Using the appliance

This product is for household use only.

Caution: Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

Note: The appliance may produce some smoke when you use it for the first time. This is normal.

  1. Slide the drip tray into the base (Fig. 2).Note: The drip tray can only be slid into the base in one way.
  2. Place the grilling grid (HD6372 only) or the barbecue grid on the base (Fig. 3).
  3. Put the plug in the wall socket (1) and turn the control knob to the ‘keep-warm’ position for 2 seconds (2) (Fig. 4).
  4. Turn the control knob to the ‘on’ position (Fig. 5).
    • HD6372: The grilling grid is hot and ready for use right away.
    • HD6372, HD6371, HD6371: Heating up of the barbecue grid takes 6-7 minutes.
  5. Use a spatula or a pair of tongs to place the ingredients on the grid (Fig. 6).Be careful: the grid is hot!

    Note: When you marinate your food, only use little oil and brush the marinade lightly onto the food as the oil causes extra smoke.

    • Barbecue grid only: during the grilling process, you hear the sizzling sound that is typical for barbecuing.

    Note: The grilling time depends on the thickness and size of the food and may vary.

    Note: If you grill very fatty ingredients, you will still notice some smoke coming off the food, but much less than with a conventional electric table grill.

  6. When the food is done, remove it from the grid or turn the control knob to the keep-warm position if you want to eat the food later. (Fig. 7)Use a spatula or a pair of tongs to remove the food. Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils.
  7. Loosen any caked food or grease carefully with a spatula and remove excess oil from the drip tray before you grill the next batch of food.
  8. To continue grilling, place the next batch of food on the grid.
  9. When you have finished grilling, switch off the appliance (1) and remove the plug from the wall outlet(2). (Fig. 8)
Grilling times (Fig. 9)

In the food table you will find some types of food you can cook on the grill. The table shows how long the food needs to be grilled. The grilling time and temperature depend on the type of food that you prepare (e.g. meat), its thickness and its temperature and also on your own taste.

Note: Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

Tips

  • Tender pieces of meat are best suited for grilling.
  • Pieces of meat such as steaks become more tender if marinated overnight.
  • Turn the food only once with a spatula or a pair of tongs to ensure that it remains juicy inside and does not dry out. Do not use any metal tools like forks or grill tongs as they damage the non-stick coating of the grids.
  • Do not turn the grilled food too frequently.
  • When you make satay or kebab, soak bamboo or wooden skewers in water to prevent them from getting scorched during grilling. Do not use metal skewers.
  • Sausages tend to burst when they are being grilled. To prevent this, cut the skin a few times lengthwise.
  • Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat. This helps to keep the meat juicy. For the best result, make sure the pieces of meat you prepare are not too thick (approx. 1/2 in / 1.5cm).

This table grill is not suitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.

Cleaning and maintenance

Note: Clean the appliance after every use.

Never use abrasive cleansers and materials, as this damages the non-stick coating of the grids.

  1. Set the control knob to the off position and unplug the appliance (Fig. 8).
  2. Let the appliance, grid, drip tray and any rendered fat cool down completely before you start cleaning the appliance (Fig. 10).
  3. Remove excess oil from the grid using a paper towel before you remove the grid for cleaning.
  4. Lift the grid from the base by its handgrips (Fig. 11).
  5. Slide the drip tray out of the base (Fig. 12).Note: The drip tray can only be slid out of the base in one way.
  6. Soak the grid and the drip tray in hot water with some dishwashing liquid for five minutes or drizzle some lemon juice onto the grid. This loosens any caked food or grease.
  7. Clean the base with a damp cloth.
  8. Clean the grid and the drip tray with a soft cloth or sponge in hot water with some dishwashing liquid or in the dishwasher.
  9. Dry the grid and drip tray.
