BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove all packing material and any stickers.
Remove and save literature.
Wash all removable parts as instructed in “Care and Cleaning” section of this manual.
Wipe cooking surface with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Select location where unit is to be used, leaving enough space between back of unit and wall to allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets and walls.

INTRODUCTION

The grill and griddle are independent. Each one can be used on its own, or both of them together. Each has its own temperature control and light.
Each temperature control is marked 0 (off) to 3 (max).
The grill and griddle lights will come on when the selected temperature is reached then cycle on and off as the temperature is maintained.

PREPARATION

Slide the drip tray between the two runners underneath the front of the grill (FIG A). Slide the tray all the way in. The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run off the plates during cooking.
Set the grill control and the griddle control to O.
Put the plug into the power socket.

USING THE GRIDDLE

Use the griddle to fry anything that might be flattened in the grill. The griddle cooks on one side only. Turn the food if cooking on both sides is desired.
Turn the griddle control. The power light will come on.
When the griddle light comes on lay the food on the griddle with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.
Check if it is cooked. If in doubt, continue to cook it a bit more.
When cooking is finished, set the temperature control to O and unplug the appliance.

USING THE GRILL

The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.
The grill plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.
Slide the drip tray between the two runners underneath the front of grill (FIG A). Slide the tray all the way in. The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run off the plates during cooking.
Put the plug into the power socket.
Turn the grill control to the desired setting. The power light will come on.
When the grill light comes on use an oven glove to open the grill.
Lay the food on the bottom grill plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.
Close the grill.
Check if it is cooked. If in doubt, continue to cook it a bit more.
When cooking is finished, set the temperature control to O and unplug the appliance. Empty the drip tray as required iinto a heatproof bowl. Wipe it clean with kitchen paper.

CARE

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. DO NOT IMMERSE CORD OR PLUG IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
CAUTION: To avoid accidental burns, allow grill to cool thoroughly before cleaning.

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning or storing away.
Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
Use a paper towel moistened with a little cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.
Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water, or in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Don’t use scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.
At the places where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may
show signs of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.

STORAGE

Unplug unit, allow to cool and clean before storing. Store in a clean, dry place. Never
store Grill & Griddle while it is hot or still plugged in. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance as this could cause the cord to fray and break.
Legislation in some localities mandates that e-waste (anything with a plug, battery or cord) is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in general household waste. For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated appliances, please contact your local council or your local household waste disposal service.

COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY

Use these times purely as a guide. They’re for fresh or fully defrosted food. When cooking frozen foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood, and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending on the thickness and density of the food.
When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.
