Frequently Asked Questions - TT-BBQ5 TurboTronic

How do I preheat the TurboTronic TT-BBQ5 contact grill?

Plug in the grill and set the thermostat to your desired temperature. The indicator light will illuminate until the grill reaches the set temperature, then turn off. Wait for the light to cycle off and on to ensure even heating.

What is the maximum thickness of food I can cook?

The floating hinge allows cooking food up to 4 cm (1.5 inches) thick. For thicker items, use the grill in an open position as a griddle.

Can I use metal utensils on the cooking plates?

No, avoid metal utensils as they can damage the non-stick coating. Use silicone, wood, or plastic utensils instead.

How do I clean the drip tray?

Remove the drip tray after the grill cools down. Wash it with warm soapy water or place it in the dishwasher (top rack). Dry thoroughly before reinserting.

Why does the grill smoke during first use?

A slight smoke or odor is normal during initial use as the protective coating from manufacturing burns off. Run the grill at maximum temperature for 10 minutes without food, then wipe the plates with a damp cloth.

Does the grill have an automatic shut-off?

Yes, the TT-BBQ5 features an automatic shut-off function that turns off the grill after 30 minutes of inactivity, ensuring safety.

Can I grill vegetables and fruits?

Absolutely. The non-stick surface is ideal for grilling vegetables like zucchini, peppers, and even fruits like pineapple slices. Adjust temperature to medium for best results.

What should I do if the power cord gets damaged?

Stop using the grill immediately. The cord is user-replaceable; order a replacement from TurboTronic or contact support for instructions. Do not attempt to repair it yourself if not qualified.

How do I store the grill?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Wrap the cord around the built-in cord wrap at the base. Store upright to save space, ensuring the plates are clean and dry.

Can I use the grill to make panini?

Yes, the TT-BBQ5 is designed for panini and sandwiches. The floating hinge adjusts to the thickness of the bread while applying even pressure for perfect results.

Before using the appliance for the first time

- Remove all the packaging materials and wash the grill plate, grease collecting cup and metal cover thoroughly. The grill plate and the grease collecting cup are both dishwashers safe.

Important: Dry all the different parts thoroughly. This applies especially to the appliance socket. Never immerse the detachable temperature regulator in water.

- Heat the grill to its maximum setting for about 3-5 minutes, with the metal cover closed and without putting any food on it. Residues left from the manufacturing process may cause some smell and smoke when the appliance is used for the first time.

Operating the appliance

• Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply.
• Set the temperature regulator to the required temperature level (it usually takes about 3 minutes to heat up).
• The temperature indicator lamp will go out as soon as the required temperature has been reached.
• Place the food to be grilled on the grill plate.

Cooking times

The following are recommended cooking times. Different times will be required for different weights and sizes of foods to be grilled, and depending on whether you are grilling with or without the metal cover.

Food to be grilled	Temperature grade setting	Cooking time
Steak/beef	5	15-20 mins
Lamb	5	12-18 mins
Chicken drumsticks	5	25-30 mins
Chops	5	20-25 mins
Chicken wings	5	15-20 mins
Fillet of pork	4-5	9-10 mins
Whole fish	5	12-15 mins
Kebabs	3-4	10-12 mins
Various sausages	3-4	12-15 mins

Tips for grilling

• Your meat will be tendered if you marinade it overnight before cooking (the marinade is always made of oil (to and moistness), vinegar (to tenderize) and a mixture of seasonings).
• Always use tongs or some form of scoop to turn the grilled food (using a fork to turn the food will dry it out and damage the non-stick coating).
• Only turn meat and fish once during grilling. You do not need to turn it more than once and too much turning dries food out.
• Never cook meat for too long. Even pork is better if it is served when it is still somewhat pink and juicy.

- If cooked food sticks to the grill plate, rub the plate with a piece of kitchen paper soaked in oil from time to time.

Cleaning and looking after the appliance

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply.
• Allow the grill to cool completely.
  Take the detachable temperature regulator out of the appliance socket.
• Wash the grill plate and fat collecting bowl with hot washing-up water (they are dishwasher safe). Do not use steel wool pads or abrasives.
• Wipe the base of the appliance with a damp cloth. Fat splashes can be removed with a mild cleaning agent.

Note:

• The grill plate has a non-stick coating. Do not scratch this coating during either the grilling or the cleaning stages.
• Tip: Use a washing-up brush with plastic bristles to clean the grill plate.

Protect the appliance from dust and dirt if it is not to be used for a prolonged length of time (wrap it in a plastic bag). Store it in a dry place.
