during the cooking process. This
reduces the amount of smoke and
also facilitates the cleaning of the
Grill. Your grilled food is healthier.
This tray should always be filled with
water.

in.
The indicator light is on. Your
Minute Grill starts heating up.

page. Select the cooking time accor-
ding to the food to be grilled.

little while until the indicator light
goes off.
Warning!
Never touch the metallic parts of your
Minute Grill during pre-heating or
cooking operations: you may burn
yourself. Never use tin foil or anything
else between the cooking plates and
the food during cooking on any model.
Warning: when opening the grill, be
careful not to touch the cooking plates
which are always very hot.
5. When the indicator light goes off,
open the Minute Grill and place the
meat on the lower plate.

is automatically adjusted. You
can cook pieces up to 4 cm in
