Tips
- Tender pieces of meat are best suited for grilling.
- Pieces of meat such as steaks become more tender if marinated overnight.
- Turn the food only once with a spatula or a pair of 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 damage the
non-stick coating of the grids.
- Do not turn the grilled food too frequently.
- When you make 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, cut the skin a few times
lengthwise.
- 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 helps to keep the meat juicy. For the best result, make
sure the pieces of meat you prepare are not too thick (approx. 1.5cm).
This table grill is not suitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.
Cleaning and maintenance
Never use abrasive cleaning agents and materials, as this damages the non-stick coating of the grids.
1 Set the control knob to the off position and unplug the appliance (Fig. 9).
2 Let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes (Fig. 11).
3 Remove excess oil from the grid with a piece of kitchen paper before you remove the grid
for cleaning.
4 Lift the grid from the base by its handgrips (Fig. 12).
5 Slide the drip tray out of the base (Fig. 13).
Note: The drip tray can only be slid out of the base in one way.
6 Soak the grid and the drip tray in hot water with some washing-up liquid for five minutes or
drizzle some lemon juice onto the grid. This loosens any caked food or grease.
7 Clean the base with a damp cloth.
8 Clean the grid and the drip tray with a soft cloth or sponge in hot water with some washing-
up liquid or in the dishwasher.
9 Dry the grid and drip tray.
10 Reassemble the appliance.
Note: See the separate cleaning table for further instructions.
Maintenance tip: If there are caked food residues on the inside walls of the base, you can use a ceramic
scraper to remove the residues.
