TOP GRILL PLATE OPERATING POSITIONS

• This contact grill can be used with the top grill plate A4 positioned in three different positions.
• In the automatic mode, the grill can only be used with the top grill plate A 4 tilted down. In the manual mode, the grill can be used with the top grill plate A4 tilted down, tilted open vertically or flush with the bottom grill plate A6. When using the grill with the top grill plate A4 set to the vertical position, it is necessary to tilt it up fully.
• To tilt open the top grill plate A4 to be flush with the bottom grill plate A6, proceed as follows. When the top grill plate A 4 is tilted down or slightly elevated above the bottom grill plate A6, use the index finger on one hand to hold down button A9 and with the other hand tilt open the top grill plate A4 using the handle A2 so that the handle A2 rests on the tabletop or kitchen countertop. This doubles the grilling area. After tilting open the top grill plate A4, release button A9. The top grill plate A4 may only be set flush with the bottom grill plate A6 when the grill is disconnected from the power socket and cooled down.

REMOVING AND ATTACHING THE GRILL PLATES

• Prior to removing or attaching the grill plates, the grill must be turned off, disconnected from the power socket and have cooled down. Using the handle A2, fully tilt open the top grill plate cover A1 to the vertical position.
• To remove the top grill plate A4, use the index finger on one hand to hold down button A3 and remove the grill plate A4 using the other hand. After removing the top grill plate A4, release button A3. In the same way, remove the bottom grill plate A6. To release the bottom grill plate A6, use button A5.
• To attach it, insert the top grill plate A4 into the top cover A1 so that the tabs on the rear part of the cover A1 slide into the rear edge of the top grill plate A4. Then push the top grill plate A4 against the  cover A1 so that the clip and the contacts of the heating element on the underside of the top grill plate A 4 slide into place in the cover A1. In the same way, attach the bottom grill plate A6 to the base A10.

Attention:
Before attaching the grill plates A4 and A6 to the grill, make sure that they are completely dry.

Note:
Grill plates A4 and A6 are fully interchangeable.

NON-STICK COATING ON THE GRILL PLATES

• The grill plates on the contact grill have a special non-stick surface coating. This coating enables you to prepare healthier meals while using a minimum amount of fat or oil.

• To place food on to a grill plate or to remove it, use wooden or heat resistant plastic kitchen utensils

• Do not use sharp or metal kitchen utensils and do not cut the food directly on the grill plate.
  The manufacturer takes no responsibility for damage to the surface of the grill plates caused by inappropriate use.

• A change in the colour of the surface of the grill plates has no effect on the functionality of the appliance.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove the contact grill from the packaging material and remove all promotional materials from it including labels which may be located on the grill plates. Wipe the grill plates A4 and A6 using a clean, lightly dampened cloth with the addition of a small amount of neutral kitchen detergent. After applying the detergent, thoroughly wipe the grill plates A4 and A6 using a clean, lightly dampened cloth and wipe them dry. Remove the removable drip tray A8 from the rear part of the base A10. Wash it in warm water using a neutral kitchen detergent and then rinse it under a current of clean warm water. Wipe it dry and put it back in its place.
• The grill plates A4 and A6 and the removable drip tray A8 can also be washed in a dishwasher (in the upper rack).

Attention:
Before attaching the grill plates A4 and A6 to the grill, make sure that they are completely dry.

• Do not rinse the grill or its power cord under running water or submerge it in water or any in other liquid.

USING THE CONTACT GRILL

• Check that the removable drip tray A8 is correctly seated in the base A 10 and that both the grill plates A4 and A6 are properly installed in place. We recommend smearing the grill plates A4 and A6 with a small amount of cooking oil.
• Unwind the full length of the power cord and connect it to a power socket. The connection of the appliance to a power socket is indicated by a sound and the control panel A7 lighting up briefly.

AUTOMATIC GRILLING MODE

• In this mode, the grill can only be used with the top grill plate A4 tilted down.
• Check that the top grill plate A4 is titled down and then press button B1 to put the grill into the stand-by mode. LED indicators B4-B6 gradually light up and turn off.
• Press one of the buttons B3 to select a suitable food category. The respective button B3 will be lit and at the same time all the LED indicators will start flashing.
• To confirm the settings, press the button B7. LED indicators B5 and B6 will turn off. LED indicator B4 will start flashing and the grill plate preheating phase will start.

Note:
If no settings are made or they are not confirmed, the grill will automatically turn itself off after 10 minutes.
When first turned on, there may be light smoke emitted. This is a completely normal event.

