Seasoning the Cooking Surfaces
The cooking plate surfaces need to be ‘seasoned’
before using for the first time.
1. Ensure the cooking surfaces are clean.
2. Brush the surfaces with cooking oil.
3. Set the thermostat(s) to 110°C and turn the
appliance On. The power indicator light turns
on.
4. Once the appliance reaches temperature the
power indicator light turns off.
5. Turn the appliance Off and allow it to cool
before wiping away any excess oil.
6. The appliance is now ready to use.
Cooking
1. Close the plates.
• Note: It may be necessary to slightly
grease the plates with cooking oil before
cooking depending on the foodstuff.
2. Set the thermostat(s) to the desired
temperature (60°C-300°C) and turn the
appliance On. The power indicator light(s) turn
on.
• Note: 200°C to 220°C is suitable for
general cooking.
3. The power indicator light(s) turn Off when the
appliance has reached the set temperature.
4. Lift the top plate and place the foodstuff on
the bottom plate.
5. Lower the top plate.
Note: All Apuro Contact Grills
feature counter-balanced top
plates that allow for even
cooking.
Note: With the new treatment
for the flat plates, the surfaces
now are smoother and thus
better for cooking and cleaning.
Whereas, the initial surfaces
may appear to have ribbed
markings with the first time use.
After several hours of cooking,
such markings will start to
fade/disappear.
Adjusting Top Plate Tension
Use the Allen key supplied to adjust the tension
of the top plate. Turn clockwise to tighten, anti-
clockwise to loosen.
Note: It is possible to tighten
the plate so that it sits in the
open position (if required).
Apuro recommend the appliance is disconnected
from the power supply and allowed to cool before
any adjustments are made.
