Operating

3

Your grill/press features a special

scratch and abrasive-resistant

non-stick coating that makes it

safe to use metal utensils when

cooking.

Regardless of this fact, we recom-

mend that care is taken with the

non-stick coating particularly when

using metal utensils.

Do not use sharp objects or cut

food on top of the grill/press. We

will not be liable for damage to the

non-stick coating where metal

utensils have been misused.

1

Caution: Ensure you use the han-

dle (Fig. 1/E) to open the top grill

plate. Avoid touching hot surfaces.

Before using for the first time

0 Before using your appliance for the

first time, wipe the bottom and top

plate with a damp cloth and dry.

0 Then the non-stick cooking plates

must be seasoned. Plug the power

cable into a power outlet. Turn the

temperature dial to „Contact Grill“

and pre-heat until the green Ready

Light (Fig. 1/G) illuminates.

0 Unplug the appliance from the

power outlet and let cool down.

0 Wipe a small amount of butter,

margarine or oil onto the plates,

rub lightly and wipe away any

excess.

When using your grill/press for the

first time you may notice a fine

smoke haze being emitted from

the unit. This is normal. It is due to

the initial heating of internal com-

ponents.

Using your Contact Grill and

Sandwich Press

0 Plug the power cable into a power

outlet.

1

Ensure that the cable is kept well

away from the cooking plates

when in use.

0 Detach the drip tray from the

underside of the appliance. Place it

under the outlet of the sloping bot-

tom plate to allow the fats and

juices to drain into the drip tray.

0 Select your desired temperature

setting to suit the type of food you

wish to cook. Turn the temperature

dial to „Contact Grill“ or „Sand-

wich Press“.

Pre-heat until the green Ready

Light (Fig. 1/G) illuminates. While

heating up, the red Warm Up Light

(Fig. 1/F) is lit.

3

The Warm Up and Ready Lights

are thermostatically controlled and

will cycle on and off during cooking

to ensure that the correct tempera-

ture is maintained.

3

The Contact Grill and Sandwich

Press can be used to grill foods

with the top plate opened or

closed.

0 After you have completed grilling

or toasting, unplug the appliance

from the power outlet. Let cool it

down before cleaning.

Grilling Meats and Vegeta-

bles

0 Turn the temperature dial to „Con-

tact Grill“ and pre-heat until the

green Ready Light (Fig. 1/G) will

illuminate.

0 Always spray the grill plates with

cooking spray before placing

meat, seafood or vegetables onto

the grill plate.

0 Gently lower the lid (if desired)

using the handle (Fig. 1/E).

3

The floating hinge system will

adjust automatically ensuring the

top cooking plate lies evenly on

your food for perfect grilling every

time.

0 If desired halfway through cooking

turn your food over to achieve

attractive grill marks on both the

top and bottom of your food.

0 When cooking some foods you

may want to re-spray the top grill

plate to prevent food from sticking.

3

The cooking plates are coated in a

durable high grade non-stick coat-

ing. Some foods that are mari-

nated or coated may cause the

food to stick to the grill plates.

0 To free the food use a heat-resi-

stant plastic spatula or wooden

spoon.

1

Never use sharp metal objects as

this will damage the non-stick sur-

face.

Toasting Sandwiches

0 Turn the temperature dial to

„Sandwich Press“ and pre-heat

until the green Ready Light (Fig. 1/

G) will illuminate.

0 Always butter the outside of the

bread. The sandwich filling will be

placed between the unbuttered

sides of the bread.

0 Place the buttered side of the

bread onto the cooking plate, then

spoon the recommended quantity

of filling onto the bread.

0 Place the top slice of bread on top

of the filling with the buttered side

facing upwards.

0 Gently close the lid using the

handle (Fig. 1/E).

3

Allow the sandwiches to toast for

approximately 3 minutes, depend-

ing on the bread, filling and per-

sonal taste. Your Contact Grill and

Sandwich Press toasts both sides

of bread at the same time.

Hints for best results

Hints for grilling

• Tender cuts of meat such as

scotch fillet and sirloin are ideal for

grilling. Tougher cuts of meat such

as topside or blade steak will ten-

derise if marinated for a few hours

or overnight.

• Avoid overcooking meat as the

texture will toughen.

• Recommended cuts:

– Beef: Sirloin, Rump, Rib Eye, Fil-

let or T-Bone

– Lamb: Leg Steak, Fillet, Loin or

Cutlets

– Pork: Butterfly Steaks, Spare

Ribs, Leg Steaks or Fillets

• You can also grill diced meat on

skewers for Kebabs.

• The grill/press can grill meats over

2.5 cm thickness with ease.

• Ideal for cooking a variety of

meats, including beef, fish and

poultry. Take care when grilling

fish, use a plastic spatula.

• The sloping grilling surface allows

the fats and juices to drain into the

drip tray for healthy, fat free cook-

ing.

• When cutting meats, chicken, veg-

etables and/or seafood for kebabs,

cut evenly and uniform in size to

ensure even cooking.

• Never cross - contaminate foods:

Do not cut raw vegetables and raw

meats with the same knife or on

the same chopping board.

Try to use separate chopping

boards for meats, vegetables and

seafood. Do not cut cooked meats

on the same chopping board as

you prepared the raw meat unless

the board and knife have been

thoroughly sanitised and cleaned

in hot soapy water.

• The large non-stick flat (bottom)

cooking plate is ideal for cooking a

variety of foods such as eggs,

bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and

onions.

Hints for toasting snacks

• Breads with a high sugar content

(fruit loaf, etc.) will toast more

quickly than plain sandwich

breads.

• Any type of bread can be used,

white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat

or wholegrain.

• For sweet snacks, sprinkle castor

sugar over the buttered sides of

the bread.

• When using raisin bread, brioche

or other sweet breads which con-

tain a high sugar content, keep in

mind that they will brown much

more quickly than other breads.

• For a wholesome meal, large

pieces of focaccia bread may be

toasted with desired filling.

• Bread rolls may also be toasted

with desired filling.

• For a light snack savoury or sweet

bagels may be toasted with

desired filling.

• It is not necessary to butter the

outside of all breads as the grill/

press has non-stick cooking

plates. However, to encourage

even browning of bread or when

using stale bread, spreading with a

small amount of butter is recom-

mended.

1

Be careful when biting into sand-

wiches containing fillings such as

cheese, tomato or jam as they

retain heat and can burn if eaten

too quickly.

Care and Cleaning

1

Do not use abrasive scouring pads

or powders.

Always clean after each use to pre-

vent a build up of cooking residue

on the grill.

Cleaning the cooking plates

The cooking plates are coated with

a non-stick surface, and there are

no dirt traps, therefore little clean-

ing is required.

1

When cleaning the non-stick coat-

ing do not use metal (or other

abrasive) scourers.

0 Once cooled, simply wipe the coo-

king plates with a dampened cloth.

0 After cleaning, dry the grill/press

and lid thoroughly with a soft cloth

before storing.

Cleaning the drip tray

1

Always allow the contents of the

drip tray to cool before removing

the tray from its position and dis-

carding the contents.

0 Wash the drip tray in warm soapy

water.

Cleaning the exterior

1

Do not use steel wool, scouring

pads or abrasive cleaners as these

will scratch the surface.

0 Simply wipe over with a dampened

cloth and polish dry with a dry soft

cloth.

Storage

Your grill/press will store in an

upright position in cupboards,

shelves or on the bench top (Fig. 2).

0

Simply bring the plates together and

located on the right cast metal arm,

turn the securing latch (Fig. 1/H).

This will lock the plates together.

0 Wrap the connection cord around

the cord storage at the underside

of the appliance.
