The grill
We suggest that you run the grill without food for approximately 5 - 10 minutes to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
For your safety
You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit. Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children should be kept away. Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires.
Heat control
The grill gives variable heat settings. The control knob turns to the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. The high setting should be used for fast cooking such as toast. Use a lower setting to cook thicker foods such as chicken after it has been browned on the high setting. You should remember to turn the food regularly. You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food. The grill pan should be used on the shelf without the metal plate underneath it. The shelf can be positioned in any of the runner positions. You can reverse the grill pan grid to suit different types of food. If you close the door whilst the grill burner is lit, it will go out and you will hear a continuous 'sparking'. The burner will automatically relight when you open the door.
