BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL
• Remove any packaging and labels from the appliance.
• Wipe the exterior and cooking plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
• Place the grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, in a well ventilated area, with
the lid closed.
• Plug the power cord into a wall power outlet and switch the outlet on.
• Press the ON button
• The grill will heat to 175 degrees (default temperature), when the grill reaches
operating temperature, the grill will emit 3 beeps and the LED will ash and change
to green.
Note: When using your grill for the rst time, the unit may emit a ne smoke
vapour and scent. This is normal and is caused by the rst heating of the new
elements and new cooking plates.
• Press the on/off button, switch the power off at the wall power outlet, allow the grill
to cool then wipe over the cooking plates once again using a damp cloth.
• Select the sear function and allow the unit to nish cycle - the light will turn green
and you will hear three beeps.
FLAT FOR SANDWICHES OR TILTED FOR GRILLING?
• You may raise the rear foot to tilt the grill and speed the ow of fat into the drip tray,
or leave it at to prevent llings such as melting cheese moving towards the front of
the grill (FIG A).
• Grill meat, burgers, anything that exudes fat, on the tilt.
• Grill sandwiches, panini, foods with uid llings like melting cheese, on the at.
• Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, to catch run-off.

BASIC GRILLING
Use the basic grilling function for simple grilling, panini, sandwiches, etc.
• 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 (FIG
B). Slide the tray all the way in. The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run off
the plates during cooking.
• Decided whether you want the grill level or tilted.
1. Plug the grill in. The grill will beep and the red power light will ash slowly.
2. Press the 2button. If you don’t press the 2button within 2 minutes, your grill will
enter sleep mode and the red power light will stop ashing. Press the 2button
again to wake your grill.
3. The light above the temperature ( ) button will come on and the display will show
175 (default). The default temperature units are in ºC.
4. Set the temperature you require using the uand dbuttons. The range is from
150ºC to 220ºC in 5º increments.
5. While your grill is heating up, the light above the temperature button will light up red,
and the gures on the display will ash. When your grill has reached the selected
temperature, the light will turn green, the display will stop ashing and your grill
will beep three times. During cooking, this sequence will be repeated as your grill
maintains the temperature. This is normal.
6. When the selected temperature has been reached place the food onto the grill and
close the lid.
7. When you have nished cooking press the 2button then unplug the grill.
• You can adjust the temperature at any time using the uand dbuttons.
• Check that the food is cooked. If you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.
• Wear oven gloves or similar protection.
• Remove the cooked food with wooden or plastic tools.
• The hinge is articulated to cope with 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. Wipe it with kitchen
paper then replace it under the front of the grill.

SEAR FUNCTION
The sear function raises the temperature to 260ºC for 90 seconds. The sear function
works best with close-grained red meat like beef, lamb, venison, buffalo, bison, etc., cut
into steaks (across the grain of the meat). The meat should be between 5 mm and 25
mm thick.
1. Press the 2button.
2. Press the sear (P) button. The light above the sear button will light up red and the
display will show 260.
3. When your grill has reached the sear temperature, the light will turn green, the
display will stop ashing and your grill will beep three times.
4. Wear an oven glove and open the grill. Place the food onto the bottom grill plate,
then close the grill.
5. Wait till the grill beeps again (after 90 seconds) then open the grill
6. You can repeat the sear function four times one after the other but if you try to use
it more than this the display will show “EAA “ (ERRor). Press the 2button and allow
your grill to cool for 10 minutes before using the sear function again.
7. At the end of the sear function, your grill will revert to the previously set temperature.
However, it will take time to cool down.
8. To cancel the sear function at any time, press the 2button.
The outside surfaces of the food will be seared to a deep brown, while the inside should
be rare to medium rare (depending on the thickness of the food).
You now have the option of removing the food right away, (for rare or medium), or leaving
it to cook at the default temperature for a little longer if you want the meat more well
done.
Tips for perfect steaks
• Ideally, steak should be 12 - 15 mm thick (llet steaks can be thicker).
• Always allow the steaks to come up to room temperature before cooking. Don’t try
to cook them straight from the fridge.
• Pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper before placing on the grill.
• Season just before cooking. Be sparing with the salt or leave it out altogether (you
can always add salt for avour after cooking). Adding salt before cooking can draw
water to the surface of the steak where it will boil during cooking. The steak will be
steamed rather than seared, and will be grey instead of brown.
• Resting steaks after cooking is crucial for the best results. Allow them to rest for a
minimum of 3 minutes before serving. Correct resting allows the juices within the
meat to be reabsorbed giving a tasty, succulent steak.

