Melissa Health Grill 643-034 - Manual (Page 15)

LOW-FAT FOOD
You can prepare low-fat food using this non-
stick grill. Both hot plates (4, 5) have a non-
stick coating. When you are grilling, you only
need to use very small quantities of fat or
none at all.
Oil and melted fat, etc. from food runs into
the collection tray, which is placed under the
edge of the bottom grill plate (5).
PRIOR TO FIRST USE
- Once the device has been unpacked,
you must ensure that any packaging
inside is also removed.
- Clean the grill before you use it for the
first time (see Cleaning and
maintenance).
- You may experience a small amount of
smoke when you use it for the first time.
This is due to excess material from the
manufacturing process being burnt off
from the hot plates (4, 5). This is
completely normal, and the smell will
soon disappear.
USE
- Prepare the items to be grilled. Clean
them and use a marinade or spices
according to taste. If necessary, coat
them with a thin layer of oil. Dry wet
foods, such as fish, before you grill
them.
- Place the plug (6) in the socket. The
indicator light (1) comes on and the hot
plates (4, 5) warm up.
- The grill is ready for use when the
indicator light goes out. Place the items
to be grilled on the bottom hot plate (5).
You must not use metal utensils or
utensils with a sharp edge on the hot
plates, as they have a special non-stick
coating. Instead use the supplied
spatula (7) or wooden utensils.
- Close the top (3) so that it rests on top
of the food. Both grill hot plates (4,5)
heat up, thus reducing the cooking
time.
- During grilling, oil/fat and various juices
from the food will run out of the end of
the bottom hot plate (5). You should
therefore place the collection tray (8) in
front of the grill. The cord (6) must not
rest in the collection tray.
- Warning! The metal parts will get very
hot during use. Touch only the handle
(2). Be careful of spitting oil, fat or other
liquids.
- The cooking time depends on the type,
weight and size of the food. Use the
following guidelines:
Food Weight Grilling time
Hamburger 150 g 8-12 minutes
Toasted
sandwiches
100 g 5-6 minutes
- You can interrupt the grilling process at
any time by removing the cord (6) from
the socket. Always remove the plug
from the cable once the food is ready.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Always follow the safety precautions.
- Allow the grill to cool completely before
cleaning it.
- Use a cloth dampened with water and
detergent for external cleaning of the
grill.
- Cleaning the hot plates (4, 5): first
remove large pieces of food residue.
Only use soft tools made from plastic or
wood for cleaning. Never use oven
cleaner or sharp, pointed or abrasive
tools. Once you have removed these
residues, you can continue cleaning the
hot plates using hot water and
detergent. Never use petrol or solvents!
- Warning! The electrical parts must not
come into contact with water!
