electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:
Important safeguards for your Breville Ikon Grill
•Carefully read all instructions before operating and
save for future reference.

Remove any promotional materials and packaging
materials before use. Check that the cooking plates
are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over
with a damp cloth.
When using the Breville Ikon Grill for the first time
you may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by
the heating of some of the components. There is no
need for concern.
To use as a grill
1. Insert the plug into a 230/240v power outlet and
switch the power ON. The Red power ‘On’ light
will illuminate.
2. Ensure the Removable drip tray is correctly
inserted and positioned correctly into the
appliance (see Fig 1).
3. Ensure the top and bottom grill plates are
securely locked into position (Fig 2).
4. Ensure the top plate is in the closed position for
more efficient pre-heating.
5. Turn the tilt control to the ‘Angle’ position, to
ensure better fat drainage.
6. Turn the variable temperature control to ‘Sear’
for fast heat up.
7. Allow the Ikon Grill to preheat until the green
‘Ready’ light illuminates.
8. Place meat or foods to be cooked on the bottom
cooking plate. Refer to Grilling recipes or guide
for cooking times.
It is important that the Ikon grill plates are
securely locked into position when using the grill.

of the food. The top plate must be fully lowered
to achieve grill marks onto the food.
9. When the selected ingredients are grilled, use the
handle to open the top lid. Remove the food
using a plastic spatula.
To use as a sandwich press
1. Insert the plug into a 230/240v power outlet and
switch the power on. The red power ‘On’ light
will illuminate.
2. Ensure the Removable Drip Tray is correctly

Hints for best results for grilling
Meat
For best Grilling results use meat cuts which are
thick enough to touch the top and base plate when
the Ikon Grill is closed.
Recommended Cuts
Beef Sirloin (New York), Rump,
Rib Eye (Scotch Fillet), Fillet,
Lamb Trim Lamb Leg Steaks, Fillet, Eye of Loin,
Cutlets and Diced Lamb.
Pork Butterfly loin Steaks, Spare Ribs,
Leg Steaks, Fillets, Diced Pork.
•Tougher cuts such as beef blade, topside steak
or lamb forequarter or neck chops can be used.
To tenderise these cuts marinate them for a
few hours or overnight in a marinade with
wine or vinegar to help break down the
connective tissue.
•It is not recommended to cook items with thick
bones such as T-bone steaks.
•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 Ikon 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.
Operating your Breville Ikon Grill continued
Grilling Guide
Contact Grilling is a healthy and efficient way to cook. The cooking times are approximate due to variances
in ingredient thickness.
It is not recommended to cook items with thick bones such as T-bone steaks.
These times relate to when the grill is in the closed and on the contact position.

Care, cleaning and storage
Before cleaning, switch the power off at the power
outlet and then remove the plug. Allow your smart
Ikon Grill to cool before cleaning. The appliance is
easier to clean when slightly warm.
Always clean your Ikon Grill after each use to
prevent a build up of baked-on foods.
Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food
residue. For baked on food residue follow “using the
plate release feature” page 9, remove the grill plates
from the grill for cleaning. Wash in hot soapy water.
Remove stubborn residue with a non abrasive plastic
scouring pad or nylon washing brush. Rinse and dry
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth and replace.
The cooking plates are coated with a non-stick
surface, do not use abrasives.
Note
Do not use spray-on non-stick coatings as this
will affect the performance of the non-stick
surface on the cooking plates.
Note
Cleaning the drip tray
Remove and empty the Drip Tray after each use and
wash the tray in warm, soapy water. Avoid the use of
scouring pads or harsh detergents as they may
damage the surface.
Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth
and replace.
Quantanium scratch resistant coating
Your Ikon Grill features a special scratch resistant
non-stick coating that makes it safe to use metal
utensils when cooking.
Regardless of this fact, Breville recommends that
care is taken with the non-stick coating particularly
when using metal utensils.
Do not use sharp objects or cut food inside the
Ikon Grill. Breville will not be liable for damage to
the non-stick coating where metal utensils have
been misused.
Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the need
for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier.
Any discolouration that may occur will only detract
from the appearance of the Ikon Grill and will not
affect the cooking performance.
When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use
metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash in hot soapy
water. Remove stubborn residue with a non abrasive
plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush.
14
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF THE BREVILLE IKON GRILL IN WATER OR
ANY OTHER LIQUID.
15
Storage
To store your Ikon Grill:
1. Switch off at power outlet and unplug from
the wall.
2. Allow the Ikon Grill to fully cool.
3. Slide the Adjustable Grill Height Control Slide
towards the front handle to the LOCK position
so that the top and bottom cooking plates are
locked together.
4. Click the removable drip tray into place.
5. Wrap the cord in the cord storage area below
the appliance.
6. Store on a flat, dry, level surface.
