•With the lid open, you can see what’s happening, so you have full control over the grilling process.
•With the lid closed, you have less control, but you waste less heat. Steam building up inside the lid will help cook the food faster.
NOTE: Take care when you open the lid – moisture may drip from the inside of the lid on to the grill plate, and this may cause spitting.
•Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) until the juices run clear. Cook fish until the flesh is opaque throughout.
•Check it’s cooked. If you’re in doubt, cook it a bit more. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the food.
•Don’t leave food to cool on the grill – remove it while it’s still hot. The
•Use the oven glove to open the grill.
•Use your plastic or wooden spatula/tongs to remove the food.
•When you’ve finished, turn the temperature control to 0, unplug the temperature control from the power socket or extension lead, and then remove it from the power inlet on the grill.
PRACTICAL HINTS
•The grilling times vary according to the nature of the food and to your personal taste.
•When grilling is finished, turn the temperature controller to OFF and take the plug out of the power socket and then remove the temperature control probe.
•Do not remove the cooking plate from the frame during use. Use the frame to carry or move the unit after cooling for at least 30 minutes.
•Frozen food should always be thawed before it is grilled.
•To grill meat, put the thermostat in its maximum position and preheat the grill. For other ingredients, choose the temperature accordingly.
•If you grill vegetables, fish or lean meat, spray the grilling surface with a cooking spray. If you are grilling meat with any amount of fat, or if the food has been marinated, there is no need to treat the grill prior to cooking.
