10.2 Preventing food from sticking
To prevent your food from sticking to the grill:
• Oil the food lightly with a brush before you put it on the grill.
You can also oil the grill itself.
• Preheat the appliance. The warmer the grill when you put
food on it, the less the food will stick.
• Do not turn the food too quickly. Let it catch some heat first
10.3 Direct and indirect grilling
Depending on the type of food you are preparing and on how
you want to prepare it, you can grill directly or indirectly:
Method Description
Put your food directly
Direct
above a lit burner, set
that burner to a high
position and keep the
lid open.
Indirect Put your food next to
a lit burner, set that
burner to a medium/
low position and close
the lid.
When grilling under a closed lid, always keep an eye on
the lid thermometer to make sure the appliance does not
get too hot. See "10.5 Watching the temperature".
10.4 Grilling with closed lid
Closing the lid while grilling has some important advantages:
• The temperature of the grill is higher and remains more
constant.
• You reduce the cooking time of your food and keep your
food more moist.
• You reduce flare-ups and save gas.
When grilling under a closed lid, always keep an eye on
the lid thermometer to make sure the appliance does not
get too hot. See "10.5 Watching the temperature".
10.5 Watching the temperature
Your appliance is equipped with powerful burners, so it heats
up rapidly and you can keep the temperature steady. When
grilling under a closed lid, however, you have to make sure
that the appliance does not get too hot. Keep an eye on the lid
thermometer and take into account the following guidelines:
• A normal cooking temperature is about 210 °C. At higher
temperatures, dripping and accumulated fat can ignite.
• The temperature should never be over 300 °C for more than
five minu es. This can damage and deform the appliance.
lf the appliance gets too hot, cool it down by opening the
lid and setting the burners to a lower position.
