OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE GOURMET HEALTH GRILL cont'd
Always allow the Gourmet
Health Grill to preheat
until the green 'READY'
light illuminates.
USING THE ADJUSTABLE GRILLING
HEIGHT CONTROL FEATURE.
Your Gourmet Health Grill features an
Adjustable Grilling Height Control feature
which allows you to fix the top plate to a
range of positions above the bottom plate.
This allows your Gourmet Health Grill to
be used to grill delicate ingredients such as
fish and hamburger buns without squashing.
1. Allow the Gourmet Health Grill to preheat
until the green 'HEATING' light turns off.
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 Gourmet Health
Grill to the desired height (see fig 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.

The Grill Height Control can
be moved to accommodate

backwards along the arm.
USING THE 15 MINUTE TIMER
Your Gourmet Health Grill features a 15
minute timer which allows you to pre-set
your required cooking time. To set your
cooking time, turn the timer to the 15 minute
mark and then, if the required time is less
than 15 minutes, turn the timer back to the
desired time (refer to fig 2). For example, for
10 minutes cooking, turn the dial to the 15
minute mark then immediately turn the dial
back to the 10 minute mark. When the
selected time has elapsed, a bell will ring.

You can operate your
Gourmet Health Grill
without the timer function.
USING THE EXTENDABLE FEET
Your Gourmet Health 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 grill but still drain the
maximum amount of fat while cooking.
The extendable feet are also perfect to use
while toasting sandwiches.

Butterfly loin steaks, spare ribs,
leg steaks, filet, diced pork.
Tougher cuts such as beef blade, topside
steak or lamb forequarter or neck chops
can be used. To tenderize 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 pre-
marinated meats from your meat retailer,
drain excess marinade off and dab with
kitchen paper before placing on the
Gourmet Health 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 fish pieces, use a flat
heat resistant plastic spatula to support
the food.
Parboiling sausages can alleviate the

need to pierce sausages before cooking.
