OPERATION

PREPARING THE GRILL FOR USE

1. Wipe the cooking plates, drip tray and probe with a soft damp sponge. Dry thoroughly.
2. Ensure the drip tray and cooking plates are correctly inserted and securely locked into position.
3. For probe, insert jack into the socket on the front face of the Probe Storage area located on the right hand side of the grill. When not in use, wrap probe cord around Probe Storage.
4. Unwind the power cord completely and insert the power plug into a grounded wall outlet.
5. The grill alert will sound and the LCD screen will display OFF.
6. The grill is now ready for the preheating cycle.

NOTE
The grill features 2 x PLATE RELEASE. These allow you to independently remove the top and bottom cooking plates for easy cleaning, or to interchange plate positions.

USING THE PLATE RELEASE

• Always ensure the grill is completely cool. Use the handle to open the top plate to a 90 degree position.
• Use the ‘Plate Release’ on the front, right side of the top plate to remove the top cooking plate, and the ‘Plate Release’ on the left side of the control panel to remove the bottom cooking plate. Once released, gently slide the plates off the grill.
  • If the cooking plates are incorrectly inserted, the LCD screen will display Er1. Use the 2 x PLATE RELEASE to remove he plates then re-insert so they securely lock into position. Always ensure the grill is completely cool before releasing and removing the cooking plates.
  • When the grill is turned on and heating for the first time, it may emit a fine smoke haze. This is due to the protective substances on the heating elements. It is safe and not detrimental to the performance of the grill.

PREHEATING THE GRILL

1. Ensure the top plate of the grill is in the closed position, with the Height Control Clip in the OPEN position.
2. Turn the PLATE TEMP dial to adjust the temperature in 5°C increments. Rotate the dial to SEAR (210°C–230 °C) for fast preheating, PANINI (sandwich) (180°C– 205°C), LOW (160°C– 175°C) or select an alternative temperature.
3. The grill will start to heat and the LCD screen will illuminate orange. Selected temperature that corresponds to PLATE TEMP will flash.
4. Once the grill has preheated to the selected temperature, one alert will sound and the selected PLATE TEMP will stop flashing.

NOTE

• Always allow the grill to preheat completely to the selected temperature before cooking.
• The temperature corresponding to PLATE TEMP on the LCD may flash during the cooking process. This is normal, indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.

ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT CONTROL
To set the adjustable height control, use the handle to lift the top plate and simultaneously move the adjustable height control clip to the desired height. Then slowly lower the top plate until it rests on the adjustable height control clip.

ADJUSTABLE TILT CONTROL
The angle of the cooking plates can be adjusted by turning the PLATE TILT dial. The PLATE TILT dial is located on the lower back, right side of the grill.

We recommend using:

• The angle position to drain fats for healthier cooking.
• The flat position for cooking eggs, pancakes, Turkish bread, focaccias and leaner meats.

TEMPERATURE CONVERSION BUTTON

• The grill features a temperature conversion button on the left side of the LCD screen. The temperature reading on the grill is preset to Celsius. Pressing the temperature conversion button converts the Celsius temperature reading into Fahrenheit. The corresponding °C or °F symbol will be displayed on the LCD screen.
• If you have changed the default Celsius temperature reading to Fahrenheit, the setting will remain in the memory of the grill until the Temperature Conversion Button is pressed a second time or the grill is unplugged from the wall outlet. When the grill is plugged back into the wall outlet, the temperature reading will automatically return to the preset Celsius setting.

INTEGRATED PROBE WITH SMART SETTINGS

• The integrated probe with smart settings is designed to help achieve consistent doneness results when cooking different meats.
• 5 meat settings have pre-programmed temperatures to suit your desired doneness. The set temperatures for each meat are displayed in the chart (see fig. 1).

REST INDICATOR

• When cooking to a desired doneness, it is important to remove the meat from the grill before it reaches the desired internal temperature as residual heat will continue to cook the meat during the rest phase.
• The Smart Grill Pro™ has a REST MEAT indicator, which alerts you to remove your meat before the SET TEMP is reached to prevent over cooking.

