• When you intend to grill juicy or fat meat and/or use much oil and/or butter, do not forget to place drip-cup(s) under the drain(s) to catch fat or juice (fig. 6).

• Grill dry and unsalted meat and fish. (You may add salt after grilling.) You can use the Contact Grill in three positions: “Party grill” (fig. 7 on page 44) In this position the Contact Grill offers a large grilling area for preparing all kinds of snacks, such as shashlick with onions, fruits, sateh, etc. - Flap-out the support (fig. 8). - Set the temperature control to position 5 (fig. 9). - Preheat the grill for about 15 minutes in closed position (fig. 10). - Pull the hinges up to the high position (fig. 11) and put the Contact Grill in the open position (fig. 12). - Divide the food over the grilling area. - From time to time turn the food using wooden spatulas. “Hotplate” (fig. 13) Set the Compact Grill in this position, cover the grilling plates with aluminium foil and set the temperature knob in a low position (2 or 3). Then the grill is converted into a thermostatically controlled hotplate which will automatically keep your dishes at the required temperature. Important

“Contact grill” (fig. 14) This position is the best choice for intense grilling (rumpsteak, hamburger etc.), for toasting bread and for preparing tosti. - Set the temperature control to position 4 or 5 (fig. 15). - Preheat the grill for about 15 minutes in closed position (fig. 16). - Open the grill half way (fig. 17). - Put the food (meat, tosti’s etc.) in the middle of the lower grilling plate (fig. 18). - Lift the upper part a little and then close the grill (fig. 19). The upper part of the grill is now resting on the food, which is heated from both sides equally strong. “Gratinating grill” (fig. 20) This is the ideal position for simultaneous grilling and gratinating. The position is also suited for all kinds of “open toast” with egg, tomato, paprica and/or onion rings covered with cheese. - Set the temperature control to position 5 (fig. 21). - Preheat the grill for about 15 minutes in closed position (fig. 22). - Open the grill half way (fig. 23). - Put the food in the middle of the lower grill plate (fig. 24). - Pull the hinges up to the high position (fig. 25). - Put the upper part horizontally (fig. 26). Note: the upper grilling plate should not be in contact with the food! Frozen food (fig. 27) This position can be also be used to defreeze frozen food. Wrap the frozen food in aluminium foil. Set the temperature control to a low position (2 or 3). What temperature? How long? Which position? In the table you can find a number of dishes to be prepared with the Contact Grill. Kind of food Fish (small pieces) German sausage Half chicken Hamburger (deep frozen, pre-baked) Lambs chop Meat with short grilling times (e.g. fillet steak, loin meat or entrecôte) Mix grill (small pieces) Open toast Pine apple (slices) Shashlick Toasted sandwich (tosti) Trout Turkey / chicken fillet (250 g) Keeping dishes warm Defrosting Grilling time (minutes) 4-6 8-10 20-25 6-8 4-6 dependent on the thickness of the meat and your personal preference 8-10 5-6 4-5 8-10 3-4 8-10 6-8

Position of temperature knob

Indicated are the temperature to be set, how long the food should be grilled and the appropriate position of the grill. The time for preheating is not included in the indicated grilling time. During the process of grilling the temperature pilot lamp will illuminate from time to time. This means that the Contact Grill stabilizes the set grilling temperature. You can continue grilling. The grilling times and temperatures can of course be adapted to your taste. Furthermore, the settings depend on the kind of food (meat e.g.), its thickness and its original temperature. See also the indications on your Contact Grill. Tip: When preparing sateh, chicken, porc and veal, first sear shortly at high temperature (5). Then you may set the temperature control one position lower and do the food well. For U.K. only: Fitting a different plug This appliance is fitted with a BS 1363 13 Amp. plug. Should you need to replace the plug, connect the wires as follows: Green/yellow wire to the Earth terminal (E) of the new plug. Brown wire to the Live (L) terminal of the new plug. Blue wire to the Neutral (N) terminal of the new plug. Always fit the same value of fuse as that originally supplied with your appliance. Only use BS 1362 approved fuses. As a guide only: Appliances under 700 W can have a 3 Amp. fuse (red) and all others should have a 13 Amp. fuse (brown). When disposing of an old plug (particularly the moulded type which has been cut from the mains cord) always remove the fuse as the plug could be dangerous if ever inserted in a live socket.7 Français Description générale (fig. 1, page 3) A Plaque de cuisson supérieure B Plaque de cuisson inférieure C Poignée D Clips de fixation des plaques E Lampe témoin de température F Thermostat G Charnières (2 positions : haut et bas) H Bec d’écoulement I Support (dépliez) Avant la première mise en service - Placez l’appareil en position “Party Grill” (fig. 8, 11, 12). - Retirez les plaques de cuisson (fig. 2, 3) et lavez-les à l’eau chaude savonneuse (fig. 4). - Rincez les plaques de cuisson et séchez-les. - Replacez les plaques de cuisson dans l’appareil (fig. 5). - Mettez le Contact Grill dans un endroit sûr.
