Frequently Asked Questions - TCG4215 BOSCH

How to clean the plates of the Bosch TCG4215?

The plates, grease collection trays and gratin dish are dishwasher-safe. You can also clean them by hand while still warm. The appliance itself can be cleaned with a damp cloth, without immersing.

What to do if the appliance does not heat up?

Check that the appliance is plugged in and that the rotary knobs are set to a temperature. The control indicators should light up. If the problem persists, contact Bosch after-sales service.

Can I use the grill without the plates?

No, never operate the appliance without its plates. This could damage the appliance or cause injury.

How to lock the appliance for storage?

After cooling, close the plates and move the two locking sliders to the locked position.

How to use the contact grilling mode?

Place the plates with the ridged side facing inward, close the appliance, set the temperature and place the food. The heat cooks evenly from top and bottom.

How to avoid burns during use?

Always use the handle to manipulate the appliance. Do not touch hot surfaces. Wait for complete cooling before cleaning or storing.

Why is there smoke during first use?

This is normal: manufacturing residues burn off. Ventilate the room and let the appliance heat up 3 times without food at maximum power.

Can I use metal utensils on the plates?

Avoid objects with sharp edges to avoid scratching the non-stick coating. Use utensils made of wood, silicone or heat-resistant plastic.

How to adjust the temperature on the Bosch TCG4215?

Turn the rotary knobs (1 for the upper plate, 3 for the lower one) to the desired position. The indicator lights go out when the temperature is reached.

How to dispose of the appliance at the end of its life?

In accordance with European directive 2012/19/EU, do not dispose of the appliance with household waste. Take it to a collection point for electrical and electronic equipment.

Using the appliance

Risk of burns!

Fat may splash during grilling.

Important: Do not operate without grill plates! Do not scratch the coated plates with sharp-edged objects!

As the contact grill can be used in different positions, various cooking methods are possible. The fold-out pages at the front of the instruction manual illustrate recommended grilling times and grill settings for different foods.

Contact grilling (Fig. 2a)

The corrugated side of the upper grill plate is placed directly on the food. The food is cooked evenly from above and below. Especially suitable for quick grilling at high temperatures, e.g. rump steaks, chops or paninis.

Grilling (Fig. 2b)

The grill is opened fully. The food is distributed over the whole area and must be turned.

Making crêpes (Fig. 2c)

The grill is opened fully. Use the smooth sides of the grill plates.

Au gratin dishes

The upper plate is pulled up and is suspended horizontally in the highest position. The upper grill plate must not touch the food. Especially suitable for cooking “au gratin” and for baking toppings.

Casserole dish (Fig. 2d)

Use the smooth sides of the grill plates and fill the casserole dish.

Preparation

■ Position the contact grill according to the cooking method.
■ Fig. 5: Insert grill plates with the corrugated or smooth side according to the cooking method.
■ Place the fat collecting cup under the fat drain.
■ Close the appliance and select the required temperature using the respective rotary knobs.
■ The indicator lights light up. They extinguish as soon as the set temperature has been reached.
■ Now place the food or the casserole dish on the grill.
■ The cooking time depends on the thickness and size of the food.

Tip: To obtain optimum results, adjust the temperatures during use.

General

Grill food so it is light instead of dark or brown, remove burnt remnants. Do not overgrill starchy foods, especially potato and cereal products (production of acrylamides minimised).

Before placing food on the grill plates, preheat the grill. Place food on the grill plates. Before placing new food on the plates, wipe them with kitchen roll. Frozen food items must be fully defrosted and dry. Only add salt to meat and fish after grilling.
