CONTACT GRILL SETTING

6. Switch off and unplug the grill.

5. When done, open the grill (use the oven gloves), and remove the food with a spatula/tongs.
6. Switch off and unplug the grill.
CHECK THAT THE FOOD IS COOKED
• Whichever cooking mode you use, check that the food is cooked through before serving – if you’re in
any doubt, cook it a bit more.
• Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Cook fish till the
flesh is opaque throughout.
