Using the appliance
Three grilling positions
- Contact grill position (Fig. 3)
This position is especially suitable for quick high-temperature grilling on both
sides (rump steaks, hamburgers etc.) and for making toasted sandwiches or
paninis.
Note: Both grilling plates are in contact with the food.
- Oven grill position (Fig. 4)
This is the ideal position to grill and cook au gratin at the same time. The
oven grill position is also suitable for the preparation of all kinds of ‘open’
toasts, e.g. with egg, tomato, peppers and/or onion rings, covered with
cheese.
Note: The upper grilling plate must not touch the food.
- Barbecue grill position (Fig. 5)
In this position, the grill offers a large grilling surface for the preparation of
all kinds of snacks, such as shashlik, satay, vegetables, fruits etc.
1 Fully unwind the mains cord from the storage facility in the hinges of
the appliance (Fig. 6).
2 Make sure the grill is closed. Then put the plug in the wall
socket (Fig. 7).
, HD4408/HD4469 only: The red power-on light goes on to indicate
that the grill is connected to the mains.
3 Turn the temperature control to the temperature setting that is
appropriate for the ingredients to be grilled. See the food table at the
beginning of this booklet.

- Barbecue grill position: open the grill halfway and pull the upper grilling
plate up to its highest position (1). Then put the grill in open position
(2) (Fig. 9).
6 Place the grease tray under the drainage groove to collect fat or
juice. (Fig. 10)
7 Place the ingredients on the grilling plate or plates (Fig. 11).
For an optimal result, place the ingredients in the centre of the grilling plate
or plates.
The grilling time depends on the type of ingredients, their thickness and
your personal taste. See the food table at the beginning of this booklet
for recommended grilling times.
Note: During the grilling process, the green ready-to-cook light goes out
(HD4408/HD4469 only) or the temperature light goes on (HD4407/HD4467
only) from time to time to indicate that the grill is heating up to the preset
temperature setting.
