To Use as a Closed Grill
1. Prepare the grill for use as described in section Operating Your Grill Barbecue. Turn the
temperature dial to the required position and allow the grill to preheat until the red HEATING
power indicator goes out.
Temperatures and cooking times depend on the size, thickness and type of foods as well as
your special liking (see: Grilling Guide).
WARNING! During operation and especially on placing food on the preheated cooking pla-
tes or on opening the grill during operation, hot fat and juices could splash from the appli-
ance. Always keep your hands and arms as well as any other objects in sufficient distance to
the appliance during operation to avoid scalds and damage. Ensure, that all persons stay in
sufficient distance to the appliance during operation. Always use the handle for opening the
grill. Take care not to upset the appliance, when lifting the top plate to the vertical position.
2. Allow the Professional Grill to preheat until the red HEATING power indicator goes out.
Then use the handle to carefully lift the top plate to the vertical position. The top plate will come
to a stand in this position.
3. Place meat or foods to be cooked on the base plate. Refer to grilling recipes or the Grilling
Guide in this booklet for cooking times.
CAUTION! Do not use any sharp or hard objects for scratching or cutting on the cooking plates.
4. When the food is cooked, remove it using a wooden or heat-resistant plastic spatula.
Note: Use the timer to monitor the time elapsed during preheating or cooking (see: Timer
Dial). The timer will ring once when the set time has elapsed. The grill will not turn off, but will
remain heating.
5. Use the handle to close the top plate. Only touch the top plate by the handles.
The top plate has a floating hinge system that is designed to press
down evenly on the food. The grilling height control on the right
metal arm of the top plate is used to adjust for the thickness of the
food (up to 8 cm). The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve
grill marks onto the food. To adjust the top plate, slide the grilling
height control to the desired position (see: Grilling height Control).
The grill can also be used to cook delicate ingredients such as fish
and hamburger buns without squashing. The levelling handle on the right front side of the
top plate of the grill may be used to even out the top plate.
6. When the food is cooked, use the handle to carefully lift the top plate until it stops in the
vertical position.
Cook your food to the desired doneness. If necessary, open the grill and make a check on the
results. Beware of hot steam and condensate when lifting the top plate.
7. Remove the food using a wooden or heat-resistant plastic spatula. There is no need for wai-
ting for the appliance to re-heat before placing other food on the cooking plates.
