Instructions for Use
The Griddle & Grill is a really versatile piece of kitchen equipment. It can be used in
different ways depending on the food you are cooking.
It is supplied with two sets of plates, the ribbed grill plates are ideal for steaks, kebabs and
Paninis, the flat griddle plates are great for pancakes, eggs and French toast.
You can use both grill plates together, both griddle plates together or a combination of
one grill plate and one griddle plate.
To fit the plates:
To fit the plates:
1. Ensure the product is switched off and disconnected from the electric supply.
2. Select the plates you intend to use for cooking.
3. Position the Griddle & Grill so that the controls are facing towards you. Lift the handle
to open the grill.
4. Align the two plate locating legs at the back of the plate (See Fig. 1) with the brackets

Selecting the cooking position
Once you have fitted the cooking plates you intend to use, you need to select the cooking
position.
Fully open position
The Griddle & Grill can be used in the fully open position to
create a double cooking surface.
To adjust the Griddle & Grill to the fully open position, lift the handle using one hand, then
use the other hand to push the hinge release lever located on the right side of the product
upwards. As you do this, push the handle back, until it is resting on the work surface and
the upper and lower plates are level.
Half Open Position
The Griddle & Grill can be used in the half open position. To
adjust the appliance to this position, simply lift the handle
until it comes into the fully upright position and clicks into
place. The unit will stay in this position until you close the
cover or continue to open it to the fully open position, using
the hinge release lever.
Closed Position
The Griddle & Grill can be used in the closed position as a
contact grill/panini press and is ideal for quick cooking as the
heat comes from both sides of the plates. The floating hinge
design means that the space between the top and bottom
plate adjusts to the thickness of your food. When cooking
more than one item at a time, try to ensure the thickness of
the food is consistent to ensure even cooking for each piece
of food.
To achieve this position simply place food on the bottom plate, place your left hand on
the handle, use your right hand to tap the top of the grill using light pressure until the lid
is level with the base unit and is resting on your food. You can apply light pressure using
the handle to press whilst cooking to lock in flavour.

11
Using the integrated drip tray
The Griddle & Grill has a clever fat drainage system. Fat is drained via a small recess at the
rear of the plates, allowing fat and grease to drip down into the integrated tray.
To insert the drip tray, insert it into the slot on the right side of the lower housing, the
edge of the drip tray with the curved shape should be inserted first.
To remove the drip tray, simply slide the tray out of the slot. Grease should be disposed of
safely after cooking. The drip tray can be washed in the dishwasher.
Cooking with the Griddle & Grill
Once the plates and drip try are fitted and the cooking position has been selected, you are
ready to start cooking with the Griddle & Grill.
1. Ensure the unit is plugged into the mains power supply.
2. Select the required temperature using the temperature dial. The red light will illuminate
to indicate the grill is on and is heating up. When the Griddle & Grill reaches the
required temperature the green light will illuminate.
3. Set the timer dial once you have placed the ingredients to be cooked on the grill.
NOTE: The timer does not switch the Griddle and Grill off when the timer countdown is
complete. It will make an audible sound when the timer reaches the end.
4. The green light will continue to turn on and off as the thermostat monitors the
temperature during cooking. This is normal.
N.B The first time you use the appliance, it may have a slight odour and may smoke
a little. This is normal and common to appliances with a non-stick surface.
Use wooden or heatproof plastic utensils only. Never leave plastic utensils in contact with
the hot grill plate.
In between recipes, scrape excess food build-up through the grease channel and into the
drip tray, then wipe off any residue with a paper towel before proceeding with the next
recipe.
When you have finished cooking, turn the temperature dial to zero and unplug the
power cord from the mains. Allow the appliance to cool completely before handling. The
following table is provided as a guide only to help you with cooking. The cooking guide
provides suggested cooking times for contact grilling fresh food. Cooking times may vary
depending on overall thickness and density of food. Cook poultry and meat until juices run
clear, cook fish until flesh is opaque throughout. Ensure food is thoroughly cooked before
serving. Please also see the recipes in the booklet included..

Cleaning & Maintenance
Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
Once you have finished cooking, turn the temperature control to the zero (0) position and
unplug the power cord from the mains.
Allow the appliance to cool completely before handling.
When cold use the scraper to remove any leftover food from the cooking plates. The
scraper can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
Dispose of grease from the drip tray. The drip tray can be cleaned by hand or in the
dishwasher.
The cooking plates can be washed by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not
use metallic objects such as knives when cleaning. This will damage the non-stick coating.
If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the cooking plate with lemon juice to prevent
seafood flavour transferring to the next recipe.
The housing base cover and control knobs can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. For
tough stains dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner or harsh pad.
Never immerse the plug, lead or housing base in water or any other liquid.
Make sure all the parts are clean and dry before storing.
Never wrap the cord around the outside of the grill.
