      Care and Use

      • If the cooking plates are incorrectly inserted, the LCD screen will display INSERT PLATE. Use the 2 PLATE RELEASE buttons to remove the plates then re-insert so they securely lock into position.
      • If you have changed the default Fahrenheit temperature reading to show Celsius, the setting will remain in the memory of the grill until the Temperature Conversion Button is pressed again, or the grill is unplugged from the wall outlet. When unplugged, the grill will revert to the default Fahrenheit temperature display.
      • The LCD screen may display HEATING during the cooking process. This is normal, indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.
      • Do not use spray-on, non-stick coatings as these will affect the performance of the non-stick cooking plates.
      • The count-down timer can be stopped or paused at any time by pressing the button within the Timer Dial a second time. The LCD screen will no longer display the count-down indicator, however, the grill will not turn off.
      • The cooking and heating cycle can be stopped at any time by turning the Temperature Dial to the OFF position. The LCD screen will display OFF, the default ’0′ time, and will cease to illuminate after 3 minutes.
      • The grill features a 1 hour Auto Shut-Off feature. This ensures that the grill is not accidentally left on for an extended period of time. If the temperature or timer dials are not adjusted within 1 hour, the Auto Shut-Off feature will automatically stop heating the cooking plates.
      • Never use metal or sharp utensils as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cooking plates.
      • Never use the leveling support to open the top cooking plate. Always use the handle to open and close the top cooking plate.

      Care

      • Your Breville Smart Grill ™is a quality appliance. The best materials were used in making it, and it was carefully engineered to let you enjoy grilled meats, vegetables, and sandwiches for years to come. However, as with any machine, it needs your care in order to operate as it is intended to.

        Routine Maintenance

        Always clean the outer body, Drip Tray, and Cooking Plates after each use to prevent a buildup of ingredients.

        NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads on any of the interior or exterior surfaces of the grill. These will scratch the surfaces and damage the nonstick coating on the Cooking Plates.

        CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE THE BODY, POWER CORD OR POWER PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID AS THIS MAY CAUSE ELECTROCUTION.

        Cleaning the outer body

        Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid buildup of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the grill surface, before cleaning. Rinse. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

        Cleaning the Drip Tray

        After each use, slide out the Drip Tray and discard contents. Wash the Drip Tray in warm soapy water with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be used to avoid buildup of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the tray, before cleaning. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Always reinsert the Drip Tray into the grill after cleaning and prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

        CAUTION: EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN HANDLING THE DRIP TRAY CONTAINING HOT FATS AND JUICES.

        Cleaning the Cooking Plates

        Release and remove the Cooking Plates. Always ensure the grill is completely cool. Wash the Cooking Plates in hot soapy water with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be used to avoid buildup of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the plate, before cleaning. Remove stubborn residue with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush.

        NOTE: The underside of the Cooking Plate may discolor over time and can form a layer of corrosion. This is normal. Any discoloration that may occur to either side of the Cooking Plate will only detract from the appearance of the plate and will not affect the cooking performance. To remove discoloration or corrosion, use a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly. NOTE: Ensure the round pad on the underside of the plate is clean.

      Grilling Tips

      Judging Doneness

      The USDA recommended Internal Temperatures are as follows:
      ● Medium – 150°F
      ● Medium Well – 160°F
      ● Well Done – 170°F
      • Rare – Cook for a few minute per side, depending on thickness. Turn once only. Cook until steak feels very soft with the back of a set of tongs. A meat thermometer will show internal temperature of a rare steak as 130 – 140°F (55 – 60°C).
      • Medium Rare – Cook on one side until moisture is just visible on the 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 the back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium rare steak as 140 – 150°F (60- 65°C)
      • Medium – Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on the top surface. Turn once only. Cook on second side until moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium when it feels springy with the back of a set of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium steak as 150 – 160°F (65 – 70°C)
      • Medium Well – Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on the top surface. Turn and cook on the second side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce the heat slightly and continue to cook until the steak feels firm with the back of a set of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium well steak as 160 – 170°F (70 – 75°C).
      • Well Done – Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on the top surface. Turn and cook on the second side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce the heat slightly and continue to cook until the steak feels very firm with the back of a set of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a well done steak as 170°F (75°C)

      Troubleshooting

      Uneven Heating

      Though the element on the Smart Grill™ is designed to ensure that the grill plate is as evenly heated as possible, cool spots will be noticed. Particularly the front right corner on the top plate and the back left corner on the bottom plate. These are where the connections for the grill plates reside, including the locks and sensors. As such that area is more for components and needs to stay a bit cooler just to make sure everything remains in working order. While grilling, those two sections may seem noticeably cooler. If the grill is being used closed, the opposing side of the plate should make up for much of that coolness, meaning if the front right corner on the top plate is cooler, the front right corner on the bottom plate will not be cool. To make sure that these cool spots do not affect the food being grilled, move the food around the plate just a bit.
