HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
PARTS
1. Power light (red)
2. Thermostat light (green)
3. Grill plates
4. Drip tray
5. Foot (underneath)
6. Cord storage hooks (on foot)
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.
TILTING/LEVELLING THE GRILL
You can tilt your grill so that fat and juices run into the drip tray when cooking things like burgers, meat,
etc. Alternatively, you can use your grill level for cooking things like panini, sandwiches, etc.
To tilt your grill extend the foot upwards below your grill (FIG B). Fold the foot at again to level your grill.
USING YOUR GRILL
• Sit your grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from cupboards, curtains, etc.
• Slide the drip tray between the two runners underneath the front of your grill. Slide the tray all the
way in (FIG A). The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run o the plates during cooking.

1. Put the plug into the power socket. The power light will come on.
2. The grill plates will now start heating up.
3. When the thermostat light comes on your grill is at the correct cooking temperature.
4. The thermostat light will cycle on and o as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
5. Open your grill and carefully lay the food on the bottom grill plate. Close the grill.
6. When you have nished cooking unplug your grill.
• Check that the food is cooked. If you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.
• Always use an oven glove when opening or closing the grill, or placing or removing food.
• Use wooden or plastic utensils to prevent damage to the plates.
• The grill hinge is articulated to accommodate thick or oddly shaped foods.
• The grill plates should be roughly parallel to avoid uneven cooking.
• When necessary, use an oven glove and empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl. Wipe it with
kitchen paper then slide it back between the runners under the front of your grill.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug your grill and let it cool completely before cleaning or storing.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a paper towel with a dab of cooking oil to remove
stubborn stains.
3. Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher.
• Take extra care with the non-stick cooking surfaces. Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners, solvents,
scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.
• Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs of wear. This is
purely cosmetic, and will not aect the operation of the grill.
STORING
The unit may be stood vertically (on the hinged side) for storage.
COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY
The following times should be used purely as a guide. They are for fresh or fully defrosted food.
• When cooking frozen foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry
(depending on the thickness and density of the food).
• Check food is cooked through before serving. If 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.
• When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.
