USE
- Make sure the drip tray is positioned
correctly.
- Plug in and adjust the two thermo-
stats (bottom plate and top plate) to
the required position according to
the food to be grilled (see table).
Procedures for preheating the
appliance vary depending on the
position of the plates:
Positions 1/2: preheat the plates in
the closed position until the thermo-
stats trip;
Position 3: preheat the plates in the
open position until each of the two
thermostats trips.
When the appliance is used in position
1, you are recommended to adjust the
thermostat to Max to ensure even
cooking;
- When both two plates have reached
the required temperature, the corre-
sponding indicator light goes out;
- Place the food to be grilled on the grill
plates.
- To turn the appliance off, rotate the
two thermostat knobs into the OFF
position.
- After cooking, unplug the appliance
and leave to cool.
- To keep previously grilled food hot
(with the appliance in position 3),
place the top plate thermostat in the
"K" position and rest the food on the
top plate.
CLEANING
- Before cleaning the appliance, always
unplug from the mains socket and allow
to cool.
- Cleaning the grill every time you use
it avoids smoke and unpleasant smell
the next time you cook.
- Using the catches (G), the grill plates
can be removed and washed in hot
water or a dishwasher.
- Leave the grill plates to soak in hot
water for a few minutes to soften any
solid residues left after cooking.
10
Never touch the plates with sharp
utensils to avoid damaging the
coating.

COOKING TIPS

- Model CG660 only: the plates have a
smooth side to cook eggs, bacon
and toast and a ribbed side for gril-
ling. You can choose the most suita-
ble side for cooking by simply
unhooking the plates and re-atta-
ching them on the required side
making sure the fat drainage guides
are towards the inside (fig. 1).
- Dry defrosted or marinated food befo-
re placing on the grill plates.
- Add herbs and spices to the meat
before cooking, salt on serving.
- When using the "contact" position, the
pieces to be grilled should be of the
same thickness to ensure more even
cooking.
- When cooking fish, the plate the fish
rests on (I) must always be oiled.
- Some examples of how to use your
steak grill are given below.
The times given in the following table
are indicative only. They may vary
according to the characteristics of the
food (initial temperature, water con-
tent) and individual tastes.
- Never use utensils or abrasive clea-
ning products as these could damage
or scratch the special non-stick coa-
ting.
- Replace the grill plates in the applian-
ce only when clean and perfectly dry,
making sure they are firmly fixed in
place.
- To empty or clean the drip tray,
remove by pulling the handle
outwards. To replace, perform this
operation in reverse, pushing it in as
far as it will go.
