The contact grill can be used in three positions:
“Party grill” (fig. 7)
In this position the contact grill offers a large grilling surface for the preparation of all kinds of snacks,
such as shashlik, sate, vegetables, fruits etc.
- Set the temperature control to position 5 (fig. 9).
- Preheat the grill for about 15 minutes in closed position (fig. 9).
- Pull the hinges up to the highest position (fig. 10) and put the contact grill in the open position (fig.
11). Be careful: the grilling plates are hot!
- Spread the food on top of the grilling surface.
- Turn the food from time to time by means of wooden spatulas.
“Hotplate” (fig. 12)
Set the contact grill in the “party grill” position, cover the grilling plate with aluminium foil with the shiny
side facing upwards and set the temperature control to a low position (2 or 3). You have now
converted the contact grill into a thermostatically controlled hotplate which will automatically keep
your dishes at the required temperature.
“Contact grill” (fig. 13)
This position is especially suitable for intense and quick grilling (rump steaks, hamburgers etc.) and
for making toasted sandwiches.
- Set the temperature control to position 4 or 5 (fig. 14).
- Preheat the grill for about 15 minutes in closed position (fig. 15).
- Open the grill halfway (fig. 16).
- Put the food (meat, toasted sandwiches etc.) in the middle of the lower grilling plate (fig. 17).
- Lift the upper grilling plate slightly and then close the grill (fig. 18).
- The upper grilling plate now rests on the food, causing it to be grilled equally strong on both sides.
“Gratin grill” (fig. 19)
This is the ideal position for grilling and cooking au gratin at the same time.
The gratin position is also suitable for the preparation of all kinds of “open” toasts, e.g. with egg,
tomato, peppers and / or onion rings covered with cheese. However, it is not suitable for preparing
bread-crumbed dishes.
- Set the temperature control to position 5 (fig. 20).
- Preheat the grill for about 15 minutes in closed position (fig. 21).
- Open the grill halfway (fig. 22).
- Put the food in the middle of the lower grilling plate (fig. 23).
- Pull the upper grilling plate to its highest position (fig. 24).
- Put the upper grilling plate in horizontal position (fig. 25).
Note: the upper grilling plate should not be in contact with the food.
Frozen food (fig. 26)
You can also use this position to defrost frozen food. Wrap the frozen food in aluminium foil and set
the temperature control to a low position (3 or 4). The defrosting time depends on the weight of the
food.

In the table you will find a number of dishes you can prepare with the contact grill.
