6 Don’t put the grill in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.<br />
7 Don’t use the grill unless grill plates are fitted to both elements.<br />
8 Some parts aren’t as hot as others, but they’re all hot.<br />
Don’t touch – use oven gloves or a folded towel.<br />
9 Look out for this “caution – hot surface” symbol.<br />
10 Sit the grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, near a power socket.<br />
11 Bread, oil, and other foods may burn. Don’t use the grill near or below curtains or<br />
other combustible materials, and watch it while in use.<br />

efore using for the first time<br />
1 Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.<br />
which grill plates to use?<br />
2 Decide which grill plates you want to use.<br />
top plate this must be fitted to the top element, whether the ribbed plate or pizza<br />
plate is fitted to the bottom element<br />
ribbed plate to grill meat, sausages, and anything that might give off fat<br />
pizza plate for non-fatty items, for baking, and for things like eggs, omelettes, filled<br />
pancakes, filled pittas, small calzone, and batters (like Yorkshire pudding)<br />
that need a flat surface<br />
wrap plates for quesadillas, tortillas, and other wraps<br />
the grill plates<br />
3 The top plate is marked “UP” on the side that faces the element. Fit it to the top element,<br />
with the “UP” to your right – it won’t fit the other way round.<br />
4 Fit the ribbed plate to the bottom element, with the overhang at the front.<br />
5 Fit the pizza plate to the bottom element, with the single pillar at the rear.<br />
6 The wrap plates are identical. Use them as a pair, on both top and bottom elements.<br />
fitting the grill plates<br />
7 Fit one plate at a time.<br />
a) grip the handles at either side of the plate<br />
b) slide the upper central parts of the handles outwards (marked “RELEASE”)<br />
c) fit the grill plate over the element, with the handles over the indents<br />
d) release the handles, to lock the plate in place<br />
e) fit the other plate the same way<br />
removing the grill plates<br />
8 Remove one plate at a time.<br />
a) grip the handles<br />
b) slide the upper central parts of the handles outwards<br />
c) lift the plate off the grill<br />
d) remove the other plate the same way<br />
tilted or flat?<br />
9 Decide whether you want the grill tilted, so that fat and juices run down to the drip tray,<br />
or flat, for eggs, pizza, and other “runny” foods.<br />
caution don’t touch the body of the grill, it may be hot – use oven gloves<br />
10 Close the grill<br />
11 Push the handle down, towards the work surface, to raise the rear of the grill<br />
tilt use the other hand to pull the tilt support out from under the rear of the grill<br />
flat use the other hand to push the tilt support under the rear of the grill<br />
12 Release the handle, to lower the grill and rest the tilt support on the work surface<br />
preparation<br />
13 Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, so it catches any run-off.<br />
14 Open the grill, wipe the plates with a little cooking oil or butter, then close it. Don’t use<br />
low fat spread – it may burn on to the grill.<br />

power up<br />
15 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).<br />
16 The red power light will glow to show the grill is connected to the electricity supply.<br />
17 Slide the temperature control to the setting you need – from 1 (low) to 5 (high).<br />
18 The green ready light will glow. It’ll go off when the grill reaches working temperature,<br />
then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains the temperature.<br />
19 Wait till the green ready light is out before cooking.<br />
fill the grill<br />
20 Put on your oven gloves, open the grill, and lay the food on the bottom plate.<br />
21 Use a spatula or tongs, not fingers.<br />
22 Don’t use anything metal or sharp, you’ll damage the non-stick surfaces.<br />
23 Close the grill. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.<br />
24 The plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.<br />
25 Wait till the food has cooked.<br />
remove the food<br />
26 Open the grill – use the oven gloves.<br />
27 Check the food is cooked – if you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.<br />
28 Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear.<br />
29 Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.<br />
30 Remove the cooked food with wooden or plastic tools.<br />
finished?<br />
31 Unplug the grill (switch the socket off first, if it’s switchable).<br />
more?<br />
32 Put on the oven glove, empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl, then give it a wipe<br />
with kitchen paper, and put it under the front of the grill.<br />
care and maintenance<br />
33 Unplug the grill and let it cool before cleaning and storing away.<br />
34 Open the grill.<br />
35 Remove one plate at a time.<br />
36 After removing the plates, wash them in warm soapy water, or in a dishwasher.<br />
37 Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth. Use a paper towel moistened with a little<br />
cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.<br />
38 Dry the plates before replacing them on the grill.<br />
39 Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water, or in the top rack of the dishwasher.<br />
40 Don’t put the grill in water or any other liquid<br />
41 Don’t use abrasive cleaning agents, solvents, scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.<br />
Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs<br />
of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.<br />
This appliance is for household use only<br />

cooking times & food safety<br />
Use these times purely as a guide. They’re for fresh or fully defrosted food cooked at<br />
setting 4 or above, using the top plate and the ribbed plate. When cooking frozen<br />
foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood, and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending<br />
on the thickness and density of the food.<br />
Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more.<br />
Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear.<br />
Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.<br />
When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.<br />

These tasty little “pasties” are lightly fried before serving. Do not over crowd the pan. Although usually<br />
made from traditional “masa” (corn flour), they are still delicious served with flour tortillas.<br />
Make up tortillas according to basic recipe, but 10cm in size.<br />
RELLENO WITH POTATO AND SPICY SAUSAGE FILLING Makes about 2 1/2 cups<br />

Although Australians usually serve it as a dip, this popular recipe accompanies<br />
many dishes in Mexican and South American cuisine. This is a traditional version<br />
and is excellent served with tortillas which have been “crisped” in the tortilla pan<br />
or very lightly fried and then broken or cut into small pieces. The avocados should be<br />
very ripe and mashed with a fork, not in a food processor.<br />
GUACAMOLE<br />
Combine all ingredients. Use freshly cooked tortillas or reheat slightly to soften sufficiently to roll.<br />
Serve on mixed baby greens with a bowl of light sour cream on the side.<br />
