before using for the first time
1 Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.
which grill plates to use?
2 Decide which grill plates you want to use.
top plate
this must be fitted to the top element, whether the ribbed plate or pizza
plate is fitted to the bottom element
ribbed plate to grill meat, sausages, and anything that might give off fat
pizza plate for non-fatty items, for baking, and for things like eggs, omelettes, filled
pancakes, filled pittas, small calzone, and batters (like Yorkshire pudding)
that need a flat surface
wrap plates for quesadillas, tortillas, and other wraps
the grill plates
3 The top plate is marked “UP” on the side that faces the element. Fit it to the top element,
with the “UP” to your right – it won’t fit the other way round.
4 Fit the ribbed plate to the bottom element, with the overhang at the front.
5 Fit the pizza plate to the bottom element, with the single pillar at the rear.
6 The wrap plates are identical. Use them as a pair, on both top and bottom elements.

tilted or flat?
9 Decide whether you want the grill tilted, so that fat and juices run down to the drip tray,
or flat, for eggs, pizza, and other “runny” foods.
caution don’t touch the body of the grill, it may be hot – use oven gloves
10 Close the grill
11 Push the handle down, towards the work surface, to raise the rear of the grill
tilt use the other hand to pull the tilt support out from under the rear of the grill
flat use the other hand to push the tilt support under the rear of the grill
12 Release the handle, to lower the grill and rest the tilt support on the work surface
preparation
13 Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, so it catches any run-off.
14 Open the grill, wipe the plates with a little cooking oil or butter, then close it. Don’t use
low fat spread – it may burn on to the grill.

Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
The red power light will glow to show the grill is connected to the electricity supply.
Slide the temperature control to the setting you need – from 1 (low) to 5 (high).
The green ready light will glow. It’ll go off when the grill reaches working temperature,
then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains the temperature.
19 Wait till the green ready light is out before cooking.
fill the grill
20 Put on your oven gloves, open the grill, and lay the food on the bottom plate.
21 Use a spatula or tongs, not fingers.
22 Don’t use anything metal or sharp, you’ll damage the non-stick surfaces.
23 Close the grill. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.
24 The plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.
25 Wait till the food has cooked.
remove the food
26 Open the grill – use the oven gloves.
27 Check the food is cooked – if you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.

32 Put on the oven glove, empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl, then give it a wipe
with kitchen paper, and put it under the front of the grill.
care and maintenance
33 Unplug the grill and let it cool before cleaning and storing away.
34 Open the grill.
35 Remove one plate at a time.
36 After removing the plates, wash them in warm soapy water, or in a dishwasher.
37 Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth. Use a paper towel moistened with a little
cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.
38 Dry the plates before replacing them on the grill.
39 Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water, or in the top rack of the dishwasher.
40 Don’t put the grill in water or any other liquid
41 Don’t use abrasive cleaning agents, solvents, scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.
Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs
of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.
This appliance is for household use only

cooking times & food safety
Use these times purely as a guide. They’re for fresh or fully defrosted food cooked at
setting 4 or above, using the top plate and the ribbed plate. When cooking frozen
foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood, and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending
on the thickness and density of the food.
Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more.
Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear.
Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.
When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.

This is a quick and easy way of making a delicious risotto meal.
2 -3 tablespoons butter
1 cup Arborio rice
1 white onion, finely chopped
2 slices double-smoked ham, chopped
1 cup thinly sliced or chopped mushrooms (Swiss Browns are great!)
2 1/2 - 3 cups boiling well flavoured chicken stock
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 teaspoons chopped thyme leaves
pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese
Preheat appliance to No. 2 and melt the butter. Tip rice into backing pan, add the ham and mushrooms
and sir until rice becomes opaque. Add approximately 1 cup of boiling stock, stir, then close lid and raise

butter (and sugar, if making sweet pancakes). Allow mixture to stand for 20 minutes.
To cook, preheat appliance to No. 4. Brush the base of the baking pan with a little butter. Spoon in
a generous tablespoon of the mixture and spread thinly with a wooden spatula. Cook for a couple
of minutes before turning gently to brown underside. Cook remainder of mixture in the same way,
stacking and covering with a tea towel as they cook.
Savoury pancakes may be served with fillings such as creamed mushrooms, chicken, fish etc., while the
sweet version is delicious simply served with a sprinkling of sugar and lemon or with jam or honey.

GUACAMOLE
Although Australians usually serve it as a dip, this popular recipe accompanies
many dishes in Mexican and South American cuisine. This is a traditional version
and is excellent served with tortillas which have been “crisped” in the tortilla pan
or very lightly fried and then broken or cut into small pieces. The avocados should be
very ripe and mashed with a fork, not in a food processor.
