re-spray the top grill plate to prevent food
from sticking.
5. The cooking plates are coated in a durable
non-stick coating. Some foods that are
marinated or coated may cause the food to
stick to the grill plates.
To free the food use a plastic spatula or
wooden spoon. Never use a sharp object or
metal utensil as this will damage the non-
stick surface.
Wipe a small amount of butter, margarine or oil
onto the plates, rub lightly and wipe away any
excess.
Note: When using your EasyClean Contact Grill
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.
Note: The warm up and Ready Lights are
thermostatically controlled and will cycle during
cooking to ensure that the correct temperature
is maintained.
Caution: Do not touch the outside of the top of
the grill, when in use. Ensure you use the handle
to open the top grill plate. Avoid touching hot
surfaces. This grill may generate steam from
between the grill plates while food is cooking
and when the top plate is opened. Take care
when removing food from the grill.
Using your EasyClean Contact Grill
1. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt AC
power outlet.
2. Turn the power ON and pre-heat your Easy
Clean Contact Grill until the Ready light
illuminates.

ribbing, simply run the spatula along the
grooves of the grill plate from the back to the
front. Wiping over with a dampened cloth. This
