• The ready-for-use green LED (2) goes off intermittently during cooking to
indicate that the plates are warming up, thereby guaranteeing the pre-set
temperature.
• Pay attention not to scratch the non-stick coating when removing the food.
The lower plate has a spout to drain the cooking liquids (7). Collect the cooking liquids in a
suitable container (not supplied).
USEFUL TIPS
• Always warm the plates before placing the food.
• Sausages tend to crackle while cooking. Prick them with a fork before cooking.
• A better result is achieved with fresh meat rather than defrosted or frozen meat.
• Vegetables can be brushed with oil before being grilled.
• All food (as long as it is not too fatty or full of liquid) can be cooked wrapped in
greaseproof paper, so as not to dirty the plates.
• The grill can be used to cook food such as hamburgers, sausages, vegetables, bread
rolls, flat bread, toasted sandwiches and wraps.
• Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness, the temperature of the food and
personal taste: this table provides approximate cooking times.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Turn the grill off by setting the O/I switch (8) to O.
• Disconnect the mains cable with plug (9) from the socket.
• Let the grill cool down completely.
• Clean the plates with a damp sponge and soap.
• Clean the outer part of the grill with a damp and well-wrung sponge.
• Dry with a dry cloth.
Do not use abrasive sponges or sharp tools, which could ruin the non-stick
coating.
