Power Steakgrill

The extreme upper heat of more than 800°C measured in the radiator results in a browning in a matter of minutes. Embedded layers of fat melt and give a tasty aroma. The meat surface is closed so that meat juice and fat cannot run out.

Workplace

Important:
Never place this device on or next to hot surfaces (e.g. hot stoves). Only use it on a even, stable and a heat resisting surface. It is important that no inflammable items are near to the device. Do not place the device on the edge of the table so that it cannot be touched by children or fall down when touched. Make sure that the air intake on the bottom is not blocked by soft objects (such as tablecloth or dust).

Getting started

Important:
The appliance can smoke slightly when used the first time. Never put oversized food inside the oven and prevent any contact to the heating elements. Food which contains much fat should be grilled on level 3, the drip tray should be put 2 levels below

Connect the device to the mains and push the ON/OFF switch on the rear.
Insert the grill plate and drip tray with the tray handle into the device and remove the handle.
Press the button. The display shows the current temperature within the heating elements and 10 minutes.
If no setting is made within 20 seconds, the device turns into stand-by mode.
Press the button, the temperature display flashes.
Use the +/- buttons to change the temperature from 400°C to 850°C in steps of 10°C.
Press the button again, the timer display flashes.
Use the +/- buttons to change the time from 10 minutes to 99,59 minutes in steps of 30 seconds.
Press the button to start the device.
As soon as the device heats up, an LED lights up next to the temperature display. Once the desired temperature has been reached, a short signal sounds and the set time starts to run.
Attention : use oven gloves while working with the device!
During operation, the temperature and time can be changed at any time. Press the button, the temperature display flashes. Now this can be changed with the +/- buttons. By pressing again, the temperature is confirmed and the time can be set. Press the button to start the device with the newly set values
Important! The ventilation for cooling the electronics continues to run until the device has reached a temperature of 60°C. “H” lights up in the display. Only then press the power switch.
The dark discoloration in the middle of the radiator is caused by the temperature regulator in the ceramic.
Danger of burns! Because of the high temperatures, the tray handle must be removed from the grill plate or the drip tray during operation.
It is advisable to put some water in the drip tray so that fat cannot ignite.
Keep calm in case of fire! Firstly, remove the drip tray, then the food. Do not extinguish with water, but use a damp cloth to extinguish the flames.
Key lock : if is pressed for at least 5 seconds, the key lock is activated and “L” lights up in the display. Press again for 5 seconds to unlock the device

Temperature

At maximum setting, the core temperature in the ceramic heater is 830°C +/- 20°C and is affected by the alternating voltage.
Due to the high temperatures in the device, the stainless steel discolours, which is affected by the radiant heat. This is not a reason for complaint.
Tat the different insertion levels the radiation temperature reduces. The insertion level depends on:
- Own taste
- Type of food (beef, pork, veal, fish, etc.)
- Degree of browning
- Thickness
- Fat content
- Selected temperature
Insertion level:
- The upper slots (level 1 – 4) are suitable for grilling
- The middle slots (level 4 – 6) are suitable for gratinating
- The lower slots (level 6 – 9) are suitable for resting
As there are various personal preferences, experiences should be gathered in terms of temperature setting, insertion level and time.
Important : Since extremely high temperatures are used, the grilled food must always be observed!
To achieve a quick browning, the meat should be inserted as close as possible to the radiator without touching the radiator!
The most intense heat is directly under the radiator in the rear of shelf level 1 and 2. This area is marked on the grill plate. From level 3 downwards, the angle of radiation and the grill temperature changes.

Grilling time:

Meat, per side 1 – 4 minutes (depends on thickness)
Poultry, per side 2 – 3 minutes (depends on thickness)

Resting time : 3 minutes in the resting time. Before serving, the meat can be grilled briefly from both sides.

Core temperatures

The core temperature measurement indicates the degree of doneness.
After two-sided power grilling on the plate, the meat should rest for a few minutes in the lower area in the resting tray until the core temperature is reached.
Insert the measuring probe at the thickest point of the meat for few centimetres. Not in the vicinity of a bone, as the temperature is thereby distorted.
Connect the measuring probe to the device (No.13). The core temperature display (No. 12) shows the core temperature
Seasoning: only sprinkle with salt, pepper and other spices after grilling.
Core temperature| rare| medium| well-done
---|---|---|---
Beef| 53/55°C| 58/60°C| 60/75°C
Pork| /| 65/70°C| 75/80°C
Veal / lamb| /| 55/65°C| 65/70°C
Poultry| /| /| 75/80°C
Fish| /| 55/62°C| /
Carry out the core temperature measurement only at grill temperatures of 400 ° C, as higher temperatures damage the sensor. The probe should not touch the grill plate

Note

The meat should be taken out of the fridge approx. 1 hour before grilling so that it warms to room temperature.
Dab the moisture of the meat before grilling so that the browning can be obtained quickly.
Pull out the grill plate with the handle and place the food on it. Insert the drip tray 2 levels below, and the resting tray at the lowest level.
Turn the meat after 1 – 4 minutes and grill for another 1 – 4 minutes until the desired degree of browning is obtained.
In order to avoid grease drops on the work surface, which may result while pulling out the grill plate, firstly pull out the lower drip tray to 2/3. Then pull out the grill plate.
Do not grill cured meat or dry food (e.g. crispbread)!
Leave the meat to rest for about 5 minutes in the resting tray.
To spice up the crispy crust, roast again for about 30 seconds on each side.
Lean meat contains little fat and does not brown well. It should be turned frequently until the desired degree of browning is achieved.
Fish:
- Fish protein coagulates very quickly and becomes dry and firm. Fish should be grilled at level 3 – 4 at full power for about 30 seconds per side. Leave to rest in the resting tray for a few minutes.
