CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Disconnect from power and allow to cool before cleaning.
Season unit prior to use, refer to page 6.
Do not clean with the use of a water jet or immerse in water.
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning products as they will damage the appliance.
Wipe all surfaces of the appliance with warm soapy water using a damp non- abrasive cloth.
Empty the grease tray on a daily basis or more frequently if required; wipe clean using a damp cloth with warm soapy water.
Regular cleaning will prevent a build-up of oils and keep the appliance looking new.
Never use any metal or abrasive scrubbers or cleaners on the plates of the unit.
Cooking residue should be carefully removed by gently scrubbing the plates with a nylon scrubber or scraper. Be cautious not to scrub back the plates too far (to the point the plates are shiny again) as the plates will need to be seasoned again, refer to page 6.
If plates become too difficult to clean using the above method, you may use a non-caustic oven cleaner by applying a small amount to the plates and letting is sit for no longer than 30 seconds before wiping off the cleaner. Ensure all cleaner residue is removed from the Grill Station.
Note: Only use non-caustic oven cleaner when absolutely necessary. If the oven cleaner eats into the aluminum cooking surface immediately cease using the product for cleaning the Grill Station.
NON-STICK COATED (T) SERIES
Plates should be cleaned regularly during use and at the end of each day using a soft cloth dampened with only hot soapy water, regular cleaning will prevent the build-up of food residue which leads to carbonization and can lead poor cooking performance, overheating, and damage to the non-stick coating.
Any stubborn cooking residue should be carefully removed by gently scrubbing with a Nylon scrubber or scraper. We recommend the use of Nylon scrubbers. Do not under  any circumstances use any metal or abrasive scrubbers or cleaners on non-stick-coated plates.

INSTALLATION

Remove all packaging materials, tape, and any protective plastic from the appliance. Remove any glue residue from the protective plastic or tape using citrus cleaner.
Place the product on a firm, level surface in the desired position. Install at least 100mm from combustible materials and 100mm from any other appliance. If the Grill Station is  to be used as a toaster it must not be placed under or near to combustible material due to the risk of the bread burning.
Do not connect to power using an extension cord.
Do not place the Grill Station above other equipment that may give off heat.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, ensure that all switches are in the OFF position. Connect only to an RCD-protected, grounded 3-pin outlet.
The units must be wired into an RCD (Residual Current Device) rated at no less than 30mA for circuit protection.
A minimum of 100mm clearance all around the Grill Station should be provided to ensure the proper functionality of the unit.

AUSTRALIAN MODELS
GSA610, GSA810, GSA610E, and GSA810E models should be plugged into a single phase, 10 or 15 Amp power point.
GSA815 and GSA815E models should be plugged into a single phase, 15 Amp power point.
EXPORT MODELS (-G, -F & -M)
Export models can plug into a standard 13 Amp UK (Type G), 16 Amp European (Type E or F) or South African (Type M) powerpoint.

OPERATION OF GRILL STATIONS

All Models
Selector Switch
Displays the 2 different cooking functions of the unit; Contact Grill Mode & Hotplate Mode. A green light will illuminate if either of these is selected.
Contact Grill Mode activates both the bottom and top plates and will illuminate the amber light to the right of the switch.
Hotplate Mode activates the bottom plate only and illuminates the amber light to the left of the switch.
Note: The amber lights will only illuminate as the plates are heating and will switch off once the temperature set by the thermostat is reached.

Thermostat
Controls the temperature of the plates as per the displayed rating. It is not necessary to turn the thermostat to “Off” when the unit is switched off.

Note: Non-stick coated units should never be set above 240°C.

Mechanically Timed Grill Stations
Models: GSA610, GSA810, GSA815
The timer is purely a mechanical device to provide an audible ring after the set time (each notation on the timer represents the number of minutes it will countdown). It provides no control over the heating of the unit.

Electronically Timed Grill Stations
Models: GSA610E, GSA810E, GSA815E
The electronically timed models have 4 individual timers, each with its own pre-set time periods. The timers provide an audible buzz after the pre-set time elapses, but do not provide any control over the heating of the unit.

Start Button

• Press once to start the timer (countdown)
• Single press during countdown – Pause timer.
• Single press during pause – Continue timer.
• Press and hold at any time – Reset the timer to pre-programmed time.

