LAKELAND FOLD-OUT GRILL
Thank you for choosing the Lakeland Smokeless grill.
Please take a little time to read this booklet before getting started and keep it in a safe
place for future reference.
This Smokeless grill has variable temperature controls for cooking meat and fish from rare
to well done.
For communal smokeless ‘barbeque’ cooking at the table, and grilling large amounts of
food. The two separate griddle plates allows you to keep different types of food separate
whilst cooking. Great for grilling up a meat feast or cooked breakfast.
Here at Lakeland, our award-winning family-owned business still offers the same excellent
quality, value for money and exceptional customer service as when we founded the
company back in the 1960s.
Our products are hand-picked and thoroughly tested so you can be sure that everything
you purchase will be a pleasure to use for many years to come.

runners underneath the main unit at either end. Put
your hand underneath the drip tray and pull it out fully
from the main unit to remove.
• To remove the griddle plates - Press the release
button at either end of the grill to remove the double-
sided non-stick griddle plates. Lift them out.
• To remove the fan covers - Press the top of the fan
covers at the top and this will release the cover, to lift
out.

9
• To remove the middle vent cover – Slide the cover
from under the clips to the left and remove.
• Wash the drip tray, griddle plates, fan covers and
middle vent cover in warm soapy water, rinse and dry
thoroughly.
• Make sure that all parts are clean and dry before
assembling the product.
TO ASSEMBLE THE SMOKELESS GRILL
• Slot the drip trays back into the main unit.
• Slot the middle vent cover back under the two clips
and push to secure in place.

10
• Slot the notches on the bottom of the fan covers into
the holes. Press gentle at the top until they click back
into place.
• Click the griddle plates back onto the main unit by
lining up the two notches on the griddle plate with the
holes at the middle of the of the grill, then click them
down into place at the other end by the fans.
• The Smokeless grill is now ready to use.

11
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• Make sure both griddle plates are fixed securely on the grill before switching on,
otherwise the grill will not preheat properly. Never plug in and switch on the grill
without the griddle plates in place.
• Place the Smokeless grill near a socket on a dry, level heat resistant surface or
heatproof. The grill should only be used in a well ventilated area, at least 30cm away
from walls and other surfaces to allow sufficient airflow. Make sure the temperature
dial is turned to MIN.
• You do not need to add extra oil when grilling. If oil is required add it now, ensure the
griddle plates are completely dry before brushing or wiping lightly with kitchen towel
coated with a little oil. Add oil sparingly or the griddle plates will smoke.
• Plug into the socket and switch on.
•
• Select the temperature you would like to cook at on each of the hotplate temperature
controls, between 90°C - 230°C. The READY light will come on to show the grill is
switched on and illuminate green.
• When you switch on the Smokeless grill for the first time there may be a slight burning
smell. This is normal for a new product and will disappear after a few uses. So we
advise heating up the grill empty on first use.
• After a few minutes, the green READY light will turn off, to show the griddle plates
have heated up to temperature and the grill is ready to use. Always ensure the READY
light has turned off, otherwise your food may stick and not cook through properly.
• Add your food to the griddle plates.
• Do not use metal utensils with the grill, this will damage the non-stick coating on the
griddle plates. Use heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.
• The ready light may come back on for a while as the grill has lost heat whilst the fresh
raw food has been added or the temperate has changed. This is normal and will turn
back off once the griddle plate is back up to temperature.
• Once your food is cooked, turn the temperature control MIN and switch off and unplug
at the socket. Remove your food and serve.
• Allow the appliance to cool down completely before removing the griddle plates,
moving or cleaning.
• Empty the drip trays and clean it after every use.
Each griddle plate works independently so you can use one or both griddle plates at
different temperatures.
Switch on the fans. The power light will come on and illuminate red.

A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS AND COOKING TIMES
Here is a guide on different types of food and cooking times. Times will vary depending
upon the thickness of your food. For steak, cooking times will vary depending on your
taste.
Whilst you are getting to grips with cooking times, monitor your food.
Ensure food is thoroughly cooked before serving.
Food Temperature
90/110/130/150/170/190/210/230˚C
Time
Vegetables 180˚C10-14 minutes
Prawns 180˚C10-16 minutes
Fish 180˚C16-20 minutes
Sausages thin 230˚C16 minutes
Burgers (quarter pounder size) 230˚C12-16 minutes
Pork fillet or chop 230˚C12-16 minutes
Kebab 230˚C12-16 minutes
Bacon 230˚C6-8 minutes
Poultry, chicken 230˚C16-20 minutes
Sirloin steak approx. 2cm
thickness
Rare 230˚C6-8 minutes
Medium 230˚C10-12 minutes
Well-done 230˚C14-16 minutes
Slice vegetables to around 1cm in thickness and toss in olive oil before grilling.
Never grill to cook or defrost frozen food. All food must be fresh and completely defrosted
before cooking.
Make sure foods are an even thickness for even cooking. Flatten chicken breasts, pork and
steaks using a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness before cooking.
Tougher cuts of meat taste and cook better if they are marinated first. Make sure excess
marinade is removed from food before grilling, to prevent burnt marinade building up on
the hotplates.

HINTS AND TIPS
Once you’ve tried some of the recipes in this booklet, you may wish to adapt them, using
our suggestions as a guide.
• Use a pastry brush with heat resistant bristles or a sheet of kitchen towel to clean food
residue from the griddle plates if you are cooking different types of food in the same
session.
• When cooking marinated and fatty meats, keep an eye on the drip trays to make sure it
does not overflow. Empty frequently.
PLEASE NOTE: Allow the contents of the drip tray to cool down below 40°C, to
avoid burning.
• You will need to turn your food during cooking.
• When cooking small amounts, place food in the centre of the hotplates.

Ingredients Quantity
Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless 450g, cut into strips
Olive oil 2 tbsp
Small clove garlic 1, peeled and crushed
Freshly squeezed juice of a lime 1
Smoked paprika 2 tsp

Preheat the grill to 230°C.
Add the onion to one half of the grill and spread out to ensure they are in an even layer
then add the pepper slices to the other half, also spreading out to an even layer. Grill
the onions for approximately 6-8 minutes and the pepper slices for approximately 10-12
minutes, turning both over halfway through cooking until softened and chargrilled.
Carefully remove the cooked onions and then the pepper slices and keep warm whilst

Divide the chicken between both sides of the grill, ensuring you spread it out to an even

CARE AND CLEANING
• Unplug the grill and let it cool completely before removing the hotplates and cleaning.
• Clean thoroughly before using for the first time and after every use.
• Check the parts for wear or damage after every few uses.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, or steel wool.
• Always use plastic, wooden or silicone spatulas, as metal utensils will damage non-stick
coatings.
• Never immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
• To clean the main unit and control panel, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry
thoroughly before storing.
• For stubborn food, pour on a little cooking oil and leave for 5 to 10 minutes, then
clean the griddle plates with a sponge or soft bristled brush to dislodge.
• If burnt on food remains, soak the griddle plates for a while before washing.
• To clean the griddle plates and drip trays wash with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly before storing. All these parts are dishwasher safe, but we recommend
washing the griddle plates by hand to preserve the non–stick coating.
• To clean the fan covers and middle vent cover, hand wash only.
