TOP GRILL PLATE OPERATING POSITIONS
■
This contact grill can be used with the top grill plate
A4
in three different positions,
i.e. top grill plate tilted down, top grill plate raised in vertical position or tilted out to
the same level as the bottom grill plate
A5
(so-called open grill).
■
When the grill is used with the top grill plate

set to the vertical position, it is
necessary to tilt it up fully.

plate
A5
, use the index finger on one hand to hold down button

and with the
other hand tilt open the top grill plate
A4
using the handle

TIPS FOR GRILLING MEAT AND SMOKED GOODS
■
To achieve optimal results, cut the meat into equally thick slices.
■
To prevent meat from becoming tough and dried out, it is recommended not to salt
it prior to grilling it. It is recommended to salt and season the food with spices only
after it has been cooked.
■
Before grilling marinated meat, first wipe off any excess marinade using a kitchen
towel. Certain types of marinades may have a large sugar content which may
subsequently burn on.
■
When grilling, do not puncture the meat so that juices do not run out of it, making
it tough and dry.
■
Do not dry out the meat by grilling it for too long.
■
Always make sure that chicken meat is thoroughly cooked.
■
You do not have to prick pre-cooked hot dogs before grilling them.
