INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Remove any labels on the grill plates before use. Make sure that the grill plates are clean and free from dust. Clean with a damp cloth, if necessary.
WARNING: You may notice a small amount of smoke the first time you use the grill. This is caused by some of the parts as they heat up. Place the grill on a flat surface. Release the locking catch (5) on the left side of the grill to open the plates.
WARNING: Make sure that the plates are closed while the grill is heating up.

Plug in the grill and the red light will switch on (2).
Keep the plates closed while the grill is heating up and until the green “Temperature ready” light (3) switches on.
Use the handle to open the top plate (1).
Place the food on the bottom grill plate (6). Always place food towards the back of the grill plate.
Use the handle (1) to lower the top plate, which has a specially devised movable hinge that allows the plate to rest evenly on the food.

WARNING: Do not touch the outside of the grill as there is a risk of scalding yourself.
WARNING: Do not use the locking catch to close the top grill plate while cooking food on the appliance. The weight of the grill plate itself will gradually press down on the food during cooking.
Cooking time ranges from 5-8 minutes. However, this will depend on individual tastes and on the type and thickness of the food.
Once the food is cooked, lift the cover using the handle (1). Remove the food using a plastic spatula.
WARNING: Never use metal utensils as they will damage the non-stick coating on the grill plates.

CLEANING

WARNING: Before cleaning, unplug the grill from the mains socket and wait for it to cool down.
WARNING: Never place the appliance in water or other liquids. Never wash it under running water.
WARNING: Never use metal objects, abrasive pads or powder of any kind; they could damage the non-stick coating.

Storing the grill:

WARNING: After unplugging the grill, leave it to cool.

Lock the top grill plate to the bottom one by clicking the locking catch (5) into place (Fig. 2).
Wind the cord into the special compartment under the grill (Fig. 3).
Store the grill on a flat surface.

RECIPES

Toasted panini with mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes (Serves 4)
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:

300 g sliced mushrooms
100 g baby spinach
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
3/4 cup grated low-fat cheese
200 g pita bread, cut into four portions

Heat a frying pan and drizzle in a little oil. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes or until they become soft, stirring them from time to time. Then place the mushrooms on some kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Heat the grill plate. Place the spinach, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheese evenly on one side of the pita bread. Cover with the remaining bread and press down firmly. Place the panini in the grill and cook for five minutes or until toasted. Cut into halves and serve.

Focaccia with lamb and pesto sauce Ingredients

400 g lamb fillets
Piece of focaccia bread (20 cm square)
65 g pesto sauce
50 g Parmesan cheese slices
35 g sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
Cook the lamb on the piping hot, lightly oiled grill (or barbecue) until it is brown and cooked to the required amount. Leave it to stand for 5 minutes before slicing it finely.

Heat the grill plate. Divide the focaccia into half and then slice each half horizontally into two. Spread pesto sauce on the bottom halves of the focaccia, then add the lamb, Parmesan and tomatoes and top with the remaining focaccia. Place the focaccia in the grill and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the focaccia is heated through. Cut the focaccia into diagonal pieces and serve.

Panini with toasted pancetta, banana, and cheese Ingredients:

4 slices of bread
6 or 7 slices of pre-cooked pancetta or bacon
1 banana
2 slices of Cheddar cheese

Another great professional trick is to lightly toast the bread by placing it together to make the panino. Then heat the grill plate, place the four slices of bread on the bottom grill plate, and close the grill. Heat the slices for no more than one minute (just the amount of time needed to toast the bread). Remove the toasted bread and cover the bottom halves of the panino with the slices of pancetta. Slice the banana, lengthways, into 6 and place the slices over the pancetta. Cover with the slices of cheese and the top halves of the panini and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Mexican Tortillas (Serves 4-6) Ingredients:

250 g Mexican salsa
Half a cup of refried beans (or red beans)
2 spoons finely chopped garlic and chives
200 g sausage meat, finely minced
16 round tortillas (not fried)
200 g Tzatziki sauce
200 g Avocado juice
250 g Mozzarella cheese, finely chopped
1 cup sour cream

Heat the grill plates. Mix together the salsa, beans, chopped garlic and chives, and the sausage and spread the mix onto 8 tortillas. Garnish with alternate layers of Tzatziki, Avocado, and cheese. Cook the tortillas for about 8 minutes, until they are golden, crispy and thoroughly heated.
