Grilling times (Fig. 10)
In the food table you find some types of food you can cook on this table grill. The table shows how
long the food has to be grilled (not including any heating up time for the appliance). The grilling time
and temperature depend on the type of food that you prepare (e.g. meat), its thickness and its
temperature and also on your own taste.
Tips
- Tender pieces of meat are best suited for grilling.
- Pieces of meat such as steaks become more tender if marinated overnight.
- Turn the food only once with a spatula or a pair of tongs to ensure that it remains juicy inside
and does not dry out. Do not use any metal tools like forks or grill tongs as they damage the
non-stick coating of the grids.
- Do not turn the grilled food too frequently.
- When you make satay or kebab, soak bamboo or wooden skewers in water to prevent
them from getting scorched during grilling. Do not use metal skewers.
- Sausages tend to burst when they are being grilled. To prevent this, cut the skin a few
times lengthwise.
- 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 helps to keep the meat juicy. For the best result,
make sure the pieces of meat you prepare are not too thick (approx. 1.5cm).
This table grill is not suitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.
Cleaning and maintenance
Never use abrasive cleaning agents and materials, as this damages the non-stick coating of the grids.
1 Set the control knob to the off position and unplug the appliance (Fig. 9).

3 Remove excess oil from the grid with a piece of kitchen paper before you remove the
grid for cleaning.
4 Lift the grid from the base by its handgrips (Fig. 12).

Note: The drip tray can only be slid out of the base in one way.
6 Soak the grid and the drip tray in hot water with some washing-up liquid for five minutes
or drizzle some lemon juice onto the grid. This loosens any caked food or grease.

washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.
