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 (13) out of the appliance socket.
-
Wash the grill plate (3) and fat collecting bowl (4) with hot washing-up water (they are dishwasher safe).
Do not use steel wool pads or abrasives.
-
Wipe the base of the appliance (5) with a damp cloth. Fat splashes can be removed with a mild cleaning agent.
Note:
-
The grill plate has a non-stick coating. Do not scratch this coating during either the grilling or the cleaning stages.
-
Tip: Use a washing-up brush with plastic bristles to clean the grill plate
Protect the appliance from dust and dirt if it is not to be used for a prolonged length of time (wrap it in a plastic bag). Store
it in a dry place.
Disposal
Disable unserviceable appliances immediately. Remove the mains plug and cut up the mains connection cable. If possi-
ble, bring unserviceable appliances to an official waste collection point. Most local authorities provide removal services for
bulky refuse at least once a year.
