Use a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g. a spatula) to remove the grilled food from the contact grill. Do
not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils.
To continue grilling, place the second batch of food on the lower plate when the green ready-to-
cook light goes out.
For optimal results, remove excess oil from the plate with a piece of kitchen paper before placing
the next batch of food on the grilling plates.

Grilling times

In the table you will find a number of dishes you can prepare with the contact grill.The grilling times
indicated in the table do not include the time necessary to preheat the appliance.
During the grilling process, the green light goes on and out from time to time to indicate that the
heating elements are switched on or off to maintain the correct temperature.When the light goes
on or out, you can simply continue grilling.
You can adapt the grilling time and temperature to your own taste.The setting also depends on the
kind of food that is being prepared (e.g. meat), its thickness and its temperature.
Tips
The contact grill must not be used to grill meat with bones attached to it.The bones could
damage the non-stick coating of the plates.
Always cook small batches to get the best results.
Sausages tend to burst when they are being cooked.This can be prevented by punching a few
holes in the skin with a fork.
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 will help to preserve the meat
juices.
Do not grill pieces of meat that are too thick.
Turn ingredients that are thinner than about 1 cm at least once during grilling.
