Tips for grilling
- Your meat will be tendered if you marinade it overnight before cooking (the marinade is always made of oil (to and moistness), vinegar (to tenderize) and a mixture of seasonings).
- Always use tongs or some form of scoop to turn the grilled food (using a fork to turn the food will dry it out and damage the non-stick coating).
- Only turn meat and fish once during grilling. You do not need to turn it more than once and too much turning dries food out.
- Never cook meat for too long. Even pork is better if it is served when it is still somewhat pink and juicy.
- If cooked food sticks to the grill plate, rub the plate with a piece of kitchen paper soaked in oil from time to time.

- Disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply.
- Allow the grill to cool completely.
- Take the detachable temperature regulator (13) out of the appliance socket.
