How to tilt the grill to drain fat?

Stretch up the leg located under the grill (see figure A). To flatten, fold the leg back. The drip tray must be centered under the front of the grill.

PARTS

1. Power light (red)
2. Thermostat light (green)

3. Grill plates

4. Drip tray

5. Foot (underneath)
6. Cord storage hooks (on foot)

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.

TILTING/LEVELLING THE GRILL

You can tilt your grill so that fat and juices run into the drip tray when cooking things like burgers, meat, etc. Alternatively, you can use your grill level for cooking things like panini, sandwiches, etc.

To tilt your grill extend the foot upwards below your grill (FIG A). Fold the foot flat again to level your grill.

USING YOUR GRILL

• 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.

• Put the plug into the power socket. The power light will come on.

• The grill plates will now start heating up.
• When the thermostat light comes on your grill is at the correct cooking temperature.
• The thermostat light will cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
• Open your grill and carefully lay the food on the bottom grill plate. Close the grill.

• When you have finished cooking unplug your grill.

• Check it's cooked. If you're in doubt, cook it a bit more.

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

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.

STORING

The unit may be stood vertically (on the hinged side) for storage.
