OPERATING YOUR CONTACT GRILL GR 4011

Remove any promotional materials and packaging materials before use. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust.

If necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth.

TO USE AS A GRILL

1. Insert the plug into a 230/240 V power outlet and switch ON. The Red power ‘ON’ light will illuminate.

2. Turn the variable temperature control to

‘Steak Sear’ for fast heat up.

3. Allow the Contact Grill to preheat until the green ‘Ready’ light illuminates.

4. Place meat or foods to be cooked on the bottom cooking plate. Refer to Grilling recipes or guide for cooking times.

The Contact Grill can be used to cook foods in the open or closed position.

NOTE

5. Close the top cooking plate which has a fl oating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve

Contact Grill marks on the selected foods.

6. When the selected foods are grilled, open the lid. Remove the food with the help of a plastic spatula.

TO USE AS A SANDWICH PRESS

1. Insert the plug into a 230/240 V power outlet and turn the power on. The red power ‘ON’ light will illuminate.

2. Turn the heat control dial to the

‘Sandwich’ position.

3. Allow the Contact Grill to preheat until the green ‘Ready’ light illuminates.

4. During this time, prepare the sandwich and place it onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place sandwiches towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.

5. Close the top cooking plate which has a fl oating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the sandwich. The top plate must be fully lowered to cook sandwiches.

6. Toasting should take approximately

5-8 minutes. Exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the type of fi lling used.

7. When the sandwich is cooked and using the handle, open the lid. Remove the sandwich with the help of a plastic spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the nonstick coating of the cook plates.

The green ‘Ready’ light will cycle on and off during the cooking process indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.

NOTE

When using the Contact Grill for the fi rst time you may notice a fi ne smoke haze.

This is caused by the heating of some of the components. There is no need for concern.

6

OPERATING YOUR CONTACT GRILL GR 4011

Always allow the Contact Grill to preheat until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.

NOTE

The Grill Height Control can be moved to accommodate thick or thin foods by sliding the clip forwards or backwards along the arm.

NOTE

USING THE ADJUSTABLE GRILLING HEIGHT

CONTROL FEATURE.

Your Contact Grill features an Adjustable

Grilling Height Control feature which allows you to fi x the top plate to a range of positions above the bottom plate.

This allows your Contact Grill to be used to grill delicate ingredients such as fi sh and hamburger buns without squashing.

1. Allow the Contact Grill to preheat until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.

2. Place the food to be grilled on the bottom plate.

3. Move the Adjustable Grill Control clip on the right hand side of the smart Contact

Grill to the desired height (see fi g 1)

4. Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on the height control clip.

5. The top plate will radiate the desired heat to lightly grill foods.

Fig. 1.

USING THE EXTENDABLE FEET

Your Contact Grill features unique extendable feet which are designed to level the bottom plate when cooking foods such as sausages. This ensures the sausages do not roll off the hotplate but still drain the maximum amount of fat while cooking. The extendable feet are also perfect to use while toasting sandwiches.

Fig. 2.

VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL

The Contact Grill features a Variable

Temperature Control dial which allows a variety of foods to be cooked.

With the dial set on Steak Sear (see fi g 3) the temperature is correctly suited to grill meats or other foods.

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS FOR GRILLING

MEAT

For best Grilling results use meat cuts which are thick enough to touch the top and base plate when the Contact Grill is closed.

Recommended Cuts

Beef Sirloin (New York), Rump, Rib Eye

(Scotch Fillet), Fillet,

Lamb Trim Lamb Leg Steaks, Fillet, Eye of Loin, Cutlets and Diced Lamb.

With the dial set on Sandwich (see fi g 4) the temperature is correctly suited to toasting sandwiches.

Fig. 3.

Fig. 4.

The Variable Temperature Control dial allows you to select a temperature suited to the foods which are being cooked.

Leg Steaks, Fillets, Diced Pork.

• Tougher cuts such as beef blade, topside steak or lamb forequarter or neck chops can be used. To tenderise these cuts marinate them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade with wine or vinegar to help break down the connective tissue.

• Do not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw out the juices toughening the meat.

• If using a marinade recipe or premarinated meats from your meat retailer, drain excess marinade off and dab with kitchen paper before placing on the Contact Grill. Some marinades contain high sugar levels which can scorch on the Grill plate when cooked.

• Do not over cook meat, even pork is better served pink and juicy.

• Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat while cooking. This will let the juices escape, resulting in a tougher dry steak. Use tongs instead.

• When removing fi sh pieces, use a fl at heat resistant plastic spatula to support the food.

• Parboiling sausages can alleviate the need to pierce sausages before cooking.

HOW TO JUDGE A STEAK DONENESS

The art of properly prepared steak is based on only a few steps and following the below mentiond procedures, you will be always able to prepare the right steak which you or your friends like.

Rare

Cook for a few minutes per side, depending on thickness. Turn once only. Cook until steak feels very soft with back of tongs.

A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a rare steak as 55-60°C.

Medium Rare

Cook one side until moisture is just visible on top surface. Turn once only. Cook on the other side until surface moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium rare when it feels soft with back of tongs.

A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium rare steak as 60-65°C.

Medium

Cook one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn once only. Cook second side until moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium when it feels springy with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium steak as

65-70°C.

Medium Well

Cook one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook second side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels fi rm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium well steak as 70-75°C.

Well Done

Cook one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook second side until moisture is pooling on top.

Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels very fi rm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a well done steak as 75°C – 85°C.

GRILLING GUIDE

HINT FOR TOASTING SANDWICHES

Bread

Most types of bread can be used, white, whole meal, and so on. The GR 4011 grill is ideal for toasting foccacia, Turkish bread, baguettes as well as bread rolls. Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.

Toasting bread

The unique fl at design makes the sandwich press ideal for toasting plain breads and

Turkish bread, without any fi llings or spreads.

Try toasting Turkish bread with jams for a great alternative to standard breads at breakfast.

Fillings

Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated. Be careful when biting into sandwiches containing fi llings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.

Fat free snacks

Due to the non-stick fl at plate design, it is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks. You will then prepare healthy and diet snack for you and your relatives.

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning, turn the power off at the power outlet and then remove the plug.

Allow your Contact Grill to cool before cleaning. The unit is easier to clean when slightly warm.

Always clean your Contact Grill after each use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods.

Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food residue. For baked on food residue squeeze some warm water mixed with detergent over the food residue then clean with a non abrasive plastic scouring pad.

The cooking plates are coated with a nonstick surface, do not use abrasives.Do not use spray-on nonstick coatings as this will aff ect the performance of the non-stick surface on the cooking plates.

NOTE

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY

Remove and empty the Drip Tray after each use and wash the tray in warm, soapy water.

Avoid the use of scouring pads or harsh detergents as they may damage the surface.

Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth and replace.

QUANTANIUM SCRATCH RESISTANT

COATING

Your Contact Grill features a special scratch resistant non-stick coating that makes it safe to use metal utensils when cooking.

Regardless of this fact, Catler recommends that care is taken with the non-stick coating particularly when using metal utensils.

Do not use sharp objects or cut food inside the Contact Grill. Catler will not be liable for damage to the non-stick coating where metal utensils have been misused.

Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier.

Any discolouration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of the

Contact Grill and will not aff ect the cooking performance.

When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash with warm soapy water. Remove stubborn residue with a non abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush.
