INSTALLATION
Caution: Hot Surfaces
Top and bottom plates operate at very high temperatures. Use only the handle when opening and closing the top
plate. The lid covering the top plate will get hot.
Place grill on the work surface and adjust the feet so that grill is level.
Close
the top plate/s and plug into a 3kw
socket (or two sockets, see electrical specifications). Switch on and set the temperature control to maximum and
leave for 10-15 minutes (top plate remaining closed). During this time the temperature control light (will switch on
and off several times indicating when power is being consumed.
After 10-15 minutes the grill is ready for use
Note:
It is quite normal for an odour to come from the grill at this time. This will disappear after the grill has been used for a
couple of times.
Your grill is now ready for use
- but please read on before starting to cook

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Important Note:
As with all cooking equipment keeping the appliance clean is very important. Particular attention should be paid to
the cooking surfaces as good cleaning practice is essential to hygiene and for obtaining the maximum life from the
appliance.
Care of the cooking surfaces.
The cooking surfaces are treated with one of the most durable treatments currently available. Its properties eliminate
the necessity to continually grease the plates during use. The treatment embeds stainless steel into the surface of
the plates, so do not be alarmed when a silver colour begins to show. With time, the silver grey colour will wear away
(the treatment is food grade and totally safe) and natural seasoning of the plates will take place.
Use the metal
scraper provided
.
When a food item has been removed from the grill immediately scrape away any food residue from the cooking
surfaces using the scraper supplied, or wipe off with a paper towel. At the end of the day or cooking period
thoroughly scrape the cooking surfaces and wipe clean with a paper kitchen towel. We also recommend cleaning
these surfaces with a scouring pad and water. After cleaning this way, the surface may become extra dry; if this is
so then
very lightly
grease both plates with cooking oil or margarine spread. This greasing is best achieved by
wiping the plates when warm with a paper kitchen towel smeared with the oil or margarine.
Between cooking items it is advisable to leave the top plate open. Leaving it closed increases the possibility of
burning any grease/oil into carbon (see CARBON BUILD-UP).
ONLY IF REALLY NECESSARY,
lightly
grease the food prior to cooking. If grease/oil is applied to the plate
surfaces use the method described at the installation stage. Do not have the plates swimming in grease/oil.
Fat Collection Tray
Clean daily (or more often if necessary) Remove from grill by sliding to one side, wash out with warm water and
washing up liquid or place in dishwasher.
Removable Splash Guard
Clean periodically as for the fat collection tray. Unscrew the two wing nuts and remove from the back of the grill.
When replacing, be sure to
tighten
the wing nuts. With the splash guard removed the top plate can be lifted away
from the grill and placed onto the work surface. Lay this down gently and avoid kinking the spring tube.
General care of the grill
The body of the grill is stainless steel. Cleaning with a mixture of warm water and washing-up liquid will remove fat
and grease. Performed daily this is good hygiene practice and makes cleaning far less of a chore. Use of a stainless
steel cleaner brightens up the appearance of the grill and aids cleaning maintenance.
Do not use
caustic cleaners

Carbon build-up
Fat and grease left on hot cooking surfaces quickly turn to carbon. This bakes onto the surfaces beginning with a
brown appearance and then turning black. Carbon can only be removed with much effort by chipping away with a
