Electromagnetic fields (EMF)

This Philips appliance complies with all applicable standards and regulations regarding exposure to electromagnetic fields.

Before first use

1 Remove any stickers and wipe the appliance with a damp cloth. 2 Clean the appliance and the grid thoroughly (see chapter 'Cleaning').

Using the appliance

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. 3). 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. 4). 3 Put the plug in the wall socket (1) and turn the control knob to the 'keep-warm' position for 2 seconds (2) (Fig. 5). 4 Turn the control knob to the 'on' position (Fig. 6).

HD6372: The grilling grid is hot and ready for use right away.

It takes 6-7 minutes for the barbecue grid to heat up.

5 Use a spatula or a pair of tongs to place the ingredients on the grid (Fig. 7).

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. 8)

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 socket (2). (Fig. 9)

Grilling times (Fig. 10)

In the food table you find some types of food you can cook on this table grill. The table shows how long the food has to be grilled (not including any heating up time for the appliance). 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.

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. Do not put salt on the meat until after you have grilled it. This helps to keep the meat juicy. For the best result, make sure the pieces of meat you prepare are not too thick (approx. 1.5cm).

This table grill is not suitable for grilling breadcrumb food.

Cleaning and maintenance

Never use abrasive cleaning agents 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. 9). 2 Let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes (Fig. 11). 3 Remove excess oil from the grid with a piece of kitchen paper before you remove the grid for cleaning. 4 Lift the grid from the base by its handgrips (Fig. 12). 5 Slide the drip tray out of the base (Fig. 13).

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 washing-up 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 washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.

9 Dry the grid and drip tray.

10 Reassemble the appliance.

Note: See the separate cleaning table for further instructions.

Maintenance tip: If there are caked food residues on the inside walls of the base, you can use a ceramic scraper to remove the residues.

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country.

Problem Possible cause Solution

Smoke is emitted during grilling.	You are grilling fatty ingredients.	When you grill fatty ingredients like bacon or pork belly, you may notice some smoke coming off the food. When you grill a lot of fatty ingredients, some of the fat will splash onto the sides of the grilling elements and burn. In this case, use the appliance under the extraction hood.
	You are grilling several batches after each other, but you have not cleaned the grease tray and/or the grid after each batch.	Excess oil and food juices or food residues that remain on the grid and in the drip tray will start burning. Make sure you wipe the grid and drip tray with paper kitchen towels after each batch of grilled ingredients. Be careful: the grid and drip tray are hot during and some time after use. Use oven mitts or pot holders when you handle these parts.
	You marinated your ingredients with a lot of oil.	The smoke is caused by burning fat. If you marinate your food with too much oil, some smoke will come off the food. In this case, use the appliance under the extraction hood. To keep smoke production to a minimum, we advise you to use no oil or as little oil as possible.
Food falls through the grid bars onto the drip tray.	The ingredients are cut in too small pieces.	To remove the pieces, wear oven mitts or pot holders and slide the drip tray out of the appliance. Insert the drip tray again. Make sure that you do not cut the ingredients to be grilled into too small pieces. Large vegetables like zucchini can be cut into slices. Small food items like mushrooms should not be cut or only be cut in half.
