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.
Please note: The rst time you use the appliance, it
may give o a slight odour and a little smoke.
This is normal and common to all appliances with non-stick
surfaces.
The appliance is supplied with a black cleaning tool to clean
the plates when the appliance has completely cooled down
after use (after at least 30 minutes).
If you use the tool for a long time on plates which are still hot,
the plastic may melt.
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.
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.
To place the cover in this position, just lift by the handgrip
until you hear a click. The cover automatically adjusts to the
thickness of the food on the plate. The cover remains in the
open position until the handgrip is lowered. This releases the
cover which is lowered until it covers the foods to be cooked.
The food will thus be cooked evenly on both sides.
When the handgrip is raised after cooking, the cover remains
parallel to the base.
To bring it back to the vertical, after removing the food, close
and re-open the appliance.
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. The appliance will remain in this
position until the cover is closed again. If the appliance is in
the open position and you want to place it in the at position,
pull the handgrip gently towards you and lift the hinge
release lever. Push the handgrip backwards until the cover
rests upside down in the at position.
Lifting the handgrip slightly before pulling the release lever
lightens pressure on the hinge and facilitates the operation.
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 can be inserted in either the top or bottom housing
only and they are labelled “top” or “bottom”.
Lift the bottom grill 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.
