Frequently Asked Questions - TCG3323 BOSCH

How to clean the cooking plates?

The removable plates can be removed and cleaned in the dishwasher. For manual cleaning, use a soft cloth and soapy water. Never use abrasive products, metal objects, or a steam cleaner.

What oil to use for the grill?

Use a cooking oil with a high smoke point (e.g., refined sunflower oil). Avoid extra virgin olive oil which has a low smoke point (<180°C) and can damage the ceramic coating.

Can I grill frozen foods?

It is recommended to thaw completely frozen foods before grilling and dry them. This ensures even cooking and prevents the formation of acrylamide.

How to use the gratin position?

Place the food to be gratin on the grill and attach the top plate in gratin position (vertical). Set the temperature to a high value to gratin the top.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

To avoid any danger, the cord must only be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service, or similarly qualified personnel. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

Can I leave the appliance unattended while operating?

No, the appliance must be used under supervision at all times. After use, unplug it immediately. Never let children play with the appliance.

How to prevent acrylamide formation?

To limit acrylamide (a harmful substance), avoid blackening food and remove burnt residues. Only salt meat and fish after cooking and do not overheat cereal-based or potato-based foods.

The appliance emits an odor or smoke during first use, is this normal?

Yes, it's normal. Before first use, heat the grill three times empty at maximum temperature with the window open. Then let it cool and clean the plates. A slight odor or smoke may be emitted.

Can I use metal utensils on the plates?

No, do not use sharp, pointed, or metal utensils on the plates. Instead, use wooden or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick coating.

How to store the grill?

Let the appliance cool completely, then place it in the vertical position. Wind the power cord around its storage holder. Store it in a dry place out of dust.