NOTE: The probe and smart settings have been optimized for cooking in contact mode with the PLATE TEMP dial turned to SEAR (230°C).

USE AS A CONTACT GRILL WITH SMART SETTINGS AND PROBE

1. Repeat Preparation and Preheating Steps. For best results, set PLATE TEMP dial to SEAR (230°C).

2. While the grill is preheating, adjust the angle of the cooking plates to the desired position by turning the PLATE TILT dial located on the lower back, right side of the grill.

3. Ensure probe is installed correctly as per point 3 in the section PREPARING THE GRILL FOR. Unwrap probe from Probe Storage.

4. Insert probe gently into the side of the meat, ensuring that it is positioned in the thickest part and directly in the centre of the meat (see fig. 2).

5. To select meat type, rotate the FOOD dial to scroll through food menu. An arrow indicator will show alongside selected meat (see fig. 3).

6. Once meat type is selected, press the SET TEMP button to scroll through doneness settings. An arrow indicator will show alongside selected doneness.

7. To open the grill:

8. Ensure the grill has completely preheated and the LCD screen no longer flashes PLATE TEMP.

9. Ensure the top cooking plate is closed. The Height Control Clip, located on the right side of the top plate, should be in the
   OPEN position.

10. Use the handle to open the top plate to a 90 degree position.

11. Place meat with probe inserted on the bottom cooking plate.

12. Use the handle to close the top cooking plate. When cooking with the probe it is recommended that the top plate of the grill is in the closed position, with the Height Control Clip in the OPEN position.

13. During cooking 3 alerts will sound and REST MEAT and selected doneness will flash to indicate it is time to remove the meat from the grill to rest.

14. When food is cooked, remove meat from grill using heatproof plastic or wooden utensils. Pull out probe and place meat onto a plate or tray. Cover loosely with foil. Allow to rest for a minimum of 5 minutes before serving.

15. To turn off grill, turn PLATE TEMP dial to the OFF position.

NOTE: The grill does not automatically stop cooking once REST MEAT flashes. If meat is not removed you risk over cooking.

FOR BEST RESULTS

• For even results, select meat with even thickness.
• When cooking cuts of meat with irregular thicknesses such as chicken breast, edges can remain slightly pink. After cooking is complete, sear any undercooked edges on the hot cooking plates.
• Do not use spray-on, non-stick coatings as these will affect the performance of the non-stick cooking plates.
• Never use metal or sharp utensils as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cooking plates.
• Add as bullet point:
• Bones heat up at a different rate than meat, so when cooking with boned meat, insure probe placement is not close to a bone and check doneness carefully.
• Use marinades carefully as they can contain sugars which reach high temperatures more quickly than meat and can easily burn.

USE IN OPEN FLAT BBQ MODE
The grill opens flat into a 1650 sq. cm grilling surface. The ribbed cooking plate is perfect for searing meats while the flat cooking plate is ideal for eggs, pancakes and vegetables.

1. Repeat Preparation and Preheating Steps.
2. While the grill is preheating, adjust the angle of the cooking plates to the desired position by turning the PLATE TILT dial.
3. To open the grill into BBQ mode.
   • Ensure the grill has completely preheated and the LCD screen no longer flashes PLATE TEMP.
   • Ensure the top cooking plate is in the closed position, with the Height Control Clip in the OPEN position.
   • With your left hand, grip the handle. With your right hand, pull the Height Control Clip on the right side of the grill towards you, into the BBQ mode position. Continue to pull the clip forward and simultaneously lift the handle to open, and then gently lower the top plate into the horizontal BBQ mode position.
4. Place food on either or both of the cooking plates.
5. If using the probe, repeat steps 3–6 on “USE AS A CONTACT GRILL…” to insert the probe and select desired doneness setting before placing meat on the grill.
6. During cooking 3 alerts will sound and REST MEAT and selected doneness will flash to indicate it is time to remove the meat from the grill to rest.
7. When food is cooked, remove meat from grill using heatproof plastic or wooden utensils. Pull out probe and place meat onto a plate or tray. Cover loosely with foil. Allow to rest for a minimum of 5 minutes before serving.
8. To turn off grill, turn PLATE TEMP dial to the OFF position.

