Before using the appliance for the first time
Remove all the packaging materials and wash the grill plate , grease collecting cup and metal cover
thoroughly. The grill plate and the grease collecting cup are both dishwasher safe.
Important: Dry all the different parts thoroughly. This applies especially to the appliance socket .
Never immerse the detachable temperature regulator in water.
Heat the grill to its maximum setting for about 3-5 minutes, with the metal cover closed and without
putting any food on it. Residues left from the manufacturing process may cause some smell and
smoke when the appliance is used for the first time.
Operating the appliance
Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply.
Set the temperature regulator to the required temperature level (it usually takes about 3 minutes to
heat up).
The temperature indicator lamp will go out as soon as the required temperature has been reached.
Place the food to be grilled on the grill plate.
Cooking times
The following are recommended cooking times. Different times will be required for different weights
and sizes of foods to be grilled, and depending on whether you are grilling with or without the metal
cover.
Tips for grilling
Your meat will be tendered if you marinade it overnight before cooking (the marinade is always made of
oil (to and moistness), vinegar (to tenderize) and a mixture of seasonings).
Always use tongs or some form of scoop to turn the grilled food (using a fork to turn the food will dry it out
and damage the non-stick coating).
Only turn meat and fish once during grilling. You do not need to turn it more than once and too much
turning dries food out.
Never cook meat for too long. Even pork is better if it is served when it is still somewhat pink and juicy.
If cooked food sticks to the grill plate, rub the plate with a piece of kitchen paper soaked in oil from time to
time.
Cleaning and looking after the appliance
Disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply.
Allow the grill to cool completely.
Take the detachable temperature regulator out of the appliance socket.
