BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer foremost in mind.
In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.
THE USE OF ACCESSORY ATTACHMENTS NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER MAY CAUSE INJURIES.

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
ELECTRIC CORD STATEMENT
Your grill has a short cord as a safety precaution
to prevent personal injury or property damage
resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming
entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to
be near or use this appliance without close adult
supervision. If you must use a longer power cord
or an extension cord when using the appliance,
the cord must be arranged so it will not drape or
hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop or
surface area where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over. To prevent electric shock,
personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the
extension cord you use must be the same or
more than the wattage of the appliance (wattage
is marked on the underside of the appliance).
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTE: Your Breville appliance comes
with the unique Assist ™ Plug,
conveniently designed with a
finger hole in the power plug,
for easy and safe removal from
the outlet. For safety reasons it
is recommended you plug your
Breville appliance directly into
the power outlet. DO NOT use
in conjunction with a power
strip or extension cord.

USING THE ADJUSTABLE GRILLING HEIGHT
CONTROL FEATURE.
Your Indoor Grill and BBQ features an Adjustable
Grilling Height Control feature which allows you
to fix the top plate to a range of positions
above the base plate.
This allows your Indoor Grill and BBQ to be
used as an open toaster, ideal for toasting open
panini style ‘melts’. It can also be used to grill
delicate ingredients such as fish and hamburger
buns without squashing.
1. Allow the Indoor Grill and BBQ to preheat
until the red heating light goes out.
2.Place the food to be grilled on the
base plate.
3.Move the Adjustable Grill Control clip on the
right hand side of the Indoor Grill and BBQ to
the desired height (see Fig 5).
4.Slowly lower the top plate, using the levelling
handle on the top right-hand side of the
plate, until it rests in the appropriate position
above the food (see Fig 6).
5.The top plate will radiate the desired heat
to melt ingredients such as cheese or lightly
grill foods.
BASE PLATE TILT DIAL
1. To place the base plate into the sloped
position, simply turn the Base Plate Tilt Dial
anti-clockwise until the dial reaches the
‘Angle’ position. This position is suitable for
achieving the maximum fat drainage when
using the Indoor Grill and BBQ as a closed
grill.
2.To place the base plate into the flat position,
turn the Base Plate Tilt Dial clockwise until
the dial reaches the ‘Flat’ position. This
position is ideal for cooking sausages,
pancakes, eggs, etc when a flat plate is
required so that the foods do not run or slide
14 OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DIE CAST SERIES INDOOR GRILL AND BBQ
Note: The Adjustable Grill Height
Control can be moved to
accommodate thick or thin foods
by sliding the clip forwards or
backwards along the arm.

off the grill. It is important to use the flat
position when using the Indoor Grill and BBQ
as an open grill.
VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL
The Breville Indoor Grill and BBQ features a
Variable Temperature Control dial which allows
a variety of foods to be cooked. Just select a
temperature suited to the foods which are
being cooked.
With the dial set on ‘Sear’ the temperature is
correctly suited to grill meats or other foods.
With the dial set on ‘Panini’ the temperature is
correctly suited to toasting paninis.
15 MINUTE TIMER DIAL
The Breville Indoor Grill and BBQ features a 15
minute timer which allows you to monitor the
time elapsed during preheating or cooking. To
set the timer, simply turn the dial clockwise
completely to the ‘15’ position and then anti-
clockwise to select the desired minutes. The
timer will ring once when the desired time
has elapsed. The grill will not turn off, it will
remain heating.

HINTS FOR BEST GRILLING RESULTS
MEAT
For best grilling results use meat cuts which are
thick enough to touch the top and base plate
when the Indoor Grill and BBQ is closed.
RECOMMENDED CUTS
Beef Sirloin (New York), Rump, Rib Eye
(Scotch Fillet), Fillet.
Lamb Trim Lamb Leg Steaks, Fillet, Eye of
Loin, Cutlets and Diced Lamb.
Pork Butterfly Loin Steaks, Spare Ribs, Leg
Steaks, Fillets, Diced Pork.
Tougher cuts such as beef blade, topside steak,
lamb forequarter or neck chops can be used. To
tenderise these cuts marinate them for a few
hours or overnight in a marinade with wine or
vinegar to help break down the connective
tissue.
It is not recommended to cook items with thick
bones such as T-bone steaks.
Do not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw
out the juices toughening the meat.
If using a marinade recipe or pre-marinated
meats from your meat retailer, drain excess
marinade off and dab with kitchen paper before
placing on the Indoor Grill and BBQ. Some
marinades contain high sugar levels which can
scorch on the grill plate when cooked.
Do not over cook meat, some meats are better
served pink and juicy.
Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat
while cooking. This will let the juices escape,
resulting in a tougher, dry steak. Use tongs
instead.
When removing fish pieces, use a flat heat
resistant plastic spatula to support the food.
Parboiling sausages can alleviate the need to
pierce sausages before cooking.

Cleaning
BR7511 800GRXL Book Amend.qxp 30/1/06 10:35 AM Page 18

CARE AND CLEANING
19
Before cleaning, switch the grill off at the On/Off
button, switch off at the power outlet and
unplug. Allow your Indoor Grill and BBQ to cool
before cleaning. The appliance is easier to clean
when slightly warm.
Always clean your Indoor Grill and BBQ after each
use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods.
Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove
food residue. For baked on food residue
squeeze some warm water mixed with detergent
over the food residue then clean with a non
abrasive plastic scouring pad.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
Remove and empty the Drip Tray after each use
and wash the tray in warm, soapy water. Avoid
the use of scouring pads or harsh detergents as
they may damage the surface.
Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth
and replace.
QUANTANIUM SCRATCH RESISTANT COATING
The bottom plate of your Indoor Grill and BBQ
features a special scratch resistant non-stick
coating that makes it safe to use metal utensils
when cooking.
Regardless of this fact, Breville recommends that
care is taken with the non-stick coating
particularly when using metal utensils.
Do not use sharp objects or cut food inside the
Indoor Grill and BBQ. Breville will not be liable
for damage to the non-stick coating where metal
utensils have been misused.
Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the need
for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier.
Any discolouration that may occur will only
detract from the appearance of Indoor Grill and
BBQ and will not affect the cooking performance.
When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use
metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash in hot
soapy water. Remove stubborn residue with a
non abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon
washing brush.
CARE AND CLEANING
NOTE! The cooking plates are coated
with a non-stick surface, do not
use abrasives.
Do not use spray-on non-stick
coatings as this will affect the
performance of the non-stick
surface on the cooking plates.
WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF THE BREVILLE INDOOR GRILL AND BBQ IN WATER OR
ANY OTHER LIQUID.
