FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - CG 4001 DELONGHI

Comment nettoyer les plaques du gril ?

Avant tout nettoyage, débranchez l'appareil et laissez-le refroidir complètement. Utilisez les pattes de déverrouillage (G) pour retirer les plaques. Lavez-les à l'eau chaude ou au lave-vaisselle. Pour les résidus tenaces, laissez tremper les plaques dans de l'eau chaude quelques minutes. N'utilisez jamais d'ustensiles métalliques ou de produits abrasifs qui pourraient endommager le revêtement antiadhésif. Replacez les plaques seulement lorsqu'elles sont propres et parfaitement sèches.

Que faire si le voyant lumineux ne s'éteint pas ?

Le voyant lumineux (B) indique que le gril chauffe. Il s'éteint lorsque la température réglée est atteinte. Si le voyant reste allumé en permanence, vérifiez que le thermostat (C) est correctement positionné. Si le problème persiste, l'appareil pourrait nécessiter une réparation. Contactez un service agréé pour faire vérifier le thermostat ou le circuit de régulation.

Puis-je utiliser des ustensiles métalliques sur les plaques ?

Non, il est strictement déconseillé d'utiliser des ustensiles métalliques ou tranchants sur les plaques, car ils peuvent rayer et endommager le revêtement antiadhésif. Utilisez de préférence des spatules en bois, en silicone ou en plastique résistant à la chaleur pour préserver la durée de vie des plaques.

Comment utiliser le gril pour la première fois ?

Avant la première utilisation, pour éliminer l'odeur de neuf, faites fonctionner l'appareil en position barbecue (position 3) sans aliments pendant au moins 5 minutes. Assurez-vous de bien aérer la pièce pendant cette opération. Laissez refroidir, puis nettoyez les plaques comme indiqué dans la notice.

Quels sont les temps de cuisson recommandés pour un steak ?

Pour un steak de bœuf saignant, réglez le thermostat sur MED et utilisez la position 1 (contact). Le temps de cuisson est d'environ 2 à 3 minutes. Pour une cuisson plus avancée, augmentez le temps ou la température. Consultez le tableau de cuisson dans la notice pour d'autres aliments.

Le gril peut-il être utilisé en position barbecue ?

Oui, le gril CG 4001 peut être utilisé en position barbecue (position 3). Pour cela, ouvrez complètement l'appareil de manière à avoir deux plaques horizontales. Cette position est idéale pour tous types de cuisson sauf la pizza. Utilisez le thermostat pour régler la température selon l'aliment.

Est-il possible de cuire des aliments congelés directement ?

Il est recommandé de décongeler ou d'essuyer les aliments marinés avant de les placer sur les plaques pour éviter une cuisson inégale et des projections. Si vous utilisez des aliments congelés, augmentez le temps de cuisson et vérifiez la cuisson à cœur.

Comment ranger l'appareil après utilisation ?

Laissez l'appareil refroidir complètement avant de le ranger. Nettoyez les plaques et le plateau d'égouttage. Enroulez le cordon d'alimentation sans le plier. Rangez l'appareil dans un endroit sec, hors de portée des enfants. Ne rangez jamais l'appareil tant qu'il est encore chaud.

Que faire si le cordon d'alimentation est endommagé ?

Si le cordon d'alimentation est endommagé, il doit être remplacé par le fabricant, son service après-vente ou un technicien qualifié afin d'éviter tout danger. N'utilisez pas l'appareil avec un cordon endommagé. Débranchez immédiatement et contactez un service agréé.

Les plaques sont-elles compatibles lave-vaisselle ?

Oui, les plaques amovibles peuvent être lavées au lave-vaisselle. Veillez à les placer de manière à ce qu'elles ne soient pas en contact avec d'autres objets susceptibles de les rayer. Séchez-les soigneusement avant de les remettre en place. Le plateau d'égouttage peut également être lavé au lave-vaisselle.

INSTALLATION

• Before use, make sure the appliance has not been damaged during transport.
• Install the appliance on a horizontal surface out of reach of children as certain parts of the grill become extremely hot during use.

