Tips
� The grill section of the plate is ideal for preparing meat and poultry. Fat and juice drip
through the grill into the drip tray, which ensures almost smoke-free grilling and healthy,
low-fat food (fig. 7).
� The hotplate section is ideal for preparing fish, eggs, ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions,
etc. It is also very handy for keeping food hot (fig. 8).
� You can also use the table grill as a thermostatically controlled hotplate that automatically
keeps your dishes at the required temperature. Cover the grill section of the plate with
aliminium foil with the shiny side facing upwards and 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 a wooden or plastic spatula or 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 could damage the non-stick coating of the grilling plate.
� The grilled food should not be turned too frequently. When the items are brown on both
sides, they should be grilled 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 are preparing satay, chicken, pork or veal, first 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 making 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 will help to keep the meat juicy. For the best result,
make sure the pieces of meat you are going to prepare are not too thick (approx. 1.5 cm).
This table grill is not suitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.
Cleaning
Never use abrasive cleaning agents and materials, as this will damage the non-stick coating of the
plate.
Do not immerse the mains cord with thermostat unit in water or any other liquid.
1 Set the temperature control to the 'off' position.
2 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
3 Remove the thermostat unit by pulling it out of the appliance (fig. 9).
4 Remove the safety shield from the grilling plate (fig. 10).
5 Remove the grilling plate by lifting it from the base by its handgrips. The grilling plate cannot
be removed if the thermostat unit is still inserted in the appliance (fig. 11).
