Frequently Asked Questions - OptiGrill+ GO712DS0 OBH NORDICA

How do I use the OptiGrill+ GO712DS0?

Plug in the grill, select an automatic program or manual mode, wait for preheating (indicator light turns green), place food on the plates, close the lid, and cook until the desired doneness is reached. Refer to the manual for specific program details.

Does the grill need to be preheated?

Yes, the OptiGrill+ requires preheating. The indicator light will show red during preheating and turn green when ready. This ensures even cooking and optimal results.

How do I clean the OptiGrill+?

Unplug and let cool. Remove the non-stick plates and drip tray. They are dishwasher safe or can be washed with warm soapy water. Wipe the base with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the base in water.

Can I use aluminum foil or parchment paper?

It is not recommended to use aluminum foil or parchment paper as they can interfere with the sensors and non-stick coating. The plates are designed for direct contact with food.

What should I do if the grill smokes excessively?

Excess smoke may be caused by food residue or high fat content. Ensure plates are clean before use. Trim excess fat from meats. If smoking persists, reduce cooking temperature or switch to a lower fat program.

How do I adjust cooking time manually?

While in manual mode, you can adjust the timer using the + and - buttons. The grill will beep when cooking is complete. Automatic programs adjust time based on sensor readings.

Is the OptiGrill+ safe for leaving unattended?

The grill has an auto shut-off feature that turns it off after a set period or if overheating. However, it is always recommended to monitor the grill while in use.

What types of food can I cook?

The OptiGrill+ is suitable for meat (burgers, steaks, chicken, sausages), fish, vegetables, and even panini. The 8 preset programs cover a wide range of foods.

Can I grill frozen food?

Yes, but cooking time will be longer. It is best to use the appropriate program or manual mode with a higher temperature. Ensure food reaches a safe internal temperature.

Where can I find replacement parts or accessories?

Contact OBH Nordica customer service or visit their official website. Some parts like plates may be available for purchase. Keep your model number (GO712DS0) ready.