• The preheating phase takes several minutes and its completion is indicated by a sound. Now the grill is ready for grilling. This is signalled by LED indicator B4 being lit and LED indicator B5 flashing.
• Using the handle A2, fully tilt open the top grill plate A4 to the vertical position. It is necessary to tilt open the top grill plate all the way so that the subsequent food thickness detection phase can be correctly performed. Place the food that you wish to grill on to the bottom grill plate A6, and tilt the top grill plate A4 down using the handle A2. When inserting food, opening and closing the grill, be especially careful not to burn yourself on the hot surface of the appliance.

Attention:
When the grill is not opened for the purpose of inserting food or when it is not locked after food is placed on the grill plate A6, a sound will be made after a few minutes as a reminder that food needs to be placed in the grill or the top grill plate A4 needs to be tilted down. If you do not do so, the grill will turn itself off automatically after several minutes. This is indicated by a sound.

• When the top grill plate A4 is tilted down, the grill automatically detects the thickness of the food within 3 seconds and starts the automatic grilling mode. LED indicators B4 and B5 are lit and LED indicator B6 (RARE) is flashing. The grilling time and temperature are adjusted for the selected category and measured food thickness.
• To achieve the best results, it is recommended not to open the grill frequently during the food cooking phase. The status of the food is indicated by the respective LED indicator B6. Cooking to a certain doneness level is indicated by the flashing LED indicator B6. When a given doneness level is reached, this is indicated by a sound and the respective LED indicator B6 being lit. The achievement of the rare doneness level is indicated by the “RARE” LED indicator being lit. The achievement of the medium doneness level is indicated by the “RARE” and “MEDIUM” LED indicators being lit, and the achievement of the well done doneness level is indicated by the “RARE”, “MEDIUM” and “WELL DONE” LED indicators being lit. The resulting doneness level may differ depending on the quality and type of food.
• When the desired result is achieved, remove the food from the grill. You may prepare meals with varying levels of doneness in a single batch. Always after removing a part of the food, do not forget to close the grill so that the cooking phase for the remaining food can finish correctly. The grill must not be left without supervision while it is in operation. When the highest level of doneness is achieved, a sound is made and the grill turns off automatically. When you remove all the food from the grill before it turns off automatically and you will no longer be using it, turn it off manually by pressing button B1.
• If you wish to cook more meals, first make sure that the grill plate A6 is completely empty and close the grill. Then turn the grill on again and follow the procedure described in the previous instructions. Residual heat may result in the situation where upon repeated use the preheating phase may be shorter in duration.
• In the automatic mode “FROZEN FOOD”, the thickness of the food is not detected. When the preheating phase is complete, the grill immediately enters the food defrosting mode. When the food defrosting phase is finished, the grill will automatically switch to the stand-by mode. In the event of inactivity, the grill will automatically turn itself off after 10 minutes.

MANUAL GRILLING MODE

• In the manual mode, the grill can be used with the top grill plate A4 tilted down, tilted open vertically or flush with the bottom grill plate A6.

• To turn on the grill, press button B1.

• In the event that the top grill plate A4 is tilted down, LED indicators B4-B6 will gradually light up and turn off. To set the manual grilling mode, press button B2. LED indicators B5 and B6 will start flashing.
  This signalises that the manual grilling mode is set.

• If the top grill plate A4 is tilted open, the grill will automatically switch to the manual grilling mode within a few moments and LED indicators B5 and B6 will start flashing.

• To start the manual grilling mode, press button B7. LED indicators B5-B6 will turn off, LED indicator B4 will start flashing and the grill plate heating to a preset temperature phase will start.

• When the preset temperature is reached, a sound is made and LED indicators B5 and B6 will start flashing.
  Place the food that you wish to grill on to the grill plate. In the manual grilling mode, regularly check the condition of the food. When the desired result is achieved, remove the food from the grill. The grill must not be left without supervision while it is in operation. When inserting and removing food, opening and closing the grill, be especially careful not to burn yourself on the hot surface of the appliance.

• Turn off the grill by pressing button B1.

• When you have finished using the grill, always turn it off, disconnect it from the power socket and allow it to cool down. After it has cooled down, clean it according to the instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.

TIPS FOR GRILLING MEAT AND SMOKED GOODS

• To achieve optimal results, cut the meat into equally thick slices.

• To prevent meat from becoming tough and dried out, it is recommended not to salt it prior to grilling it.
  It is recommended to salt and season the food with spices only after it has been cooked.

• Before grilling marinated meat, pat it down with paper towels to remove excess marinade. Certain types of marinades may have a large sugar content which may subsequently burn on.

• When grilling, do not puncture the meat so that juices do not run out of it, making it tough and dry.

• Do not dry out the meat by grilling it for too long.

• Always make sure that chicken meat is thoroughly cooked.

• You do not have to prick pre-cooked hot dogs before grilling them.

• We do not recommend using the contact grill for grilling meat with thick bones, such as bone-in pork chops.
