Keep the appliance and cable out of reach of children under 8.
Don’t connect the appliance via a timer or remote control system.
¬The surfaces of the appliance will get hot during use.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similar qualied person in order to
avoid a hazard.
Don’t connect the appliance via a timer or remote control system.
b Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels containing water.
• Always use the assembled grill on a stable, level, surface (patio rather than grass).
• Leave a space of at least 50mm all round the appliance.
• Don’t let people play near to or around the grill.
• Keep it well away from swimming/paddling pools, sprinklers and hoses.
• Food can burn. Don’t use the appliance near or below curtains or other combustible
materials and watch it while in use.
• Your grill is not a barbecue. Never try to use it with charcoal or similar materials.
• Don’t try to use the grill plate on its own. It must only be used with the assembled grill base.
• Don’t use the grill with any connector other than the one supplied.
Electrical Safety
• Route the cable (and extension cord if used) so it doesn’t overhang, can’t touch any hot
surfaces or can’t be tripped over or caught.
• Unwind the extension cord fully before use to prevent it overheating.
• If you use it outdoors, the extension cord must be suitable for outdoor use, and must be
kept dry.
• If you use the grill outdoors, you must connect to the supply socket via an RCD (residual
current device) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA. The RCD must
be connected directly to the supply socket (not at the end of the extension cord).
• The appliance must only be connected to a supply socket that has an earth connection.
• Check the cable and the extension cable for signs of damage before each use. If you nd
any damage, do not use the appliance.

ASSEMBLY
Assemble the grill according to gure 2. At step D, make sure the two notches in the short tube
engage with the two lugs inside the grill base otherwise you will not be able to fasten the clip.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.
• Your grill may smoke a little the rst time you use it. This is normal and will soon disappear.
USING YOUR GRILL
1. Place the lid on the grill plate.
2. Set the temperature control fully anticlockwise.
3. Plug the temperature control into the grill and then into the power socket or extension cord.
4. Turn the temperature control to the desired setting.
5. When the grill reaches the required temperature, the light will go out and will then cycle on
and o as the thermostat operates to regulate the temperature.
6. When nished, set temperature control fully anticlockwise and unplug your grill.
• Check it’s cooked. If you’re in doubt, cook it a bit more.
• Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Cook
sh till the esh is opaque throughout.
• Remove the cooked food with wooden or plastic tools.
• You can grill with the lid on or o. With the lid o you can see what’s happening and have
full control over the grilling process. With the lid in on you waste less heat and steam
building up inside will help cook the food faster.
• Take care when you remove the lid from escaping steam and moisture falling onto the grill
plate and spitting. Use oven gloves or similar protection.
• When necessary, use an oven glove and empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl. Wipe it
with kitchen paper then replace it.
COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY
Use these times purely as a guide. They’re for contact grilling fresh or fully defrosted food and
have been selected based on temperature setting 5. For more delicate foods, or if you prefer
food less crispy or more rare, select one of the lower settings. When cooking frozen foods, add

6
2-3 minutes for seafood, and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending on the thickness and
density of the food. If you prefer well-done/ crispy food or quicker cooking times select
temperature setting 4/5. When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package
or label.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Don’t put the grill plate in a dishwasher
• Don’t let the temperature control get wet
• Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
• Don’t use scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.
1. Unplug the grill and let it cool before cleaning and storing away.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth. Use a paper towel moistened with a little
cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.
3. Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water, or in the top rack of the dishwasher.
4. Take extra care with the non-stick cooking surfaces.
With use, the edges of the grill plate and the slots will lose their non-stick coatings. This is purely
cosmetic, and will not aect the operation of the grill.
