Before rst use
1 Remove any stickers and wipe the appliance with a damp cloth.
2 Clean the appliance and the grid thoroughly (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
Using the appliance
Note: The appliance may produce some smoke when you use it for the rst time. This is normal.
1 Slide the drip tray into the base (Fig. 3).
Note: The drip tray can only be slid into the base in one way.

,HD6372:The grilling grid is hot and ready for use right away.
,It takes 6-7 minutes for the barbecue grid to heat up.
5 Use a spatula or a pair of tongs to place the ingredients on the grid (Fig. 7).
Be careful: the grid is hot!
Note:When you marinate your food, only use little oil and brush the marinade lightly onto the food as
the oil causes extra smoke.
,Barbecue grid only: during the grilling process, you hear the sizzling sound that is typical
for barbecuing.
Note: The grilling time depends on the thickness and size of the food and may vary.
Note: If you grill very fatty ingredients, you will still notice some smoke coming off the food, but much less
than with a conventional electric table grill.
6 When the food is done, remove it from the grid or turn the control knob to the keep-warm
position if you want to eat the food later. (Fig. 8)
Use a spatula or a pair of tongs to remove the food. Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen

Tips
- Tender pieces of meat are best suited for grilling.
- Pieces of meat such as steaks become more tender if marinated overnight.
- Turn the food only once with a spatula or a pair of tongs to ensure that it remains juicy inside
and does not dry out. Do not use any metal tools like forks or grill tongs as they damage the
non-stick coating of the grids.
- Do not turn the grilled food too frequently.
- When you make satay or kebab, soak bamboo or wooden skewers in water to prevent them
from getting scorched during grilling. Do not use metal skewers.
- Sausages tend to burst when they are being grilled.To prevent this, cut the skin a few times
lengthwise.
- Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat. Do not put salt on
the meat until after you have grilled it.This helps to keep the meat juicy. For the best result,
make sure the pieces of meat you prepare are not too thick (approx. 1.5cm).
This table grill is not suitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.
Cleaning and maintenance
Never use abrasive cleaning agents and materials, as this damages the non-stick coating of the grids.
1 Set the control knob to the off position and unplug the appliance (Fig. 9).
2 Let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes (Fig. 11).
3 Remove excess oil from the grid with a piece of kitchen paper before you remove the grid
for cleaning.
4 Lift the grid from the base by its handgrips (Fig. 12).

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance.
If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support
for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem Possbible cause Solution
Smoke is emitted
during grilling. You are grilling fatty ingredients. When you grill fatty ingredients like bacon or pork belly, you may notice some smoke coming off the food.When
you grill a lot of fatty ingredients, some of the fat will
splash onto the sides of the grilling elements and burn.
In this case, use the appliance under the extraction hood.
You are grilling
several batches
after each other,
but you have not
cleaned the
grease tray and/
or the grid after
each batch.
Excess oil and food juices or food residues that remain
on the grid and in the drip tray will start burning. Make
sure you wipe the grid and drip tray with paper kitchen
towels after each batch of grilled ingredients. Be careful:
the grid and drip tray are hot during and some time after
use. Use oven mitts or pot holders when you handle
these parts.
You marinated
your ingredients
with a lot of oil.
The smoke is caused by burning fat. If you marinate your
food with too much oil, some smoke will come off the
food. In this case, use the appliance under the extraction
hood.To keep smoke production to a minimum, we
advise you to use no oil or as little oil as possible.
Food falls
through the grid
bars onto the
drip tray.
The ingredients
are cut in too
small pieces.
To remove the pieces, wear oven mitts or pot holders
and slide the drip tray out of the appliance. Insert the
drip tray again. Make sure that you do not cut the
ingredients to be grilled into too small pieces. Large
vegetables like zucchini can be cut into slices. Small food
items like mushrooms should not be cut or only be cut
in half.
