Cleaning And Maintenance - Philips HD6372/94 Manual Del Usuario

Note: If you grill very fatty ingredients, you will still notice some smoke coming off the food, but much less
than with a conventional electric table grill.
6 When the food is done, remove it from the grid or turn the control knob to the keep-warm
position if you want to eat the food later. (Fig. 8)
Use a spatula or a pair of tongs to remove the food. Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen
utensils.
7 Loosen any caked food or grease carefully with a spatula and remove excess oil from the
drip tray before you grill the next batch of food.
8 To continue grilling, place the next batch of food on the grid.
9 When you have finished grilling, switch off the appliance (1) and remove the plug from the
wall socket (2). (Fig. 9)
Grilling times (Fig. 10)
In the food table you find some types of food you can cook on this table grill. The table shows how
long the food has to be grilled (not including any heating up time for the appliance). 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.
Tips
- Tender pieces of meat are best suited for grilling.
- Pieces of meat such as steaks become more tender if marinated overnight.
- Turn the food only once with a spatula or a pair of tongs 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 grids.
- Do not turn the grilled food too frequently.
- 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, cut the skin a few times
lengthwise.
- 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 and maintenance

Never use abrasive cleaning agents and materials, as this damages the non-stick coating of the grids.
1 Set the control knob to the off position and unplug the appliance (Fig. 9).
2 Let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes (Fig. 11).
3 Remove excess oil from the grid with a piece of kitchen paper before you remove the grid
for cleaning.
4 Lift the grid from the base by its handgrips (Fig. 12).