NOTE: The probe and smart settings have been optimized for cooking in contact mode. As a result, additional cooking time may be required when using the probe in BBQ mode. For best results, it is recommended to flip meat regularly.

USE AS A SANDWICH OR PANINI PRESS

1. Repeat Preparation and Preheating Steps.
2. While the grill is preheating, adjust the angle of the cooking plates to the desired position by turning the PLATE TILT dial. The PLATE TILT dial is located on the lower back, right side of the grill.
3. To open the grill:
   • Ensure the grill has completely preheated and the LCD screen no longer flashes PLATE TEMP.
   • Ensure the top cooking plate is closed. The Adjustable Height Control Clip, located on the right side of the top plate, should be in the OPEN position.

• Always place sandwiches in the centre bottom plate.
• Toasting should take approximately 5–8 minutes. Exact toasting time will be a matter of preference and the type of bread and fillings used.
• Never use metal or sharp utensils as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cooking plates.

WARNING

• The surfaces of the grill are hot during and after operation. Always use the integrated levelling support/PLATE RELEASE on the front, right side of the top cooking plate when adjusting the position of the top plate. Alternatively, use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts.
• Never grip the levelling support or use it to open the top cooking plate. Always use the grill handle to open and close the top cooking plate.
• The levelling support may get hot during and after operation. Always use the levelling support as pictured.

CARE & CLEANING

Ensure the grill is turned OFF by turning the PLATE TEMP dial to the OFF position. The grill is OFF when the LCD screen displays OFF. Remove the power plug from the wall outlet. Allow the grill to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.
Always clean the probe, outer body, drip tray and cooking plates after each use to prevent a build-up of ingredients.

CLEANING THE PROBE
Wipe the metal probe and cord with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the probe, before cleaning.

CLEANING THE OUTER BODY
Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the grill surface, before cleaning. Rinse. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
After each use, slide out the drip tray and discard contents. Wash the tray in warm soapy water with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the tray, before cleaning. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Always ensure to re-insert the drip tray into the grill after cleaning and prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

WARNING
Extreme caution must be used when handling the drip tray containing hot fats and juices.
Do not immerse the body, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid as this may cause electrocution.

CLEANING THE COOKING PLATES

1. Wipe the cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food residue.
2. Alternatively, release and remove the cooking plates:
   • Always ensure the grill is completely cool.
   • Use the handle to open the top plate to a 90 degree position.
   • Use the PLATE RELEASE on the front, right side of the top plate to remove the top cooking plate, and the PLATE RELEASE on the left side of the control panel to remove the bottom cooking plate.
   • Once released, gently slide the plates off the grill.
3. Wash the cooking plates in hot soapy water with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the plate, before cleaning. Remove stubborn residue with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush.
4. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Always ensure the cooking plates are correctly re-inserted and securely locked back into position after cleaning and prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

NOTE

• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads on any of the interior or exterior surfaces of the grill. These will scratch the surfaces and damage the non-stick coating on the cooking plates.
• The underside of the cooking plate may discolor over time and can form a layer of corrosion. This is normal. Any discolouration that may occur to either side of the cooking plate will only detract from the appearance of the plate and will not affect the cooking performance.
• To remove discoloration or corrosion, use a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Ensure the round pad on the underside of the plate is clean.

STORAGE

1. Ensure the grill is turned OFF by turning the PLATE TEMP dial to the OFF position. The grill is OFF when the LCD screen displays OFF. Remove the power plug from the wall outlet.
2. Allow the grill, cooking plates and drip tray to cool completely.
