Note: During the grilling process, the green ready-to-cook light goes on and off from time to time. This
means that the health grill is heating up to the preset temperature setting. When this happens, you can
simply continue grilling.
Tips
- With the health grill in horizontal party grill position and the flat side of the grilling plates
pointing up, the grill is extremely suitable for stir-frying, baking eggs and small pancakes and for
cooking marinated ingredients.
- Lightly grease the food to be grilled with a little butter or oil.This prevents excess butter or oil
from smoking.
- The health grill is unsuitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.
- Sausages tend to burst when you grill them. To prevent this, punch a few holes in them with a
fork.
- For the best result, make sure the pieces of meat you use are not too thick (approx. 1.5cm).
- Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat.
- When you prepare satay, chicken, pork or veal, first sear the meat at a high temperature
(position 5). Then set the temperature control one position lower and grill the food until it is
done.
- You can also use the health grill as a thermostatically controlled hotplate, which automatically
keeps your dishes at the required temperature. Put the appliance in the party grill position and
set the temperature control to position 2 or 3. Cover the grilling plates with aluminium foil with
the shiny side facing upwards. (Fig. 18)
- If you want to defrost frozen food, put the appliance in the gratin grill position, wrap the frozen
food in aluminium foil. Set the temperature control to position 1 or 2. The defrosting time
depends on the weight of the food.
Cleaning
Never use abrasive cleaning agents and materials, as this damages the non-stick coating of the
plates.
Never immerse the appliance in water.
1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2 Remove excess oil from the plates with a piece of kitchen paper before you remove the
plates.
3 Remove the grilling plates (Fig. 19).
To remove the plates, press on the fixing clips on the appliance and then lift the plates out of the
appliance.
4 Clean the grilling plates, grease trays and spatula/tongs with a soft cloth or sponge in hot
water with some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher (Fig. 20).
Soak the grilling plates in hot water for five minutes with some washing-up liquid to remove
residues. This loosens any caked food or grease.
5 Dry the grilling plates and reassemble them (Fig. 21).
- Put the appliance in the party grill position.
- Place the rear edge of the grilling plates on the appliance (1). Lower the grilling plates onto the
appliance and press them down under the fixing clip (2).
6 Close the grill.
7 Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
