BASIC GRILLING
Use the basic grilling function for simple grilling, panini, sandwiches, etc.
• Sit your grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from cupboards, curtains, etc.
• Slide the drip tray between the two runners underneath the front of your grill (FIG B). Slide the tray all the way in. The drip tray will collect any fat or
juices that run off the plates during cooking.
• Decided whether you want the grill level or tilted —see TILTING/LEVELLING THE GRILL.
1. Plug the grill in. The grill will beep and the red power light will flash slowly.
Press the 2 button. If you don't press the 2 button within 2 minutes, your grill will enter sleep mode and the red power light will stop flashing. Press
2.
the 2 button again to wake your grill.
3. The light above the temperature (t) button will come on and the display will show 175 (default). The default temperature units are in ºC which can
be changed to ºF if desired—see CHANGING TEMPERATURE UNITS.
Set the temperature you require using the u and d buttons. The range is from 150ºC to 220ºC in 5º steps (302ºF to 428ºF in 9º steps).
4.
5. While your grill is heating up, the light above the temperature button will light up red, and the figures on the display will flash. When your grill has
reached the selected temperature, the light will turn green, the display will stop flashing and your grill will beep three times. During cooking, this
sequence will be repeated as your grill maintains the temperature. This is normal.
6. When the selected temperature has been reached place the food onto the grill and close the lid.
7. When you have finished cooking press the 2 button then unplug the grill.
• You can adjust the temperature at any time using the u and d buttons.
• Check that the food is cooked. If you're in any doubt, cook it a bit more.
• Wear oven gloves or similar protection.
• Remove the cooked food with wooden or plastic tools.
• The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.
• The grill plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.
• When necessary, use an oven glove and empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl. Wipe it with kitchen paper then replace it under the front of the
grill.
SIMPLE STEAK FUNCTION
The simple steak function combines your grill's sear feature with the temperature probe to provide a simple method to cook great tasting, juicy steaks.
1. Connect the temperature probe to your grill (FIG D).
2. Press the 2 button.

3. Press the probe ( ) button then press the sear (P) button once, twice or three times depending on how you want your steak cooked:
• Once for rare (display will show ccc)
• Twice for medium (display will show bbb)
• Three times for well done (display will show aaa)
4. Allow your grill to heat up. While the grill is heating up, insert the tempertaure probe into the thickest part of the steak. When it's ready, the light
above the sear button will turn green and your grill will beep three times.
5. Open your grill and carefully lay the steak onto the lower plate.
6. Close your grill.
7. When the steak is cooked, your grill will beep five times. Open the grill and remove the steak straight away otherwise it will continue cooking and
may become overcooked.
8. To cancel the function at any time, press the 2 button.
Tips for perfect steaks
• Always allow the steaks to come up to room temperature before cooking. Don't try to cook them straight from the fridge.
• Pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper before placing on the grill.
• Season just before cooking. Be sparing with the salt or leave it out altogether (you can always add salt for flavour after cooking). Salting before
cooking can draw water to the surface of the steak where it will boil during cooking. The steak will be steamed rather than seared, and will be grey
instead of brown.
• Resting steaks after cooking is crucial for the best results. Allow them to rest for a minimum of 3 minutes before serving. Correct resting allows the
juices within the meat to be reabsorbed giving a tasty, succulent steak.
SEAR FUNCTION
The sear function raises the temperature to 260ºC for 90 seconds.
The sear funtion works best with close-grained red meat like beef, buffalo, bison, lamb, venison, etc., cut into steaks (across the grain of the meat). The
meat should be between 5 mm and 25 mm thick.
1. Press the 2 button.
Press the sear (P) button. The light above the sear button will light up red and the display will show 260.
2.
3. When your grill has reached the sear temperature, the light will turn green, the display will stop flashing and your grill will beep three times.
4. Wear an oven glove and open the grill. Place the food onto the bottom grill plate, then close the grill.
5. Wait till the grill beeps again (after 90 seconds) then open the grill and remove the food.
You can repeat the sear function four times one after the other but if you try to use it more than this the display will show "EAA" (Error). Press the 2
6.
button and allow your grill to cool for 10 minutes before using the sear function again.
7. At the end of the sear function, your grill will revert to the previously set temperature.
8. To cancel the sear function at any time, press the 2 button.
The outside surfaces of the food will be seared to a deep brown, while the inside should be rare to medium rare (depending on the thickness of the food).
You now have the option of removing the food right away, (for rare or medium), or leaving it to cook at the default temperature for a little longer if you
want the meat more well done.
