Three grilling positions

- Contact grill position (Fig. 5)
This position is especially suitable for quick high-temperature grilling on both sides (rump steaks,
hamburgers etc.) and for making toasted sandwiches or paninis.
Note: Both grilling plates are in contact with the food.
- Gratin grill position (Fig. 6)
This is the ideal position to grill and cook au gratin at the same time. The gratin grill position is also
suitable for the preparation of all kinds of 'open' toasts, e.g. with egg, tomato, peppers and/or onion
rings, covered with cheese.
Note: The upper grilling plate must not touch the food.
- Party grill position (Fig. 7)
In this position, the health grill offers a large grilling surface for the preparation of all kinds of snacks,
such as shashlik, satay, vegetables, fruits etc.
With the health grill in party grill position and the flat side of the grilling plates pointing upwards,
you can use the grilling surface to stir-fry ingredients and bake eggs or pancakes.
1 Fully unwind the cord from the storage facility in the hinges of the appliance (Fig. 8).
2 If necessary, turn the plates so that the side you wish to use is pointing upwards.
3 Make sure the grill is closed (Fig. 9).
4 Put the plug in the wall socket.
5 Turn the temperature control to the temperature setting that is appropriate for the
ingredients to be grilled. See the table at the end of this booklet.
The red power-on light goes on to indicate that the grill is heating up.
,
Never let the appliance operate unattended.
6 Wait until the green ready-to-cook light goes on and then open the grill to put the
ingredients on the grilling plate or plates.
Be careful: the grilling plates are hot.
- Contact grill and gratin grill positions: open the grill halfway (Fig. 10).
- Party grill position: open the grill halfway and pull the upper grilling plate up to its highest
position (1). Then put the grill in open position (2) (Fig. 11).
7 If the grill is in sloped position, place the grease tray or trays under the drainage groove or
grooves to collect fat or juice.
Note: When you use the flat side of the grilling plates, do not put the appliance in sloped position.
- Contact grill and gratin grill positions: place one grease tray underneath the drainage groove of
the bottom grilling plate (Fig. 12).
- When you grill ingredients that contain a lot of fat or juice on the ribbed side of the grilling
plates and with the grill in horizontal position, you may also need to place the grease tray/trays
in order to prevent fat or juice from dripping on the worktop.
Note: Do not cook ingredients with a lot of fat on the flat side of the grilling plates. The flat side does not
have a drainage groove, so the extra fat cannot drain away.
- Party grill position with the ribbed sides of the grilling plates pointing upwards: use both grease
trays. Place one tray underneath the drainage groove of each grilling plate (Fig. 13).
8 Use the spatula/tongs provided to place the ingredients on the grilling plate or plates (Fig. 14).
For an optimal result, place the ingredients in the centre of the grilling plate or plates.
The grilling time depends on the type of ingredients, their thickness and your personal taste. See the
table at the end of this booklet for recommended grilling times.
