COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY
Use these times purely as a guide. They’re for
contact grilling
fresh or fully defrosted food and have been
selected based on temperature setting 3. For more delicate foods, or if you prefer food less crispy or more
rare, select one of the lower settings. When cooking frozen foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood, and 3-6
minutes for meat and poultry, depending on the thickness and density of the food. If you prefer well-done/
crispy food or quicker cooking times select temperature setting 4. When cooking pre-packed foods, follow
any guidelines on the package or label.
