• Remove all the packaging materials and wash the grill plate, grease
tray and hood thoroughly. The grill plate and the grease tray are both
dishwasher safe.
Important:
Dry all the different parts thoroughly, especially the appliance
socket. Never immerse the adjustable thermostat on detachable cord in
water or any other liquid.
• Heat the grill to its maximum setting for about 10 minutes, with the
hood 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. This is normal and will disappear
after a short time.
oPeRaTINg THe aPPlIaNce
• Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply.
• Set the thermostat to the required temperature level (it usually takes
about 3 minutes to heat up).
• The power indicator light will go out as soon as the required
temperature has been reached.
• Place the food to be grilled on the grill plate.

TIPS FoR gRIllINg
• Your meat will be tendered if you marinade it overnight before cooking
(the marinade is always made of oil (to add 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).
• Turn meat and fish only once during grilling. Turning the food too often
will lead to dehydration.
• Never cook meat too long.
• In case the cooked food sticks to the grill plate, rub the plate with a
piece of kitchen paper soaked in oil.
