ETA Grado - Manual (Page 20)

Assembling the grill
The grill does not include any special parts, which need to be assembled before use. Insert
only the dripping bowl A3 and socket thermostat B into the base of grill A1 before use (see
pic. 1).
IV. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the grill on a dry and even surface (e.g. kitchen table) at a height of at least 85 cm, out
of the reach of children. Insert the power plug A4 into the power socket and check that it does
not lead under the grill. Set the control dial B1 to the 230 position. The indicator light B2 will
turn on. Allow the grill to heat up for approximately 10 minutes without placing any food on
it. Working temperature is achieved when the indicator light B2 turns off. Place the food on
grilling surface A2. Turn off the grill by turning the temperature control dial B1 to position MIN
(and unplug supply cord from el. socket) a few minutes before finishing grilling because the
hotplate is sufficiently hot to complete the grilling of the food.
Note
– When the temperature is changed using the control dial B1 during the course of grilling
it will take approx. 5 to 10 minutes for the hotplate to achieve the set temperature.
– While heating the thermostat may cycle (the indicator light turns on and off). This is not
considered to be a defect.
i
Important notice
– Always allow the hotplates to heat up to working temperature before placing food on them.
– Do not touch the metal parts of the grill or the hotplate A2 during grilling, because these
parts are HOT! Pay special care to ensure that children do not touch the hotplate!
– Never place frozen or heavy foods on a hotplate.
– Do not leave an empty grill turned on for longer than 30 minutes.
– Never cut food that is being prepared on the grilling surface!
– Household pets (e.g. exotic birds) may have sensitive reactions to smells/odours, steam
and smoke created while food is being cooked. For this reason we recommend that food
is cooked in a different room.
All recommended cooking times for foods recommended in expert literature (cookbooks)
assume that meat has the temperature as when taken from the refrigerator. Cooking frozen
meat may take significantly longer.
Consider the following cooking tips as examples and inspiration, the purpose of which is not
to provide instructions but to show various ways of cooking food. Cooking (processing) times
for foods are only approximations and are in the range of minutes. The cooking time will
change depending on the temperature of the grill, the surrounding area and the type of food
being cooked. You may adjust the cooking time depending on your preference, the longer the
food is cooked the more well done it will be, crunchier.
Carefully monitor the food while cooking on the grill and adjust the cooking time as you see
necessary. Turning the food over more regularly will achieve more even cooking. Before
grilling vegetables, fish or lean meat, we recommend that you grease the hotplate with
vegetable oil or spray it with a special spray that prevents foods from sticking. When cooking
meat containing fat or foods that have been marinated it is not necessary to treat the hotplate
in this way. Use only fresh foods (not frozen). Remove sinew and fat from the meat. Remove
bones from fish. Cut the food you wish to grill into small thin slices.
