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.

Au gratin dishes (Fig. 2c)

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.

Preparation

■ Position the contact grill according to the cooking method.
■ Insert grill plates with the coated side towards the food.
■ Place the fat collecting cup under the fat drain.
■ Close the appliance and select the required temperature using the rotary knob.
■ The indicator light lights up. This extinguishes as soon as the set temperature has been reached.
■ Now place the food on the grill.
■ The cooking time depends on the thickness and size of the food.

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