OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before Use
Before using your multi-grill press for the first time, the non-stick cooking plates must be seasoned. Plug the power cord
into a 230-240 volt AC mains power supply outlet. Turn the temperature control knob to a mild setting to pre-heat the
unit until the ready light illuminates.
Wipe a small amount of butter onto the plates and using a soft cloth or grease proof paper, rub lightly over the plates.
Wipe away any excess.
NOTE: When using your grill press for the first time, you may notice a fine smoke haze being emitted from the
unit. This is normal. It is due to the initial heating of internal components.
Using your Multi-Grill Press
Your Multi-Grill Press can be used to grill sandwiches, panini, red meat, chicken breasts, sausages, fish, and
vegetables.
1. Plug the power supply cord into a 230-240 volt AC power outlet and switch “ON”.
2. Pre-heat the unit until the Ready Light illuminates.
3. Once you have prepared your food, place it onto the cooking plates.
4. Gently lower the lid by pulling down the cast metal arms. The floating hinge system will adjust
automatically ensuring that that the top cooking plate lies evenly on your food, for perfect cooking every time.
NOTE: Ensure that the cord is kept well away from the cooking plates when in use.
5. Grill/toasting time will depend on your personal taste. As both sides are cooked at the same time toasting or grilling
time is reduced.
6. The cooking plates are coated with a durable non-sick coating. Some fillings (e.g. cheese) may melt and cause food
to stick to the plates. Never use a sharp or metal object when removing food from the Cooking Plates as these will
damage the non-stick surface. Use a plastic spatula or wooden spoon.
Note: The ‘Ready’ light is thermostatically controlled and will cycle during cooking to ensure that the
temperature is maintained.
7. You can adapt toasting time to your taste. The time required depends on the kind of food (e.g. meat - its thickness
and its original temperature.) and your personal taste.
8. After you have completed using your Multi-Grill Press, pull the plug out from the wall socket. Keep the unit open to
allow it to cool. Wipe it clean using a soft damp cloth and/or paper kitchen towel.
Hints for best results
1. Breads with a high sugar content (fruit loaf, etc) will toast more quickly than plain sandwich breads.
2. Any type of bread can be used, white, wholemeal or wholegrain.
3. For sweet snacks, sprinkle castor sugar over the buttered sides of the bread.
4. When using raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads that contain high sugar content, keep in mind that they will
brown much more quickly than other breads.
5. For a wholesome meal, large pieces of focaccia bread may be toasted with desired filling.
6. Bread rolls may also be toasted with desired filling.
7. For a light snack savory or sweet bagels may be toasted with desired filling.
8. Be careful when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese, tomato or jam as they retain heat and can
burn if eaten too quickly.
9. It is not necessary to butter the outside of all breads as the appliance has non-stick cooking plates. However,
to encourage even browning of bread or when using stale bread, spreading with a small amount of butter is
recommended.
10. When using marinades etc, brush the cooking plates with butter or vegetable oil before grilling.
CARE AND CLEANING
Non-stick Coating
When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. After cleaning, dry the Multi-Grill
Press and lid thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing. Always REMOVE the plug from the power point after use and
before cleaning. The cooking plates are coated with a non-stick surface and therefore little cleaning is required. Once
cooled, simply wipe the cooking plates with a dampened cloth.
Do not immerse your Multi-Grill Press in water or any other liquid. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
powders.
Do not place your Multi-Grill Press in a dishwasher.
To clean the exterior
Simply wipe over with a dampened cloth and polish dry with a dry soft cloth. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or
abrasive cleaners as these will damage the surface.
Storage
Your Multi-Grill Press will store in an upright position in cupboards, shelves or on the bench top. Simply bring the plates
together and, press the securing latch located on the right cast metal arm. This will lock the plates together. Wind the
cord around the storage area provided.
