Never place the device in wet or damp locations.
Place the device so that it is easily accessible, leaving enough space to freely
service the device and ensure appropriate air circulation.
Never place the device directly against walls, low walls, furniture or other objects
which are made of flammable material. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm at the
sides and at the rear from walls and other objects. Take into account the applicable
fire protection regulations.
If keeping the above mentioned distance is impossible, apply appropriate safety
measures (e.g. heat-resistant foil), which will ensure keeping the wall’s temperature
within the safe range.
Before the first use, remove the protective foil from the device. Remove the foil slowly
not to leave glue residues. Remove possible glue residues with appropriate solvent.
CAUTION!
Never remove the type plate and warning signs from the device.
Place the unit so that the plug is easily accessible and can be quickly removed from
its socket in case of necessity.
Connection

The device can cause injuries due to improper installation!
Before installation and connecting the local power grid
specification should be compared with that of the device
(see rating plate). Connect the device only in case of
compliance!
The electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the
unit directly to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power strips.

5.2 Operation
Prepare the device
The device should be thoroughly cleaned before the first use. Follow instructions in
section 6 “Cleaning and maintenance”.
WARNING
Never use the device without the properly attached drip tray.
Mount the fat collection container in front of the device, under the edge of lower grill
plate. That container is used for collecting the grilling residuals dripping during the
process.
Grilling juices and fat drip during the
grilling process on the edge of lower grill
plate to the fat collection container (9)
(fig. on the left).
Regularly check and empty the fat
collection container (9).
Before cleaning, always leave the device
and the fat collecting pan to completely
cool down.
Remove the fat collection container (9)
from the device, clean and thoroughly
dry before reinstalling.
Device start-up
Connect the device to the single grounded socket.
Switch on the device with ON/OFF switch, setting it in position “I”. The red indicator
light (16) (fig. on page 30) will come on signalling that the device is turned on.
Heat the device for at least 20 minutes without food inside, setting it at 200°C (see
section “Settings”), to remove any production residuals. Due to use of industrial
greases smoke may be emitted from the device. That smoke will not occur during the
next use. When heating up the device, make sure there is appropriate air circulation
in the room.

Settings
Temperature
Heat the device to required temperature before
placing food inside. Set temperature with use
of temperature control knob (15) (fig. on the
left). Temperature may be set in range from
100 °C to 300 °C, the optimum grilling
temperature is 250 °C - 280 °C.
Green heating indicator (14) is on during heating
and goes off after reaching the preset temperature.
Time
It is possible to set time of final cooking of selected
food when required.
To do this, use the time setting button (12). The
digital display (11) shows „SET“.
Use Start/Stop button (13), the digital display (11)
shows set number.
Press the time setting button (12) until the digital
display shows the selected value. After 2 seconds
the setting will be accepted automatically. Set other
values and confirm them with Start/Stop button (13).
When the preset time passes the acoustic signal
is emitted.
Instructions for preparation of food
The contact grill is designed for gentle preparation of food with a very low
amount of fat.
Use oil of high smoke point, such as rapeseed or sunflower seed oil.
Meat and fat require smaller amounts of oil, because they already contain grease;
when grilling fish and vegetables more oil can be applied on the lower grill plate.
The addition of oil reduces sticking or burning of food on the grilling surface.
To avoid transmission of smell and taste of one food to another, remove their
remains from the grilling surface between subsequent grilling stages.

Grilling/heating
Set temperature (up to 300°C) suitable for selected food and turn the device on.
The heating time is approx. 25 - 30 minutes.
In the meantime prepare food products for grilling or heating.
Open the pre-heated device by lifting the upper grill plate using the handle until it
stops.
Use heat-resistant brush to spread the vegetable oil on the lower grill plate or
spray the plate with baking oil three or four times. It allows for closing the large
pores and creation of coating. It is also possible to use the cooking paper during
preparation of food.
Hints: When preparing bakery products it is not required to apply oil
on the grill plates.
Put selected food on the plates.
Close the device by lowering the upper grill plate using the handle. When required,
adjust the upper grill plate with use of knob in front of that plate.
Never leave the device unattended during grilling.

grill is very hot. Never touch the device during operation
or shortly after. Use the appropriate handle when
opening and closing the device.
After grilling is finished, open the device with the handle and remove the grilled
food.
Avoid using hard or sharp objects to prevent grill plates from damaging. You may use
wooden spatula, heat resistant tongs or heat resistant plastic forks.
Turn the device off
To turn the device off set the temperature control knob to position “0” and ON/OFF
switch to position “OFF”.
