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.
1
Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2
Remove excess oil from the plates with a piece of kitchen paper before you remove the
plates.
3
Remove the grilling plates (Fig. 15).
