Check that the front of the top plate doesn’t catch on the end of the stabilisers
5.
If it does, close it slightly, push the top of the plate with an oven glove, and open it again
6.
Let the release button go
7.
Lift the front of the grill, and flip the extendible feet out, to level the bottom grill plate.
To close the griddle, lift the handle till the plates are less than 90 degrees apart.
You can then close it fully, or open it again in grilling mode.
Lift the front of the grill, and rotate the extendible feet into the grill, to restore the slope to
the bottom grill plate.