At the end of a time sequence, the timer the display will flash and a buzzer will sound.
Press the Start key to cancel the buzzer and reset the timer.
Each timer has a separate alarm sound as follows:

• Timer 1, one beep – pause – repeating
• Timer 2, two beeps – pause – repeating
• Timer 3, three beeps – pause – repeating
• Timer 4 four beeps – pause – repeating

1.2 Entering a temporary (one cycle) time.
Up or Down + Start pressed simultaneously.
The time on the corresponding display starts flashing. Note minimum time setting, one second, maximum time setting, 9 minutes 59 seconds.
One press of the Up or Down key changes the pre-set time by one second, holding the Up or Down key down continuously adjusts the time at a faster rate. Press the Start button again to establish the new (single-use) time setting.
Press the Start button again to begin the countdown.

Changing the default pre-set time settings.
Up + Down + Start pressed simultaneously.
The time on the corresponding display starts flashing.
The time can be adjusted by using the Up or Down keys, as noted above. Press the Start button again to save the new time as the default.
Press the Start button again to begin the countdown.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A short buzzer will sound to indicate a button was pressed each time any button is pressed.

If the unit is left on pause mode for 6 minutes, the unit will automatically exit pause mode and revert to the default time. The user must then manually press start again to begin the countdown.
seasoning
Seasoning is only required for units without Non-Stick Coatings. Before cooking, follow the below:

• Wipe both plates clean and apply a liberal amount of vegetable oil.
• Turn the unit onto Contact Grill Mode & set the thermostat to 180°C.
• Once the temperature is reached – carefully wipe off any excess oil.
  Caution: Take care when wiping off excess oil as the plates and the oil will be hot.

COOKING

• Lightly grease or oil the plates and set the Thermostat to the desired cooking temperature.
• Adjust the selector switch to Hot Plate or Contact Grill mode as required.
• Allow a warm-up time of around 15 minutes to pre-heat the plates before using them for the first time each day.
• Place the food on the bottom plate and close the top plate onto the food if using the Contact Grill mode.
• A timer is provided with all GS Series Grill Stations. This timer should be used as a guide only.

Warning: The timer does not turn off the heating elements when the bell sounds. Keep the lid closed when not cooking to minimize heat loss and avoid high temperatures in the handle. The thermostat can be turned down to 150°C to save power.

CAUTION
During Hotplate Mode the heat from the bottom plate will flow upwards and warm the handle. Although it should not get too hot, care should be taken when touching the handle during and after the hotplate operation.
Additionally, when operating do not leave the plates open for extended periods while in Contact Grill Mode because the handle will become hot to the touch.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the Grill Station does not function check the following points before calling for service.

• The appliance is plugged in correctly and the power is switched on.

• The powerpoint is not faulty.

• The on/off switch is not in the OFF position.

• The thermostat is not set to OFF.

• The thermostat and on/off switch knob are not loose or broken, rendering the switches inoperable.

• Check ‘Circuit Protection’ regarding unwanted tripping of RCDs.
  If the top plate is toasting faster than the bottom plate.

• Check that there is no carbon build-up on the bottom plate. Carbon on the plates will act as an insulator and reduce toasting performance. Refer to “Cleaning Care & Maintenance”.

If the top plate is not toasting

• Check that the unit is not switched to “Hotplate mode” .

CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Kitchen appliances must be backed up by the necessary level of circuit protection to comply with AS/NZ3000. A GSA must be cabled into a circuit backed up by a Residual  Current Device (RCD), which is a protective device that automatically disconnects the live conductors of a circuit when an earth leakage current reaches a predetermined value.  Australian and International Standards detail when and where RCDs are to be used in electrical installations, but common practice in many countries is to use 30mA RCDs in general commercial applications.
For commercial installations and for socket outlets providing power to commercial heating equipment, 30mA RCDs are typically unsuitable unless they are protecting only one device.
Higher-rated RCDs should’ve considered protecting multiple socket outlets, giving appropriate consideration to the type of equipment being protected.
AS/NZS3000 2.5.2 gives the following warnings that should have been taken into consideration when an RCD circuit was installed.
To avoid unwanted tripping due to leakage currents and transient disturbances, care should be taken to ensure that the sum of the leakage currents of electrical equipment on the load side of an RCD is less than 1/3 of its rated residual current.
Tubular elements reaching temperatures greater than 110°C are subject to moisture absorption and therefore earth leakage current generation.
Should the installation and use of this unit trip an RCD the unit will need to be run on a circuit without an RCD for approximately 30-60 minutes, after which time the elements should have dried out and the machine should function normally.
