BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.
Your grill may smoke a little the first time you use it. This is normal and will soon
disappear.
ASSEMBLY
• Align the control panel with the connections on
the base unit and push the parts together until the
control panel inserted all the way (Fig. A).
• Slide the drip tray under the front of your grill. Slide
the tray all the way in. The drip tray will collect any
fat or juices that run off the plates during cooking.
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. The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run off the plates
during cooking.
• Put the plug into the power socket. The power light will come on.
• The grill plates will now start heating up.
• When the green thermostat light comes on your grill is at the correct cooking
temperature.
• The light will cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
• Open your grill and carefully lay the food on the bottom grill plate. Use a spatula or
tongs.
• Close the grill.
• When you have finished 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.
• 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 replace it under the front of your grill.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Unplug your grill and let it cool completely before cleaning or storing.
1. Once the grill has fully cooled, push the control
panel away from the base unit using your
thumbs as shown (Fig. B).

2. Once the control panel has been removed, the
grill top and bottom can be separated to aid in
cleaning (Fig. C).
3. Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth. DO
NOT immerse the control panel in water or any
other liquid.
4. Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a paper towel with a dab of
cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.
5. Wash the grill top, grill bottom and drip tray in warm soapy water.
• 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 affect the operation of the grill.
Cleaning in a Dishwasher
The grill top, grill bottom and drip tray can be washed in a dishwasher.
• Place the grill top and bottom in the lower part of the dishwasher.
• Place the drip tray in the top rack of the dishwasher.
STORING
• The unit may be stood vertically (on the hinged side) for storage.
Legislation in some localities mandates that e-waste (anything with a plug, battery or
cord) is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in
general household waste. For more information about recycling of electrical and battery
operated appliances, please contact your local council or your local household waste
disposal service.