TEMPERATURE PROBE FUNCTION
Many people judge if meat is cooked by touch or sight, or from the length of the cooking
time. The use of the temperature probe has several benets over these methods:
• Provide consistent, repeatable results
• Prevent overcooking
• Prevent under cooked food
• Eliminate guesswork
In use, the sharp point of the temperature probe is inserted into the food and the other
end is connected to your grill. The probe constantly sends the internal temperature of
the food to your grill where it is compared to a target temperature you have previously
set. Once reached, your grill will sound an alarm and switch off.
1. Connect the temperature probe to your grill (FIG D).
2. Press the 2button.
3. Set the cooking temperature you require using the uand dbuttons and allow your
grill to heat up.
4. Press the probe ( ) button. The light above the probe button will light up red and
the display will show 75 (default).
5. Set the probe temperature you require using the uand dbuttons. The range is
from 48ºC to 81ºC in 3º increments.
6. Insert the temperature probe into the food and carefully place the food onto the
preheated grill. Make sure that the probe doesn’t affect the lid closing or that the
cable isn’t pinched when the lid is closed.
7. During cooking, the display will alternate between showing the target temperature
you have set and the temperature that the probe is actually reading. When the
internal temperature of the food matches the target temperature, the light above the
probe button will turn green and your grill will beep ve times. The heaters of your
grill will switch off when the target temperature is reached but since cooking will
continue due to the residual heat, remove the food as soon as possible.
8. To cancel the function at any time, press the 2button.
• If you forget to plug in the probe the display will show “NO PAB” (NO PRoBe) and
your grill will beep.
• The probe will become HOT during use.
• Always insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat away from any bone or fat
which can give a false reading (FIG E).
• For the most accurate temperature reading, make sure that the probe is placed as
central as possible between the upper and lower surfaces of the meat.
• Before and after use, clean the probe with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
• Store the probe by wrapping the cable between the two halves of the handle and
inserting it into the recess on the side of your grill (FIG F).
Note: The temperature probe is a guide but you have to make up your own mind as
to whether food is safe or not. Temperature probe recommended only for those foods
listed on page 9.

TIMER FUNCTION
Using the timer is optional. It doesn’t turn your grill off, it simply beeps ve times to tell
you the time is up. Use the timer with the basic grilling function. To set the timer:
1. Switch on your grill and set the desired temperature. Allow it to heat up until the light
above the temperature button turns green.
2. Press the timer button the light above the button will come on and the display will
ash 5:00 (default). Use the uand dbuttons to set the desired time. The time can
be set from 30 seconds minute to 19 minutes 30 seconds in 30 second increments.
If you don’t press either button within 5 seconds, the grill will revert to temperature
mode.
3. The display will stop ashing and the timer will start to count down 5 seconds after
you last press the uand dbutton.
4. When the timer reaches zero, the grill will beep ve times and the display will ash
0:00. Remember that your grill is still active and you must remove the food to avoid
overcooking it.
5. To cancel the timer function at any time, press and hold the timer button for three
seconds. Your grill will revert to the basic grilling function.
ADVANCED COOKING
You can use the temperature probe feature to control exactly how you like your steak to
be cooked. To cook a medium-rare or medium-well done steak, do the following:
1. Prepare the steak and insert the probe. Connect the probe to the grill.
2. Press the 2button.
3. Set the temperature to 220ºC using the uand dbuttons.
4. Press the probe ( ) button. The light above the probe button will light up red and
the display will show 75 (default).
5. Use the uand dbuttons to set the desired probe temperature (refer to the
COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY table).
