USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all packaging and labels from the plate. Before
throwing the packing material away, make sure you have
removed all parts of the new appliance. We recommend you
keep the box and packing to re-use in the future.
Please note: Before use, clean the base, cover and
dials with a damp cloth to remove dust accumulated during
transport.
Clean the cooking plates, grease tray and cleaning tool
thoroughly. The plates, grease tray and spatula are
dishwasher safe.
Please note: The rst time you use the appliance, it
may give o a slight odor and a little smoke. This is normal
and common to all appliances with non-stick surfaces. The
appliance is supplied with a cleaning tool to clean the plates
when the appliance has completely cooled down after use
(after at least 30 minutes). The cleaning tool can be used
during cooking for a few seconds to remove residual food and
oil. If you use the tool for a long time on plates which are still
hot, the plastic may melt.
Please note: the removable grill plates (grill and
griddle) are fully interchangeable on the appliance.
Inserting the cooking plates
- Place the appliance in the at position (see gure 1).
Insert one plate at a time.
- Each plate can be inserted in either the top or bottom
housing (see gure 2).

23
To remove the plates
Place the appliance in the at position.
Identify the plate release buttons (3) on the right side. Press
the button decisively to eject the plate from the base. Hold
the plate with both hands, slide it along the metal supports
and remove it from the base. Press the other release button
to remove the second plate, following the same operations.
Danger of burns!! Remove or change the cooking
plates when the appliance has cooled down.
Positioning the grease tray
During cooking, the grease tray must be inserted in its
housing on the back of the appliance. The grease coming
from the food is drained towards the hole in the plate and
gathered in the tray.
Please note: During cooking, check the grease tray
frequently and pull out to avoid excess liquid grease.
After cooking, dispose of the grease collected appropriately.
The grease tray is dishwasher safe.
Important! Pay attention during cooking.
To open the appliance, hold the handgrip which remains
cold. The die-cast aluminum parts become very hot, avoid
touching them during and immediately after cooking.
Before performing any operation on the appliance, leave to
cool down for at least 30 minutes.
Cook only with the grease tray in place. Do not empty the
grease tray until the appliance is completely cool. Take care
when pulling out the grease tray in order to avoid spilling the
liquid.
COOKING POSITIONS
Contact grill (closed position)
- The upper plate rests on the lower plate. This is the
starting position and also one of the cooking positions
when the appliance is used as a contact grill. The cover
automatically adjusts to the thickness of the food on the
plate.
The food will thus be cooked evenly on both sides.
The contact grill is ideal for cooking hamburgers,
deboned meat and thin meat slices, vegetables and
sandwiches.The“contact”function is perfect to prepare
food rapidly and healthily. When you use the contact
grill, the food cooks quickly as it is in contact with the
plates on both sides at once (see gure 3).
The grease from the food is drained and collected by
the grooves on the plate and the hole at the back and is
collected in the grease tray.
The appliance has a special handgrip and hinge
allowing the upper plate to be adjusted according to the
thickness of the food. If you want to cook a number of
dierent types of food simultaneously using the contact
grill, the various foods should have the same thickness
to allow the cover to be closed evenly.
Open Grill
- The upper plate is level with the lower plate. The lower
and upper plates are both at the same level, forming a
large cooking surface. In this position, the appliance can
be used in barbecue mode with either the grill plate or
the griddle plate.To place the appliance in this position,
rst identify the hinge release lever on the right. Hold
the handgrip with the left hand and with the right, slide
the release lever upwards (see gure 4).
Push the handgrip backwards until the cover rests
upside down in the at position (see gure 5).
CLICK

24
Lifting the handgrip slightly before pulling the release
lever lightens pressure on the hinge and facilitates the
operation.The appliance can be used as a grill/barbecue
to prepare hamburgers, steak, chicken and sh. The
grill/barbecue mode is the most versatile. The grill
plates are in the open position, doubling the cooking
surface (see gure 6).
You can prepare a number of dierent foods on the
separate plates without mixing the avors, or cook more
of the same food.
The grill/barbecue position can be used to grill cuts of
meat with dierent thicknesses, each with the preferred
level of cooking. In this position, you need to turn the
food during cooking.
- The appliance can also be used as a griddle/barbecue
plate to prepare pancakes, eggs, cheese, fritters and
bacon and sausages for breakfast (see gure 7).
The large cooking surface enables a number of dierent
foods to be prepared simultaneously, or to cook more of
the same food.
Oven Grill
This position (see gure 8) is suitable for grilling without
contact thick foodstus that need to be roasted slowly and
uniformly.
It is ideal for preparing vegetables with high water content,
so the water can evaporate.
You can also use this hot plate position to prepare soft
sandwiches and foods which do not require pressing.
- Place the food on the lower plate.
- Bring the upper plate near the food, holding the handle
(g. A).
- Turn the height adjustment knob (6) to (g. B).
- The upper plate is locked in position.
There are 4 positions of height regulation.
- Lifting the upper plate further will automatically release
the regulation system (g. C).

25
- Once the height is set, further adjustments are possible
by pulling the knob out and setting a new position (g.
D).
USE
Operation
When the appliance has been prepared correctly and you are
ready to cook, you can set a temperature from 60°C to 230°C
for each grill plate (upper and lower) independently (using
the thermostat dials 12 and 14).

turn o automatically after 90 minutes of operation.
Sear function
This feature heats the upper and/or lower plates to a higher
temperature for a few minutes. It is ideal for quickly searing
foods at the beginning of cooking (ideal for thick meat).

immediately. The cycle is complete in a few minutes, and
"sear" disappears from the display.
Please note: This function can be used once only
in every 30 minutes. After the cycle, if you press the sear
function within 30 minutes, "sear" will ash on the display,
then go o.The operation cannot be set on the control.
Wae mode (certain models only)
- Insert the wae plates (15c/15d) as show in g.1.
