HOW TO USE THE GRILLThe grill features 2 x PLATE RELEASE.These allow you to independently remove the top and bottom cooking plates for easy cleaning, or to interchange plate positions.

To use the PLATE RELEASE:

  • Always ensure the grill is completely cool.
  • Use the handle to open the top plate to a 90 degree position.
  • Use the ‘Plate Release’ on the front, right side of the top plate to remove the top cooking plate, and the ‘Plate Release’ on the right side of the control panel to remove the bottom cooking plate.
  • Once released, gently slide the plates off the grill.
  • When using the grill as a contact grill or sandwich press, release the clip and simultaneously lift the handle.

NOTE: When the grill is turned on and heating for the first time, it may emit a fine smoke haze. This is due to the protective substances on the heating elements. It is safe and not detrimental to the performance of the grill.WARNING:  Do not use spray-on, non-stick coatings as these will affect the performance of the non-stick cooking plates. Never use metal or sharp utensils as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cooking plates.

Functions

USE AS A CONTACT GRILL OR PANINI PRESS

  1. Ensure the drip tray is correctly inserted into the grill.
  2. Ensure the cooking plates are correctly inserted and securely locked into position.
  3. Place the grill on a flat, dry surface. Ensure there is a minimum distance of 20cm of space on both sides of the appliance.

  5. Press the POWER button. The grill alert will sound and the POWER light will go on.
  6. To preheat the grill:
    • Ensure the top plate of the grill is closed.This will ensure faster, more efficient preheating.

  8. Place food on the bottom cooking plate.
  9. Use the handle to close the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has two features designed to produce optimum cooking results:
    • Floating top plate. The top cooking plate is hinged, allowing the top plate to be positioned horizontally on the food surface. This ensures the front of the food is as evenly cooked as the back.It also allows the top plate to float above the food surface, radiating heat to create open sandwich style ‘melts’.
    • Adjustable height control. This feature reduces the weight of the top plate on delicate foods like fish and accommodates varying thicknesses of food like artisan breads. Located on the right side of the top plate, the clip fixes the top plate to a range of positions above the bottom plate. To set the adjustable height control, use the handle to lift the top plate and simultaneously move the adjustable height control clip to the desired height. Then slowly lower the top plate until it rests on the adjustable height control clip.
  10. When the food is cooked, remove from the cooking plates using heat proof plastic or wooden utensils.

Care & Cleaning

Ensure the grill is turned OFF by pressing the POWER button. Remove the power plug from the wall outlet. Allow the grill to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.Always clean the outer body, drip tray and cooking plates after each use to prevent a build-up of ingredients.

NOTE:  Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads on any of the interior or exterior surfaces of the grill. These will scratch the surfaces and damage the non-stick coating on the cooking plates.WARNING: Do not immerse the body, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid as this may cause electrocution.

CLEANING THE OUTER BODYWipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the grill surface, before cleaning.Rinse. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAYAfter each use, slide out the drip tray and discard contents. Wash the tray in warm soapy water with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the tray, before cleaning. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Always ensure to re-insert the drip tray into the grill after cleaning and prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

NOTE: The drip tray can also be washed in a dishwasher.WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when handling the drip tray containing hot fats and juices.

CLEANING THE COOKING PLATES
