BUFFALO DY997 Bistro Large Contact Grill Instruction Manual

BUFFALO DY997 Bistro Large Contact Grill

Product Description

The Bistro Contact Grill is a high-quality product manufactured by BUFFALO. It is designed to provide the best possible performance for grilling and cooking. The pack includes the grill, a fat drip tray, and an Allen key for adjusting the tension of the top plate.

Installation
Before using the grill, prepare the cooking surface by washing it with warm soapy water and rinsing it thoroughly. If the top plate becomes loose or stiff, use the Allen key provided to adjust the tension. Turn clockwise to tighten and anti-clockwise to loosen.

Operation
Plug in the grill and switch it on. The new treatment for the flat plates makes them smoother and better for cooking and cleaning. The initial surfaces may have ribbed markings with the first time use, but these markings will start to fade/disappear after several hours of cooking.

Maintenance

Before cleaning the grill, disconnect it from the electricity supply by removing the plug from the socket. Clean the cooking surface regularly, preferably after every use session. When the cooking surfaces are still warm, wash them with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Remove the fat drip tray and wash it in warm soapy water. Other surfaces can be wiped over with a damp cloth to remove all food residues. Do not immerse the Contact Grill in water or use water sprays to clean it. It is vital that the cooking surface is re-seasoned after scouring. Do not use steel wool as it may leave shards that could contaminate food.

Installation

• Remove your Buffalo Bistro Contact Grill from its packaging and be certain that all protective plastics and residues are thoroughly cleaned from its surface.
• Locate on a firm level surface.
• Buffalo recommended that you allow no less than 100mm ventilated gap around the perimeter of this unit.
• Ensure that the stainless steel waste tray is correctly positioned.
• Connect to the electricity supply using the plug, the Grill is now ready to turn on and operate.

Preparing the cooking surface

• Make sure the cooking surface is clean, turn the unit on and apply a generous amount of oil to the plates.
• Using the thermostat control, set the Grill to 110°C.
• When the Grill has reached temperature, switch off and carefully wipe any excess oil from the plates.

Operation

• The Contact Grill should be turned on at least 5 minutes before use.
• To get efficient use out of this unit while in intermittent use, it is recommended that the Grill plates remain closed and the thermostat turned down, when not cooking. This will assist in reducing power consumption and also allow for quicker heat response when needed.
• Buffalo recommends that the cooking surface is lightly greased before each use.
• A temperature setting of between 200°C and 220°C will be sufficient for general cooking. This may vary for particular food types, individual needs, or experience.
• Simply place the food products on the bottom grilling surface and lower the top plate down, and cook to your needs.

Note: If top plate becomes loose/ stiff use the Allen key supplied to adjust the tension. Turn clockwise to tighten, anti-clockwise to loosen.

Note: With the new treatment for the flat plates, the surfaces now are smoother and thus better for cooking and cleaning. Whereas, the initial surfaces may appear to have ribbed markings with the first time use. After several hours of cooking, such markings will start to fade/disappear.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

Before starting to clean the Grill, disconnect from the electricity supply by removing the plug from the socket.
Clean the cooking surface regularly. We recommend it is cleaned after every use session.
When the cooking surfaces are still warm, wash with warm soapy water and then rinse thoroughly with clean water. This will help to stop food sticking to the plates. Remove the fat drip tray and wash in warm soapy water.
Other surfaces can be wiped over with a damp cloth to remove all food residues. Do not immerse the Contact Grill in water or use water sprays to clean it.
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will begin to carbonize into a hard substance that is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent this, follow the cleaning steps below:

• Always turn OFF the appliance and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
• Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning, but for best results clean the plates when they are still slightly warm.
• Use warm, soapy water and a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the appliance.
• Take care when using scrapers to remove cooking residues as they can damage the cooking surface.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

Scraping

• After each use, scrape the appliance with a scraper/grill stone/copper brush or flexible spatula to remove excess fat and food. A waste tray is provided for the scrapings if necessary
• If there is an accumulation of burned fat or food, the cooking surface should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned.

Note: It is vital that the cooking surface is re-seasoned after scouring.

Warning: Do not use steel wool as it may leave shards that could Contaminate food.

Waste tray

• This appliance features a waste tray to collect any liquid or fats that run off during cooking
• At least once a day, remove and empty the waste tray before washing with warm, soapy water.
• Do not allow the tray to overfill, or excess grease will run out of the overflow hole at the front of the tray.

Warning: Do not remove tray during or immediately after use as the contents will be hot.
