Using your Café Contact Grill & Sandwich Press.
Before using your Café Contact Grill and
Sandwich Press
Before using your Grill/Press for the first time, the
non-stick cooking plates must be seasoned. Turn
the power ON and pre-heat until the Ready Light
illuminates.
Wipe a small amount of butter, margarine or oil
onto the plates, rub lightly and wipe away any
excess.
Note: When using your Café Contact Grill and
Sandwich Press for the first time you may notice a
fine smoke haze being emitted from the unit. This
is normal. It is due to the initial heating of
internal components.
Using your Café Contact Grill
and Sandwich Press
1. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt AC
power outlet.
2. Turn the power ON.
3. Select your desired temperature setting to suit
the type of food you wish to cook. Turn the
temperature dial to Contact Grill or Sandwich
Press.
4. Preheat until the Ready light (green)
illuminates.
Note: The Café Contact Grill and Sandwich Press
can be used to grill foods with the top plate
opened or closed.
5. After you have completed grilling or toasting,
turn the power OFF.
Note: Ensure that the cord is kept well away from
the cooking plates when in use.
Grilling Meats and Vegetables
Note: Always turn your temperature dial to
Contact Grill and, pre-heat for 3-5 minutes. The
Ready light will illuminate.
1. Always spray the grill plates with cooking spray
before placing meat, seafood or vegetables
onto the grill plate.
2. Gently lower the lid (if desired), by pulling down
the cast metal arms. The café-design floating
hinge system will adjust automatically ensuring
the top cooking plate lies evenly on your food
for perfect grilling everytime.
3. If desired halfway through cooking turn your
food over to achieve attractive grill marks on
both the top and bottom of your food.
4. When cooking some foods you may want to re-
spray the top grill plate to prevent food from
sticking.
5. The cooking plates are coated in a durable
high grade non-stick coating. Some foods that
are marinated or coated may cause the food to
stick to the grill plates.
To free the food use a plastic spatula or wooden
spoon. Never use a sharp metal objects as this will
damage the non-stick surface.
Note: The warm up and Ready Lights are
thermostatically controlled and will cycle on and
off during cooking to ensure that the correct
temperature is maintained.
Caution: Do not touch the outside of the top of
the grill/press, when in use. Ensure you use the
handle to open the top grill plate. Avoid touching
hot surfaces. This grill/press may generate steam
from between the grill plates while food is cooking
and when the top plate is opened. Take care when
removing food from the grill.
Toasting Sandwiches and Foccaccia’s
Note: Always turn your temperature dial to
Sandwich Press and pre-heat until the Ready light
illuminates before use.
1. Always butter the outside of the bread. The
sandwich filling will be placed between the
unbuttered sides of the bread.
2. Place the buttered side of the bread onto the
cooking plate, then spoon the recommended
quantity of filling onto the bread.
3. Place the top slice of bread on top of the filling
with the buttered side facing upwards.
4. Gently close the lid.
5. Allow the sandwiches to toast for
approximately 3 minutes, depending on
the bread, filling and personal taste. Your Café
Contact Grill and Sandwich Press toasts both
sides of bread at the same time.
