Seasoning the Cooking Surfaces
The cooking plate surfaces need to be ‘seasoned’
before using for the first time.
1. Ensure the cooking surfaces are clean.
2. Brush the surfaces with cooking oil.
3. Set the thermostat(s) to 110°C and turn the
appliance On. The power indicator light turns
on.
4. Once the appliance reaches temperature the
power indicator light turns off.
5. Turn the appliance Off and allow it to cool
before wiping away any excess oil.
6. The appliance is now ready to use.
Cooking
1. Close the plates.
• Note: It may be necessary to slightly
grease the plates with cooking oil before
cooking depending on the foodstuff.
2. Set the thermostat(s) to the desired
temperature (60°C-300°C) and turn the
appliance On. The power indicator light(s) turn
on.
• Note: 200°C to 220°C is suitable for
general cooking.
3. The power indicator light(s) turn Off when the
appliance has reached the set temperature.
4. Lift the top plate and place the foodstuff on
the bottom plate.
5. Lower the top plate.
Note: All Apuro Contact Grills
feature counter-balanced top
plates that allow for even
cooking.
Note: With the new treatment
for the flat plates, the surfaces
now are smoother and thus
better for cooking and cleaning.
Whereas, the initial surfaces
may appear to have ribbed
markings with the first time use.
After several hours of cooking,
such markings will start to
fade/disappear.
Adjusting Top Plate Tension
Use the Allen key supplied to adjust the tension
of the top plate. Turn clockwise to tighten, anti-
clockwise to loosen.
Note: It is possible to tighten
the plate so that it sits in the
open position (if required).
Apuro recommend the appliance is disconnected
from the power supply and allowed to cool before
any adjustments are made.

from 1 second to 15 minutes. The timer provides
an audible alarm after the set time expires. It
provides no electrical control over the unit.
• START/STOP: Press START/STOP to start
timer, press again to stop. The timer will
provide an audible alarm after the set time.
The alarm will beep 10 times and the display
will continue to flash until timer is reset (press

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will begin to carbonise into a hard substance that is extremely
difficult to remove. To prevent this, follow the cleaning steps below:
• Always turn OFF the appliance and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
• Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning, but for best results clean the plates when they are still
slightly warm.
• Use warm, soapy water and a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the appliance.
• Take care when using scrapers to remove cooking residues as they can damage the cooking surface.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• An Apuro dealer or qualified technician should carry out repairs if required.
Scraping
• After each use, scrape the appliance with a scraper/grill stone/copper brush or flexible spatula to
remove excess fat and food. A waste tray is provided for the scrapings if necessary.
• If there is an accumulation of burned fat or food, the cooking surface should be thoroughly scoured
and re-seasoned.
Note: It is vital that the cooking surface is re-seasoned after scouring.
Warning: Do not use steel wool as it may leave shards that could Contaminate food.
Waste tray
• This appliance features a waste tray to collect any liquid or fats that run off during cooking
• At least once a day, remove and empty the waste tray before washing with warm, soapy water.
• Do not allow the tray to overfill, or excess grease will run out of the overflow hole at the front of the
tray.
Warning: Do not remove the tray during or immediately after use as the contents will be
hot.
