Grill Pan Handle

GB
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle
securely before use:
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external
‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)
and holds the pan from the bottom.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into
the grill pan will make the collection of grease
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of
smoke.
