INSTALLING THE GRILL

1.Before using the grill, make sure that it has not been damaged in any way during transportation.

2.Place the appliance on a flat surface well out of the reach of children, as high temperatures are generated during use.

3.Before plugging the appliance into the outlet, check that:

the supply voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fitted on the appliance;

the power on the outlet is minimum 12,5 A;

the outlet is suitable for the type of plug fitted on the appliance; if not it should be changed;

the outlet is grounded. The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damage caused as a result of non-compliance with this requirement (only for Canada).

4Before using the grill for the first time, switch it on and let it heat up in the bar- becue grill position (pos.1) without any food, for at least 5 minutes; open the window in order to eliminate any unpleasant smell that tends to be given off when an appliance is new.

USING THE APPLIANCE

-Plug into the outlet and adjust the thermostat (H) to the required position. The ON/OFF indicator light (L) will come on. Pre-heat the appliance with the grill pla- tes closed.

-When the appliance has reached the required temperature, the "READY" indicator light (I) will come on.

-Place the food to be grilled on the grill plates.

-Place the oil and grease drainage cup (N) under the oil and grease drainage chan- nel.

-To turn the appliance off, turn the thermostat knob counter-clockwise until it stops and unplug from the outlet.

-After cooking, unplug the appliance and leave to cool.

-The release catch (B) enables the appliance to be closed (position 2) for easy transport.

-The appliance has a hinged top plate to adapt to foods of any thickness.

Never touch the plates with sharp implements as this could damage the coating.

COOKING TIPS

-Thawed and marinated meat should be dried thoroughly before being placed on the grill.

-Meat should be seasoned before grilling but salt can be added at time of serving.

-Food which is to be contact-grilled should be uniformly thick to ensure even browning.

-When cooking fish, the bottom plate (F) must always be greased.

-A number of recipes suitable for the grill have been provided.

Please note that the cooking times given are only approximate.

They may vary, depending on the food being cooked (temperature prior to cooking, water content) and individual preference.