• Before plugging into the mains, make sure that:

• the mains voltage corresponds to the value V indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance;

• the mains socket has a minimum rating of 10A;
• the plug is suitable for the socket. If this is

not the case, have the plug replaced.

• the plug is efficiently earthed. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage deriving from failure to observe this safety rule.

• To eliminate the "new" smell when using the appliance for the first time, operate it open in the barbecue position (see page 3, position 3) without food for at least five minutes. During this operation, ventilate the room.

Your appliance is designed for use in one of three positions:

C O N T A C T

Ideal for meat, vegetables, polenta and sandwiches (position one, page 3).

TO BROWN

Ideal for fish and pizza (position 2, page 3). To use the grill in this position, lift the top section of the appliance upwards with one hand and rotate towards you, while holding the appliance still by gripping the drip tray handle with the other hand.

GRILL BARBECUE

Use this position for all types of cooking with the exception of pizza (position 3, page 3). To obtain this position open the steak grill completely.

USE (MOD.CG4001)

• Make sure the drip tray is positioned correctly.
• Plug into the mains socket and adjust the thermostat (C) to the required position (MIN/MED/MAX). The indicator light (B) comes on. Pre-heat the appliance with the grill plates closed.
• When the appliance has reached the required temperature, the indicator light goes out.
• Place the food to be grilled on the grill plates.
• Place the appliance in one of the three available positions: 1, 2 or 3.
• To turn the appliance off, rotate the thermostat knob anticlockwise as far as it will go.
• After cooking, unplug the appliance and leave to cool.

Never touch the plates with sharp utensils to avoid damaging the coating.

USE (MOD. CG6001/6601)

• Make sure the drip tray is positioned correctly.
• Plug in and adjust the two thermostats (bottom plate and top plate) to the required position according to the food to be grilled (see table). Procedures for preheating the appliance vary depending on the position of the plates: Positions 1/2: preheat the plates in the closed position until the thermostats trip; Position 3: preheat the plates in the open position until each of the two thermostats trips. When the appliance is used in position 1, you are recommended to adjust the thermostat to Max to ensure even cooking;
• When both two plates have reached the required

temperature, the corresponding indicator light goes out;

• Place the food to be grilled on the grill plates.
• To turn the appliance off, rotate the two thermostat knobs anticlockwise as far as it will go.
• After cooking, unplug the appliance and leave to cool.
• To keep previously grilled food hot (with the appliance in position 3), place the top plate thermostat in the "K" position and rest the food on the top plate.

COOKING TIPS

• Model CG6601 only: the plates have a smooth side to cook eggs, bacon and toast and a ribbed side for grilling. You can choose the most suitable side for cooking by simply unhooking the plates and re-attaching them on the required side making sure the fat drainage guides are towards the inside (fig. 1).
• Dry defrosted or marinated food before placing on the grill plates.
• Add herbs and spices to the meat before cooking, salt on serving.
• When using the "contact" position, the pieces to be grilled should be of the same thickness to ensure more even cooking.
• When cooking fish, the plate the fish rests on (I) must always be oiled.
• Some examples of how to use your steak grill are given below. The times given in the following table are indicative only. They may vary according to the characteristics of the food (initial temperature, water content) and individual tastes.

CLEANING

• Before cleaning the appliance, always unplug from the mains socket and allow to cool.
• Cleaning the grill every time you use it avoids smoke and unpleasant smell the next time you cook.
• Using the catches (G), the grill plates can be removed and washed in hot water or a dishwasher.
• Leave the grill plates to soak in hot water for a few minutes to soften any solid residues left after cooking.
• Never use utensils or abrasive cleaning products as these could damage or scratch the special non-stick coating.
• Replace the grill plates in the appliance only when clean and perfectly dry, making sure they are firmly fixed in place.
• To empty or clean the drip tray, remove by pul

ling the handle outwards. To replace, perform this operation in reverse, pushing it in as far as it will go.
