USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove all packaging and labels from the plate. Before throwing the packing material away, make sure you have removed all parts of the new appliance. We recommend you keep the box and packing to re-use in the future.

Please note: Before use, clean the base, cover and dials with a damp cloth to remove dust accumulated during transport. Clean the cooking plates and grease tray thoroughly. The plates, grease tray are dishwasher safe.
Please note: The first time you use the appliance, it may give off a slight odor and a little smoke. This is normal and common to all appliances with non-stick surfaces.
Please note: the removable grill plates (grill and griddle) are fully interchangeable on the appliance.

Inserting the cooking plates

Place the appliance in the flat position (see figure 1).
Insert one plate at a time.
Each plate can be inserted in either the upper or lower housing (see figure 2).

To remove the plates
Place the appliance in the flat position.
Identify the plate release buttons (3) on the left side. Press the button decisively to eject the plate from the base. Hold the plate with both hands, slide it along the metal supports and remove it from the base. Press the other release button to remove the second plate, following the same operations.

Danger of burns!! Remove or change the cooking plates when the appliance has cooled down.
Positioning the grease tray
During cooking, the grease tray must be inserted in its housing on the right side of the appliance. The grease coming from the food is drained towards the hole in the plate and gathered in the tray.

Please note: During cooking, check the grease tray frequently and pull out to avoid excess liquid grease. After cooking, dispose of the grease collected appropriately. The grease tray is dishwasher safe.

Important! Pay attention during cooking.
To open the appliance, hold the handgrip which remains cold. The die-cast aluminum parts become very hot, avoid touching them during and immediately after cooking. Before performing any operation on the appliance, leave to cool down for at least 30 minutes.
Cook only with the grease tray in place. Do not empty the grease tray until the appliance is completely cool. Take care when pulling out the grease tray in order to avoid spilling the liquid

COOKING POSITIONS

Contact grill (closed position)

The upper plate rests on the lower plate. This is the starting position and also one of the cooking positions when the appliance is used as a contact grill. The cover automatically adjusts to the thickness of the food on the plate. The food will thus be cooked evenly on both sides. The contact grill is ideal for cooking hamburgers, deboned meat and thin meat slices, vegetables and sandwiches. The “contact” function is perfect to prepare food rapidly and healthily. When you use the contact grill, the food cooks quickly as it is in contact with the plates on both sides at once (see figure 3).

The grease from the food is drained and collected by the grooves on the plate and the hole at the back and is collected in the grease tray.

The appliance has a special handgrip and hinge allowing the upper plate to be adjusted according to the thickness of the food. If you want to cook a number of different types of food simultaneously using the contact grill, the various foods should have the same thickness to allow the cover to be closed evenly.

Open Grill

The upper plate is level with the lower plate. The lower and upper plates are both at the same level, forming a large cooking surface. In this position, the appliance can be used in barbecue mode with either the grill plate or the griddle plate. To place the appliance in this position, first identify the hinge release button on the right. Hold the handgrip with the left hand and with the right, press the hinge release button (see figure 4).

Push the handgrip backwards until the cover rests upside down in the flat position (see figure 5).

Lifting the handgrip slightly before press the hinge release button lightens pressure on the hinge and facilitates the operation.
The appliance can be used as a grill/barbecue to prepare hamburgers, steak, chicken and fish. The grill/barbecue mode is the most versatile. The grill plates are in the open position, doubling the cooking surface. You can prepare a number of different foods on the separate plates without mixing the flavors, or cook more of the same food.
The grill/barbecue position can be used to grill cuts of meat with different thicknesses, each with the preferred level of cooking. In this position, you need to turn the food during cooking.

The appliance can also be used as a griddle/barbecue plate to prepare pancakes, eggs, cheese, fritters and bacon and sausages for breakfast (see figure 6).

The large cooking surface enables a number of different foods to be prepared simultaneously, or to cook more of the same food.

Oven Grill
This position (see figure 7) is suitable for grilling without contact thick foodstuffs that need to be roasted slowly and uniformly.

It is ideal for preparing vegetables with high water content, so the water can evaporate.
You can also use this hot plate position to prepare soft sandwiches and foods which do not require pressing.

Place the food on the lower plate.
Bring the upper plate near the food, holding the handle (fig. A).
Put the grill plates lock/release device (4) to desired oven position by sliding the lever.
The upper plate is locked in position. There are 5 positions of height regulation (fig. B).

USE

Operation

When the appliance has been prepared correctly and you are ready to cook, you can set the desired temperature for each grill plate (upper and lower) independently (using the thermostat dials 10 and 11).
The top and bottom plates lights will turn on (8 – 9).
The appliance takes some minutes to heat up depending on the set temperature. When the thermostat reaches the required temperature, the upper and lower plates lights turn off and the appliance is ready to use. The temperature can be changed at any time during cooking, depending on the type of food being prepared.

Please note: the appliance is equipped with 2 adjustable front feet (16) that facilitate the draining of the oil into the grease tray.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

User maintenance

Never use metal cleaning tools which could scratch the non-stick plates. Use wood or heat-resistant plastic tools.
Never leave plastic tools in contact with the hot plates.
Between cooking one food and the next, remove food residues through the grease drain hole and collect them in the grease tray, then clean with kitchen paper and move on to the next cooking operation.
Before cleaning the appliance, always leave the appliance to cool down for at least 30 minutes.

Cleaning and care

Please note: Before cleaning the appliance, make sure it has cooled down completely.

At the end of cooking, turn the dials to “ ” and unplug the appliance from the mains. Leave the appliance to cool down for at least 30 minutes. Remove any food residues from the plates. Empty the grease tray. The grease tray can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
Press the plate release buttons (3) to remove the plates from the appliance. Before touching them, make sure they have cooled down completely. The cooking plates can be cleaned in dishwasher although frequent washing in a dishwasher could reduce the properties of the coating. You are therefore recommended to clean the outside of the cooking plate with a soft sponge or cloth dampened with water and mild detergent.
Do not use metal tools to clean the plates.

Prepare the sauce: wash the parsley and chives and dry thoroughly, chop the garlic separately.
Pour the yoghurt into a bowl, add the herbs, garlic, salt, sugar and pepper and blend to a smooth cream. Place in the refrigerator and leave for at least 30 min. Insert the griddle plate at the lower and the grill one at the top, then put the appliance in OVEN GRILL mode. Adjust the lower thermostat dial to MAX and the top dial to MAX. Press the START/STOP button to preheat the grill. When the upper and lower plates lights turn off, place the previously oiled fillet on the lower plate, close the top plate in OVEN GRILL mode (as near as possible to the food without touching it) and cook for about 25-30 min. (for best results, turn the salmon through 180° about halfway through cooking as towards the back, the plate is nearer the food). When cooked, place the salmon on a serving plate and serve with the yoghurt sauce.
