Safety instructions
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:
− Read all instructions before using.
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
A faulty electrical installation or excessive line voltage may result
in an electric shock.
− This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
− Only connect the grill if the line voltage of the socket
corresponds to the data on the rating plate.
− Only connect the grill to an easily accessible socket so that
you can quickly disconnect the grill from the power supply
system in the event of a fault.

Safety
9
− Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug
or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged
in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
− Do not open the housing; instead, have a qualified
professional perform repairs. Contact a qualified
workshop for this. Liability and warranty claims are
waived in the event of repairs performed by the user,
improper connection or incorrect operation.
− Only parts that comply with the original device data may
be used for repairs. Electrical and mechanical parts, which
are essential for providing protection against sources of
danger, are located in this grill.
− The grill must not be operated with an external timer or
separate telecontrol system.
− Do not immerse the grill or the power cable or power plug
in water or other liquids.
− Never touch the power plug with damp hands.
− Do not pull the power plug out of the socket by the power
cable; instead, always pull it out by the plug.
− Never use the power cable as a carrying strap.
− Keep the grill, power plug and power cable away from
open flames and hot surfaces.
− Lay the power cable so that it does not pose a tripping hazard.
− Do not kink the power cable and do not lay it over sharp
edges.
− Only use the grill in indoor spaces. Never operate it in wet
rooms or in the rain.
− Never store the grill so that it is at risk of falling into a bath
tub or washbasin.
− Never reach to retrieve an electrical device if it has fallen in
water. In such a case, immediately disconnect the power plug.
− Never leave the grill unattended while in operation.
− Make sure that children do not insert any objects in the grill.

Safety
10

WARNING!
Fire hazard!
Overloading the electrical lines could cause a fire.
− Do not switch the grill on at the same time as another
device with higher power consumption if both devices are
connected to the same socket.
− If you use an extension cable, it must correspond to valid
safety regulations.
− Make sure there is a safe distance to all flammable objects,
e.g. curtains and drapes.
WARNING!
Scalding/burn hazard!
The grill emits hot steam when opened and when in use. Parts of
the grill become hot. You could scald or burn yourself on them.

Operation
WARNING!
Scalding/burn hazard!
The grill emits hot steam when opened and when in use. Parts
of the grill become hot.
− Do not touch the hot parts of the grill with bare fingers
during operation. Always use heat-insulated oven gloves
or oven mitts to take hold of the grill and all accessories.
− Only use the handle to operate the device lid.
− Keep in mind that the grill may still emit hot steam when
switched off and it may need some time to cool off completely.
WARNING!
Burn hazard!
The grill plate in the device lid is also heated if the device lid is
opened. You could burn yourself on it.
− Be careful when grilling while the device lid is open.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
The cleaning scraper is not heat-resistant. It could melt if it comes
into contact with hot parts.
− Do not flip the food you want to grill with the cleaning scraper.
− Only use the cleaning scraper once the grill plates have
cooled off completely.
You can set the distance between the upper and lower grill plate
with the release slider. This prevents the weight of the device lid
from overburdening delicate food (e.g. fish) with its weight.

Operation
15
The middle of the back part of the grill plate is designed to not
get as hot as the rest of the grill plate. Therefore place food
with shorter cooking times there.
You can use the grill to grill food on one or both sides. Grilling on both sides is
suitable for thicker foods such as meat, fish and sandwiches. You also do not
have to flip the food you intend to grill. Grilling food on one side is suitable for
softer, thinner foods such as vegetables. Under certain circumstances, you will
have to flip the food you intend to grill.
