Frequently Asked Questions - Compact 6928 OBH NORDICA

How do I preheat the griddle?

Plug the appliance into a wall socket. The red indicator light turns on. Turn the temperature control to the desired setting (1-5). Once heated, the green indicator light comes on, indicating it is ready to use.

Can I use metal utensils on the grill plates?

No, do not use metal utensils as they will damage the non-stick coating. Use plastic or heat-resistant plastic utensils instead.

How should I clean the griddle?

For even grilling, it is best not to grill pieces thicker than 2 cm. This ensures perfect results.

Before use

• Remove the grill from the packaging.
• Clean the grill plates as described under "Cleaning and maintenance".
• Grease the grill plates with a little cooking oil before use.
• Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
• Place the appliance on a flat, heat-resistant surface.

Use

1. Plug the appliance into a wall socket. The red indicator light comes on.
2. Turn the temperature control to the required setting 1-5. Some ingredients require a lower temperature and longer cooking time while others are best cooked at a high temperature for a shorter time. The results will also vary depending on your individual taste. Experiment to see which setting best suits what you are cooking and keep an eye on the results during the cooking process. See also the grilling table below.
3. Once the appliance has finished heating up, the green indicator light will come on and the red indicator light will go out. The grill is now ready to use. NB! You may get a smell of smoke when the appliance heats up for the first time. This is perfectly normal.

NOTE! The indicator lights will go on and off during use. This indicates that the heating element is maintaining the optimum grill temperature.

Warning! The steam from the grill is very hot, particularly when you open the lid!

Place the ingredients on the grill plates and close the lid. Do not place too many ingredients on the grill plates at a time, as this will affect the grilling results and prolong the cooking time. Check the results after a few minutes.

If you want to grill thicker ingredients, raise the top grill plate by lifting the handle slightly and pulling the knob on the right side to setting 1-3.

Use an oven glove or pot holder when opening the lid. If you are not satisfied with the results, close the lid again and continue grilling.

Once you have finished grilling, lift the ingredients off the grill using a plastic utensil (heat resistant). Do not use metal utensils, as this will damage the non-stick coating on the grill plates. Unplug the appliance. Do not leave it plugged in when it is empty.

Do not cut into the ingredients when they are on the grill, as this may damage the coating.

Tips before grilling

For optimum results:

• Always preheat the grill.
• Only grill boneless fish, meat and pork for more even grilling results.
• Do not put too much filling in the sandwiches.
- Marinate ingredients and leave them in the fridge for at least 1 hour before grilling.
- Brush vegetables with oil for even grilling.
- Check the drip tray regularly to ensure that it does not overflow.

Cleaning and maintenance

• Always unplug the grill before cleaning and allow it to cool.
- Never submerge the grill or cord in water or other liquid.
- Scrape food residues off the plates using the cleaning scraper provided. Never use metal utensils.
- Clean the plates with a damp sponge and a little washing-up liquid. Make sure to remove all residues of washing-up liquid and dry with a dry cloth.
• Empty the drip tray and wash it before replacing it.
- Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
- Make sure the grill is completely dry before putting it away.

When is the food ready?

Lightly-grilled meat - the meat "springs" back when you press it. It feels springy.

Medium-grilled meat - the meat is slow to "spring" back when you press it.

Well-grilled meat - meat is firm and does not "spring" back when you press it.

Chicken - pierce a hole in the meat with a fork. The meat juices should be completely free of blood once the chicken is ready.

NB! Remove the meat from the grill before cutting it into pieces to avoid scratching the coating.

Grilled fish - ready when the fish easily separates.

Marinating

Make a few incisions in the meat so that it can more easily absorb the marinade.

Always use a container (non-metal) or a plastic bag to mix the marinade with the raw ingredients.

Marinate the ingredients at least 1 hour before grilling.

The longer you marinate, the more tasty and tender the food will be. Fish requires a shorter marinating time than meat.

Discarding used equipment

By law electrical and electronic equipment must be collected for recycling of components. Electrical and electronic equipment marked with the waste management symbol must be disposed of at a municipal recycling point.
