handle:-

assembly. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Prior to using this appliance for the first time, wash the grill plate, base,
lid and drip tray in accordance with the instructions given under the
Cleaning section. Dry thoroughly and then lightly brush the surface of
the grill plate with cooking oil.
Place the drip tray into the base, then place the grill plate onto the drip
tray. Never use the grill plate directly on the work surface, always use
with the drip tray and base.
Insert the power supply connector into the grill plate, then connect to
the power supply and switch on. Turn the temperature control to the
desired setting: the higher the number the hotter the temperature. When
the Health Grill reaches this temperature, the light will go out and
cooking can commence. (During cooking, the light will go on and off
indicating that the selected temperature is being maintained).
This appliance should only be used on a heat resistant and easy to
wipe clean surface.
The following temperature settings and times are a guide only and will
vary according to individual preferences and the size/thickness of the
food being cooked. With use you will become familiar with the time and
setting needed to cook the food to your own requirements. Some
thicker items of food in particular pork and chicken, which should be
thoroughly cooked, may benefit from being pre-cooked in an oven or
microwave before being placed on the grill.
The Health Grill has two cooking areas. The flat plate is most suitable
for cooking fried eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms whereas the grills are
suitable for cooking meat such as beefburgers, chops and steaks.

Cooking Guide
Operation
Your new Kenwood Health Grill will enable you to cook a range of
healthy and flavoursome foods including meat, fish, poultry and
vegetables. During cooking the fat drains away from the food and
collects in the drip tray thus reducing the fat content of the food.

always be followed including the following:-

●Tender cuts of meat are more suitable for grilling and are therefore
best used on the Health Grill. It is best to avoid cooking tough cuts
of meat.
●Best results are obtained by cooking foods of a uniform thickness.
Thinner items of food are preferable to thick items as thick items
may take a long time to cook through to the centre which may result
in the outside overcooking.
●During cooking the food should be turned frequently to ensure even
cooking. Take care as some spitting may occur during cooking.
●Food placed directly above the element may brown and cook more
quickly than food elsewhere on the grill. Therefore moving the
position of the food on the grill will help to ensure even cooking.
●Always turn and remove food from the Health Grill using utensils
that will not scratch the non stick surface. Items made of wood and
heat resistant plastic are ideal.
●The drip tray has been coated with a reflective silver coating to
direct heat upwards and make cooking more efficient. To make
cleaning a little easier the base of the drip tray may be lined with
aluminium foil. Aluminium foil will collect the fat and make disposal
easier. Also with foil, heat is reflected upwards making cooking
more energy efficient.
Note:- When lining the drip tray it is important not to overhang the sides
with foil, as this will stop air circulation.
Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the power supply.
Allow the appliance to cool slightly then remove the power supply
connector from the appliance, by gripping the protrusions on either side.
Do not immerse the connector in water, instead wipe over if necessary
with a piece of absorbent paper or wipe with a barely damp cloth.
If used, dispose of any aluminium foil from the base/drip tray. Wash the
grill plate, base, glass lid and drip tray in hot soapy water and then dry
thoroughly. Do not use harsh abrasives or harsh scouring pads as they
may damage the non stick surface. If necessary use a soft nylon
bristled brush or a plastic scouring pad to remove stubborn marks.
These parts can also be placed in a dishwasher. Cleaning the Health
Grill after every use will help to maintain it in a good clean working
condition.
Note
After cleaning ensure that the power supply connector is thoroughly
dried before re-inserting into the appliance.
