-- Contact grill position and oven grill position: put the food in the middle of the lower grilling plate.

-- Barbecue grill position: spread the food on top of the grilling surface. Turn the food from time to time with a wooden or plastic spatula.

8Close the grill (only for contact grill and oven grill positions).

-- Contact grill position: lower the upper grilling plate carefully onto the

ingredients.The upper grilling plate now rests on the food. In this way,

the food is grilled evenly on both sides (Fig. 12).

-- Oven grill position: pull the upper grilling plate up to its highest position

(1)and then put it in horizontal position (2).The upper grilling plate must not touch the food (Fig. 13).

9Open the appliance when the required grilling time has elapsed (only for contact grill and oven grill positions).

10Remove the food with a wooden or plastic spatula. Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils.

11If you want to grill another batch of food, remove excess oil from the plates with a piece of kitchen paper.

12Wait until the green ready-to-cook light goes on (HD4408/HD4469 only) or the temperature light goes out (HD4407/HD4467 only) before you put the food on the grilling plate or plates.

Grilling times

At the beginning of this booklet, you find a food table with ingredients you

can prepare with the grill.The table gives indications of which temperature

to select, how long the food has to be grilled and the appropriate position

of the grill.The time necessary to preheat the appliance is not included in the indicated grilling time.

The actual grilling time and temperature depend on the type of food that is

prepared (e.g. meat), its thickness and its temperature and also on your own

taste. See also the indications on the grill.

Tips

-- Lightly grease the food to be grilled (instead of the grilling plates) with a little butter or oil.This prevents excess butter or oil from smoking.

-- The grill is unsuitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.

-- Sausages tend to burst when you grill them.To prevent this, punch a few holes in them with a fork.

-- For the best result, make sure the pieces of meat you use are not too thick (approx. 1.5cm).

-- Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat. -- When you prepare satay, chicken, pork or veal, first sear the meat at a high temperature (setting 5). Then set the temperature control one

position lower and grill the food until it is done.

-- If you want to defrost frozen food, put the appliance in the oven grill position, wrap the frozen food in aluminium foil. Set the temperature

control to setting 1 or 2.The defrosting time depends on the weight of the food.

Cleaning

Never use abrasive cleaning agents and materials, as this damages the non-stick coating of the plates.

Never immerse the appliance in water.

1Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.

2Remove excess oil from the plates with a piece of kitchen paper before you remove the plates.

3Remove the grilling plates (Fig. 15).

To remove the plates, press on the fixing clips on the appliance and then lift

the plates out of the appliance.

4Clean the grilling plates and the grease tray with a soft cloth

or sponge in hot water with some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher (Fig. 16).

Soak the grilling plates in hot water for five minutes with some washing-up

liquid to remove residues.This loosens any caked food or grease.

5Dry the grilling plates and reassemble them (Fig. 17). -- Put the appliance in the barbecue grill position.

-- Place the rear edge of the grilling plates on the appliance (1). Lower the grilling plates onto the appliance and press them down under the fixing clip (2).

6Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
