USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS

11.1 Preheating the appliance

By preheating your appliance, you make sure the grill is hot
enough by the time you put food on it. Proceed as follows:
1 Light the burner(s) and set their control knob(s) to HIGH.
2 Close the lid and leave the appliance for ten minutes.
3 After ten minutes, open the lid and put your food on the grill.
4 If you need less heat now, set the control knob(s) to a lower
position.

11.2 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.

11.3 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:

45 - 49,5 °C
50 - 54,5 °C
55 - 59,5 °C
