Before using for the first time
Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth.
Grill or griddle?
The grill and griddle are independent. You may use each one on its own, or both of them
together. Each has its own temperature control and light.
• Each temperature control is marked 0 (off) to 3 (max).
• Each light will come on while its element heats up, it will go off when it reaches the
correct temperature, then cycle on and off with the thermostat.
Preparation
• Cut the food to be grilled no more than 25mm thick.
• Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, so it catches any run-off.
• Wipe the cooking plates with a little cooking oil or butter, then close it. Don’t use low fat
spread – it may burn on to the grill.
• Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
Using the griddle
• Use the griddle for eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, or other delicate
foods that might be crushed or flattened in the grill.
• Turn the control to the setting you want, wait until the light goes off,
then start cooking.
• Lay the food on the cooking plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.
• The griddle cooks on one side, so it’s slower than the grill, and you
will have to turn the food to cook it on both sides.
Using the grill
• Turn the control to the setting you want, wait until the light goes off, then start cooking.
• Lay the food on the bottom cooking plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.
• Close the grill. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.
• The cooking plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.
Finished
• When finished cooking, turn the temperature control to off. Disconnect plug from the
power outlet.
• Remove food using the plastic spatula. Be sure to always use either silicone or plastic
utensils so as not to scratch the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives
as these can damage the non-stick coating.
• Let the appliance cool completely.
• When cool, the drip tray may be removed and emptied.
CAUTION: Be sure liquid has cooled before removing drip tray.
