MAIN COMPONENTS FIG. 1

• Remove all packaging materials before using the device.
• Clean the product before using it for the first time (see the MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING section).
• Firstly, connect the adjustable thermostat to the apparatus (fig. 2) and then plug it in. Choose the desired thermostat position. The pilot light Fig. 1(4) will come on and stay on until the temperature selected on the thermostat is reached.
• Connect the kitchen grill for about 3 minutes before starting to cook. You can prepare the food while it is heating up.
• Use the spatulas included with the device or Fig. 1 (6). or plastic or wooden cutlery on the grill. Do not use metal utensils to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
• During cooking, the temperature pilot light will flash on and off, indicating that the thermostat is functioning and is constantly regulating the correct temperature.
• When you have finished using the grill, unplug it from the socket.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Unplug the appliance from the mains and leave it to cool before cleaning it.
• Disconnect the apparatus' adjustable thermostat. Never put it into water or any other liquid. × If necessary, clean it with a damp cloth.
• While the grill is in use, we recommend removing the excess fat using a wooden spatula, pushing it towards the grease collector (fig.3).
• Clean the grill with kitchen paper after each use. This way you will stop food remains from sticking to it.
• For thorough cleaning, wash the grill in the dishwasher or with soap and hot water. Do not use abrasive products that could damage the coating.
• Make sure that the apparatus' plug is completely dry before you re-connect it.

PRACTICAL HINTS

• If the meat, fish, etc. is cut into small pieces, it will cook better and more quickly than large pieces.

• We recommend that you use tender meat in the grill. If the meat you want to cook is tough, we recommend that you marinate it (e.g. in milk) the night before.

• Fruits like pineapple and papaya contain an enzyme that breaks down proteins. This makes meat tenderer.
• Avoid piercing the meat to prevent it from drying out. Use tongs when you want to move it.
• Try to turn the food once only, for if you do it more often, the food will get dry.
• When you turn fish, use a long, flat spatula.
• You can use the grill as a tray, taking it straight to the table to keep the food hot. To do so, unplug it.
