BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.

USING YOUR GRILL

• Check that the drip tray is fully pushed in – the rear should sit beneath both spillways.
• Put the plug into the power socket.
• The power light will come on as long as the appliance is connected to the electricity supply.
• The thermostat light will come on when the appliance reaches working temperature.
• It will then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
• When the thermostat light comes on, open the grill.

• Lay the food on the bottom grill plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.

• Close the grill. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods. The grill plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.

• Wait till the food has cooked. Check it's cooked. If you're in doubt, cook it a bit more.
• Remove the cooked food with wooden or plastic tools.
• Unplug the appliance.

MORE?

• Put on an oven glove.
• Slide the drip tray out from under the bottom plate.
  • Empty it into a heatproof bowl.
• Give it a wipe with kitchen paper.
• Replace it in the rails under the front of the grill.
• Push it in – the rear should sit beneath both spillways.

GRIDDLE/BARBECUE

You may open the grill up for use as a griddle or barbecue.

To go to the griddle position:

1. Move the handle forward till the plates are less than 90 degrees apart
2. Press the release button, and hold it in
3. Pull the handle back, till the grill is fully open
4. Check that the front of the top plate doesn't catch on the end of the stabilisers
5. If it does, close it slightly, push the top of the plate with an oven glove, and open it again
6. Let the release button go
7. Lift the front of the grill, and flip the extendible feet out, to level the bottom grill plate.
   To close the griddle, lift the handle till the plates are less than 90 degrees apart.

You can then close it fully, or open it again in grilling mode.

Lift the front of the grill, and rotate the extendible feet into the grill, to restore the slope to the bottom grill plate.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning or storing away.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
3. Use a paper towel moistened with a little cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.
4. Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water, or in the top rack of the dishwasher.
5. Don't use scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.
6. At the places where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.

RECYCLING

To avoid environmental and health problems due to hazardous substances, appliances and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries marked with one of these symbols must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste. Always dispose of electrical and electronic products and, where applicable, rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, at an appropriate official recycling/collection point.

COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY

Use these times purely as a guide. They're for fresh or fully defrosted food. When cooking frozen foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood, and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending on the thickness and density of the food.

When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.
