USE
When the appliance has been prepared correctly and you
are ready to cook, turn the selector to the left to choose the
barbecue function with griddle or grill plate, or to the right to
choose the contact grill function.
After selecting one of the two positions, the red light comes
on to indicate that the appliance is on.
To use the appliance as a contact grill, turn the grill
thermostat dial to the required temperature.
You can set a temperature of between 175°F (80°C) to 450°F
(230°C). To use the appliance as a barbecue with griddle
plate, turn the griddle plate thermostat dial to the required
temperature. You can set it from position 1 to position 5.
The appliance takes up to eight minutes to heat up depending
on the set temperature.
When the thermostat reaches the required temperature, the
green light comes on to indicate the appliance is ready to use.
It is normal for the light to go on and o during use as the
thermostat regulates the temperature.
The thermostat dials adjust the temperature of the cooking
surface. The temperature can be varied at any time during
cooking, depending on the type of food being prepared.
Take great care when cooking.
To open the appliance, hold the black part of the handgrip
which remains cold.
The die-cast aluminium parts become very hot, avoid
touching them during and immediately after cooking.
If you need to adjust the position of the cover during cooking,
always use an oven glove to avoid burns.
The bottom plate housing is made from plastic and even
though it may become very hot, there is no risk of burns.
Before performing any operation on the appliance, leave to
cool down for at least 30 minutes.
COOKING POSITIONS
Rest the appliance on a clean at surface where you want
to cook. The appliance can be used in the three following
positions:
- Closed position - The top plate/cover rests on the
bottom plate/base. This is the starting position and also
one of the cooking positions when the appliance is used
as a contact grill. The cover automatically adjusts to the
thickness of the food on the plate.
- Open position - The top plate/cover is open and
at 100° with respect to the base. The cover must be
opened to this position before using the appliance as a
contact grill.
The cover remains in the open position until the
handgrip is lowered.
- Flat position (fully open) - The top plate/cover is
level with the bottom plate/base. The bottom and
top plates are both at the same level, forming a large
cooking surface. In this position, the appliance can be
used in barbecue mode with either the grill plate or the
griddle plate. To place the appliance in this position, rst
identify the hinge release lever on the right. Hold the
handgrip with the left hand and with the right, slide the
release lever towards you. Push the handgrip backwards
until the cover rests upside down on the work surface.
If the appliance is in the open position and you want to
place it in the closed position, pull the handgrip gently
towards you until the cover rests upside down in the
closed position.
Inserting the cooking plates
Place the appliance in the at position (see above) with the
controls in front of you. Insert one plate at a time.
Each plate must be inserted in it's top or bottom housing
only, and they are marked “top” or “bottom”.
Lift the bottom plate with the housing for the heating
element facing downwards. Looking at the grill, the grease
drain hole must be in the front right corner. Identify the metal
supports at the centre of the housing. Tilt the back of the
plate and line up the shape on the back of the plate with the
metal supports. Slide the plate on the supports and push the
front of the plate downwards until it clicks into place.
Turn the appliance and insert the top plate, following the
same procedure.
To remove the plates
Place the appliance in the at position (see above).
Identify the plate release buttons on one side.
Push the button decisively to eject the plate from the base.
Hold the plate with both hands, slide it along the metal
supports and remove it from the base.
Press the other release button to remove the second plate,
following the same operations.
Remove or change the cooking plates when the
appliance has cooled down.
Positioning the grease drip cups
When the appliance is used as a contact grill, only one of
the grease drip cups is needed. During cooking, place the
cup directly under the grease drain hole. The grease coming
from the food is drained towards the hole in the plate and
gathered in the cup.
After cooking, dispose of the grease collected appropriately.
