Electric grill Kitfort KT-1636
The electric contact grill allows you to cook steaks, vegetables, fish, sandwiches, croutons and much more. The ribbed surface of the work plates and the high cooking temperature help to remove excess fat from the food.
The 3-in-1 design allows you to use the grill in three different modes. In two-sided mode, the grill is closed with a lid and food is cooked on both sides at the same time. In the raised lid mode, the top lid hangs over the food being cooked, but does not touch it. This is necessary if double-sided heating is required, but the pieces of food have unequal thickness, or if you want to eliminate the pressure of the lid on them. For example, in this mode you can make a sandwich or reheat a pizza. In one-sided mode, the grill lid can be opened 180 °. The grill turns into a large brazier and both surfaces can be used for cooking.
The lid is equipped with a pivot shaft, so for any thickness of the ingredients being cooked, the top heating plate lies horizontally on them, and this ensures uniform heating of the food being cooked.
The grill is equipped with independent top and bottom heaters. The temperature of each surface can be individually controlled up to 230 ° C using an electronic thermostat. There is a timer for 99 minutes. The timer and temperature settings as well as the heating mode for each work surface are shown on the display.
Each heater is mounted on a heat distribution plate so the heating panels heat up evenly. Thanks to the heat reserve in the heat spreader and panels, the temperature of the panels remains stable when placing food on them.
The heating panels are made of aluminum with a non-stick coating. They are removable and can be easily cleaned.
The electric grill helps to remove excess fat from food during the cooking process, since it is cooked at high temperatures on both sides. To collect the melted fat, there are special grooves on the upper and lower working surfaces of the grill. During the cooking process (meat, poultry, fish, etc.), excess fat begins to gradually come out of it. This fat accumulates in the grooves and flows into the fat collection tray. For faster drainage of fat, the grill is equipped with additional extendable legs.

When the grill is connected to the power supply, the numbers on the display briefly light up and go out. The indicator on the on / off button starts blinking about 1 time per second. The grill is in sleep mode.
After pressing the on / off button, zeros light up on the display. The grill goes into standby mode. In this mode, pressing the heating control on the left or right panel turns on or off the heating of the corresponding surface. The surface heating temperature is adjusted by turning the knob, the set temperature is shown on the display.
When the work surface heats up, the corresponding heat indicator lights up red. When the surface is heated to the set temperature and the heater is turned off, the indicator lights up green.
The cooking time timer is set using the timer setting buttons. The time can be set from 1 to 99 minutes.
The lid lock is used to adjust the opening angle of the lid in the mode of operation with the lid ajar. To install the lock, slide it to the desired position.
For single sided cooking, move the lid lock to BBQ mode and while holding it open the top lid 180 °.
To lock the lid in the closed position, first slide the latch to the OPEN position, then close the lid, lightly press the handle and move the latch to the LOCK position.
When cooking foods that produce a lot of fat or juice, extend the extra legs from the bottom of the grill. This will increase the inclination of the grill surface and speed up the dripping of fat into the pan.
To detach the heating panel, press the panel detach button and remove the panel. To attach the panel, insert the far end into the tabs, then push the panel until it clicks into place.
Preparation for work and useBefore first use
Unpack your grill and remove all packing material. Remove the heating panels, wash them, dry them and reinstall them. Wipe the grill body with a dry cloth. Pull out the pallet. Turn on the grill, turn on the heating of both surfaces at 200 ° C and set the timer for 10 minutes. Preheat the grill until the timer runs out. A small amount of smoke and odor may appear during heating, this is normal. Turn off the grill and let it cool down, then remove the work surfaces and wash them again. The grill is now ready for use.
First, lightly grease the work surfaces of the panels with oil, margarine or fat. This will make it difficult for the products to stick to surfaces. Check that the drip tray is installed.
Select a cooking mode and place the lid according to the mode.
Connect the grill to the power supply. Press the on / off button.
To turn on the heating of the lower surface, press the heating knob for the lower surface, then turn the knob to set the heating temperature.
To turn on the heating of the upper surface, press the heating knob for the upper surface, then turn the knob to set the heating temperature.
Set the timer using the timer setting buttons. The time is set in minutes.
Wait for the grill to warm up. When the work surfaces have reached operating temperature, the heating surface indicator lights will turn green.
Place food on work surfaces. Close the lid if you are cooking in double-sided mode. Turn food in one-sided mode in a timely manner, if required by the recipe.
When the timer expires, the grill will beep and turn off. To turn off the grill manually, press the on / off button.
Disconnect the grill from the power supply after use.
Use only high temperature resistant wooden or plastic scoops to remove and turn food. Do not use metal spatulas to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
Two way mode
In this mode, food is laid out on the lower work surface, after which the grill is closed with a lid, so food is cooked simultaneously from both sides and does not need to be turned over.
When cooking in this mode, try to ensure that all food pieces cooked at the same time have approximately the same thickness. This will keep each piece in contact with both the top and bottom of the grill, so they will all cook for the same amount of time and the same degree of doneness.
To cook in this mode, you need to turn on the heating of both work surfaces and set the same heating temperature.
One-way mode
In this mode, both work surfaces can be used for cooking at the same time, the food is cooked from the bottom side. Press the lid open button and open it 180 °.
To cook in this mode, you need to turn on the heating of the work surfaces that you are going to use. You can use both or just one of them. The temperatures of both surfaces are set independently and may differ.
Cooking with lid ajar
Use this mode if two-sided cooking is not possible due to the fact that the top cover can crush food by its own weight, or the food pieces have an uneven thickness, but you still need to heat not only from the bottom, but also from the top. Set the lid lock to the desired closing angle and close the lid. The lid will not close completely and will be lifted so that the top work surface does not touch the food being cooked. Align the cover horizontally if necessary.
To cook in this mode, you need to turn on the heating of both work surfaces. For the bottom surface, set the heating temperature specified in the recipe. The temperature of the upper surface should be set lower than the lower one.
Attention! The lid may be hot. Use oven mitts or oven mitts to straighten the lid; do not touch it with bare hands.
Advice
When cooking on one side, do not turn the food over too often to avoid excessive drying.
Cut food into pieces that are not too thick, otherwise the cooking time will be excessively long.
Preheat the grill before placing the next portion: wait for the heat indicator to go out before placing the food on the work surfaces.
When cooking foods with a lot of fat or juice, extend the extra legs. This will increase the inclination of the grill surface and accelerate the dripping of fat into the bottom.
If the panels are wiped off immediately after cooking with dry and then wet paper towels, then this will be quite enough for a high-quality cleaning.
Maintenance and storage
Unplug your grill and make sure it is cool before cleaning and servicing your grill.
Pull out the grease tray and empty the contents. Wash the pallet. Detach work surfaces and wash them. Do not use aggressive and abrasive detergents and scouring pads. Remember that non-stick surfaces are easily damaged. Do not wash any part of the grill in the dishwasher. Do not immerse your grill in water or wash it under the tap.
Wipe the outside of the grill with a damp cloth.
Clean and wash the grill before storing. Store your grill in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.
