them separately in hot soapy water (fig. 4).
- Rinse and dry the grilling plates.
- Reassemble the grilling plates (fig. 5).

Grilling
• When you intend to grill juicy or fat meat and/or
use much oil and/or butter, do not forget to
place drip-cup(s) under the drain(s) to catch fat
or juice (fig. 6).
• Grill dry and unsalted meat and fish. (You may
add salt after grilling.)
You can use the Contact Grill in three
positions:
“Party grill” (fig. 7 on page 44)
In this position the Contact
Grill offers a large grilling
area for preparing all kinds
of snacks, such as shashlick with onions, fruits,
sateh, etc.
- Flap-out the support (fig. 8).
- Set the temperature control to position 5 (fig. 9).
- Preheat the grill for about 15 minutes in closed
position (fig. 10).
- Pull the hinges up to the high position (fig. 11)
and put the Contact Grill in the open position
(fig. 12).
- Divide the food over the grilling area.
- From time to time turn the food using wooden
spatulas.
“Hotplate” (fig. 13)
Set the Compact Grill in this position, cover the
grilling plates with aluminium foil and set the
temperature knob in a low position (2 or 3). Then
the grill is converted into a thermostatically
controlled hotplate which will automatically keep
your dishes at the required temperature.
