5. Operating Instructions

The MultiGrill 9 CG 9047 offers three primary cooking positions and precise temperature control for optimal results.

5.1 Powering On and Preheating

1. Ensure the grill is plugged in. Press the power button to turn on the appliance.

5.2 Cooking Positions

The MultiGrill can be used in three versatile positions:

• Contact Grill Position: Ideal for grilling sandwiches, paninis, meat, and vegetables. The food is cooked simultaneously from both sides, ensuring even results. The floating hinge system adjusts to the thickness of your food.
• Open Barbecue Position: Fully open the grill to create two large, flat cooking surfaces. Perfect for grilling larger quantities of food, such as up to 12 burger patties, or for cooking different items at varying temperatures simultaneously.
• Oven Position: Use the grill in a partially open position to bake or roast items, similar to an oven. This is suitable for delicate foods or for keeping items warm.

5.3 Individual Temperature Control

Each cooking plate has its own temperature control dial, allowing you to cook different foods at their ideal temperatures simultaneously. For example, you can grill vegetables on one plate at a lower temperature while searing meat on the other at a higher temperature.

5.4 Booster Function

Activate the Booster function to rapidly heat the plates up to 250°C. This is ideal for achieving perfect searing and optimal roasting aromas, ensuring your food is cooked to perfection with a crispy finish.
