Operation

The Contact Grill should be turned on at least 5 minutes before use
To get efficient use out of this unit while in intermittent use, it is recommended that the Grill plates remain closed and the thermostat turned
down, when not cooking. This will assist in reducing power consumption and also allow for quicker heat response when needed.
Buffalo recommends that the cooking surface is lightly greased, before each use.
A temperature setting of between 200°Cand 220°C will be sufficient for general cooking. This may vary for particular food types, individual
needs, or experience.
Simply place the food products on the bottom grilling surface and lower the top plate down, and cook to your needs.
Use the Allen key supplied to adjust the tension of the top plate. Turn clockwise to tighten, anti-clockwise to loosen.
Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
Before starting to clean the Grill, disconnect from the electricity supply by removing the plug from the socket. Clean the cooking surface
regularly, we recommend it is cleaned after every use session.
When the cooking surfaces are still warm, wash with warm soapy water and then rinse thoroughly with
clean water. This will help to stop food sticking to the plates. Remove the fat drip tray and
wash in warm soapy water.
Other surfaces can be wiped over with a damp cloth to remove all food residues. Do not immerse the Contact Grill
in water or use water sprays to clean it.
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will begin to carbonise into a hard substance that is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent
this, follow the cleaning steps below:
•
Always turn OFF the appliance and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning
•
Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning, but for best results clean the plates when they are still slightly warm
•
Use warm, soapy water and a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the appliance
•
Take care when using scrapers to remove cooking residues as they can damage the cooking surface
•
Dry thoroughly after cleaning
•
A BUFFALO dealer or qualified technician should carry out repairs if required
Scraping
After each use, scrape the appliance with a scraper/grill stone/copper brush or flexible spatula to remove excess fat and food.
tray is provided for the scrapings if necessary
If there is an accumulation of burned fat or food, the cooking surface should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned
NOTE: IT IS VITAL THAT THE COOKING SURFACE IS RE-SEASONED AFTER SCOURING
WARNING: DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL AS IT MAY LEAVE SHARDS THAT COULD CONTAMINATE FOOD
