important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 The grill must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use and store
it out of reach of children.
2 Don't put the grill in liquid, don't use it in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
3 Don't use the grill unless grill plates are fitted to both elements.
4 Some parts aren't as hot as others, but they're all hot. Don't touch – use oven gloves
or a folded towel.
5 Bread, oil, and other foods may burn. Don't use the appliance near or below curtains
or other combustible materials, and watch it while in use.
6 Sit the grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, near a power socket.
7 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught.
8 Don't use the grill with an external timer or remote control system.
9 Don't wrap food in plastic film, polythene bags, or metal foil. You'll damage the grill and you
may cause a fire hazard.
10 Cook meat, poultry, and derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Cook fish till
the flesh is opaque throughout.
11 Keep the grill and cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
12 Unplug the grill after use, before moving and before cleaning.
13 Don't use the grill for any purpose other than cooking food.
14 Although the grill can be used to barbecue food, it isn't a barbecue. Don't try to use it with
charcoal or any other combustible materials, otherwise you'll start a fire.
15 Don't use the grill if it's damaged or malfunctions.
16 If the cable is damaged, return the grill, to avoid hazard.

positioning

1 Sit the grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
2 Leave a space of at least 50mm all round the grill.
3 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be caught or tripped over.

preparation

4 Check that the drip tray is pushed fully in – the rear should sit beneath both spillways.
5 Open the grill, wipe the cooking plates with a little cooking oil or butter, then close it. Don't
use low fat spread – it may burn on to the grill.
