2. Display
3. Timer button

4. Grill plates

5. Handles/release catch

6. Drip tray
7. Latch
8. Switch

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.
• Your grill may smoke a little the first time you use it. This is normal and will soon disappear.

PREPARATION

• Sit your grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
• Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, so it catches any run-off.

• Pull out the latches to unlock the grill.

• Put the plug into the power socket.

• Set the switch to the I position. The thermostat light will come on and the display will show ON.

• The thermostat light will cycle on and off as the thermostat operates.
• When the thermostat light goes off your grill is at the correct cooking temperature.

CONTACT GRILLING

Contact grilling tends to be faster because both plates are in contact with the food.

1. Place the food onto the lower plate using a spatula or tongs.

2. Close the grill.

3. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.

4. The grill plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.

RACLETTE GRILLING

Raclette grilling tends to be slower because the top plate is raised above the food but it has the advantage that you can grill things that would normally become squashed by the plates.

1. Open the grill 90 degrees (Fig A).
2. Lift the lid upwards until it will go no further (Fig B).
3. Pull the lid forward as you lower it to leave a gap between the grill plates (Fig C).

GENERAL

When you have finished cooking, set the switch to O and unplug the grill.

• Check the food is cooked. If you're in doubt, cook it for a little while longer.
• Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.
• Remove the cooked food with wooden or plastic tools.

USING THE TIMER

IMPORTANT: The timer only sounds an alert. It DOES NOT switch off your grill.
1. Use the timer button to set the time you want. The range is 0 to 20 minutes.
2. Once set, the timer will count down then beep 4 times.
3. The display will then show ON to remind you that your grill is still cooking.

FITTING AND REMOVING PLATES

Allow you grill to fully cool before removing or refitting the plates. Remove or fit one plate at a time.

1. Grip the handles and slide the catch on each handle marked RELEASE outwards.

2. Lift the plate off the grill.

To refit the plates:

1. Hold the handles and slide the catches outwards and hold them there.
2. Position the plate onto the grill then release the catches.

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

The following times should be used purely as a guide. They are 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.
