Grilling times

In the table at the end of this booklet you nd some types of food you can cook on this table grill.

The table shows which temperature to select and how long the food has to be grilled. The time

required to heat up the appliance has not been included in the grilling times indicated in the table.

The grilling time and temperature depend on the type of food that you prepare (e.g. meat), its

thickness and its temperature and also on your own taste. You can also refer to the indications on

the thermostat unit.

Tips

- The ribbed section of the grilling plate is ideal for preparing meat and poultry (Fig. 6).

- The at section of the grilling plate is ideal for preparing sh, eggs, ham, mushrooms, tomatoes,

onions, etc. It is also handy for keeping food hot (Fig. 7).

- You can also use the table grill as a thermostatically controlled hotplate that automatically keeps

your dishes at the required temperature. Cover the ribbed section of the plate with aluminium

foil with the shiny side facing upwards. Then set the temperature control to position 2 or 3.

- Tender pieces of meat are best suited for grilling.

- Pieces of meat such as steaks or spare rib chops become more tender if marinated overnight.

- Turn the food from time to time with the spatula/tongs provided to ensure that it remains juicy

inside and does not dry out. Do not use any metal tools like forks or grill tongs as they damage

the non-stick coating of the grilling plate.

- Do not turn the grilled food too frequently. When the items are brown on both sides, grill them

at a lower temperature to ensure they do not dry out and are cooked more evenly.

- If you want to defrost frozen food, wrap the frozen food in aluminium foil and set the

temperature control to position 3 or 4. Turn the food from time to time. The defrosting time

depends on the weight of the food.

- When you prepare satay, chicken, pork or veal, rst sear the meat at a high temperature

(position 5). If necessary, you can then set the temperature control one position lower and grill

the food until it is done.

- When you make satay or kebab, soak bamboo or wooden skewers in water to prevent them

from getting scorched during grilling. Do not use metal skewers.

- Sausages tend to burst when they are being grilled. To prevent this, punch a few holes in them

with a fork.

- Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat. Do not put salt on the

meat until after you have grilled it. This helps to keep the meat juicy. For the best result, make

sure the pieces of meat you prepare are not too thick (approx. 1.5cm).

This table grill is not suitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.

Cleaning

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

1 Set the temperature control to the ‘OFF’ position.

2 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.

3 Pull the thermostat unit out of the appliance (Fig. 8).

4 Wipe the thermostat unit with a damp cloth.

Do not immerse the thermostat unit with mains cord in water or any other liquid.

5 Remove excess oil from the grilling plate with a piece of kitchen paper before you remove

the grilling plate for cleaning.
