Tips
• When you are preparing saté, chicken, pork
or veal, first sear the meat at a high
temperature (position 5). If necessary, you can
then set the temperature control one position
lower and grill the food until it is done.
• Sausages tend to burst when they are being
cooked. To prevent this, punch a few holes in
them with a fork.
• Fresh meat gives better grilling results than
frozen or defrosted meat.
• Do not put salt on the meat until after you
have grilled it. This will help to keep the meat
juicy.
• The contact grill is unsuitable for grilling
breadcrubed food.
• For the best result, make sure the pieces of
meat you are going to prepare are not too
thick (approx. 1.5 cm).

until the grilling plates are no longer hot to
