USING YOUR GRILL
GRILL SAFETY WARNING

• ALWAYS make sure that grill trays are fitted into the
grill according to instructions.
• DO NOT line the chrome grill rack with foil.

keep children away until the grill has cooled.

Food may catch fire.

GRILLING

(see diagram below).
• The grill is suitable for tender cuts of meat, steak,
chops, sausages, fish, toasted cheese and other foods
which cook quickly.
• The grill door MUST be left open during grilling.
• For best results the grill should be preheated for 3 minutes
before cooking to seal the natural juices of meat.
Using the Grill of your Gas Cooker

of the control panel.

– Press the electronic igniter switch on the right hand
side of the panel.
NOTE: If the grill does not light after 8 seconds,
follow these steps:

position and let go.
2. Wait 15 seconds for the gas to clear and repeat the
steps to light the grill.
