5.2 Operation
Preparing the device
•Clean the appliance before first use according to instructions in Section 6„Cleaning“.
•Insert the fat collecting cap.
•Connect the device to a grounded single socket . The green operating light ON /OFF
lights up and indicates that the device is connected to the power supply.
•Heat the device without food up to 200 °C (Section „Grilling of food“) in order to
possibly remove production residues. During the first heating a light smoke formation
can occur, because of inside industrial fats escape. This smoke is not harmful
and it does not occur no longer during the further use of the device.
Provide enough fresh air supply during heating.

Grilling of food
•In order to grill foods, set the desired temperature with the temperature control knob
and heat up the device. The adjustable temperature is between 50 °C and 300 °C.
The optimum temperature for grilling is 250 °C - 280 °C.
•The red heating indicator light lights up while the appliance is heated up.
•Prepare in the meantime, the food desired for grilling.
•As soon as the set temperature is reached, the red heating indicator light goes out.
•Open the heated appliance by lifting the upper grill plate with the operating handle
up to the stop.
•Spread some edible vegetable oil with a heat-resistant brush on the lower grill
plate and lay the food. Close the device by lowering the upper grill plate using
the operating handle.
•Do not leave the device during the grilling process unsupervised.
HOT SURFACE!

prepared food.
WARNING! Risk of burns!
Protect your hands and face against possible fat splashes!
•Avoid use of hard or sharp objects, in order to prevent damage to the grill plates.
Use wooden spatula, heat resistant tongs or heat-resistant plastic forks in order to
take the grilled food.
•Should the contact grill no longer be used, turn the temperature control knob to „0“
and disconnect the device from the socket (pull the power plug!).

CAUTION!
Never operate the appliance without the fat collecting pan inserted properly.
•During the grilling process the grill juices
and fat flow in the fat drain channel (9)
through the opening (9a) into the fat
collecting pan (8).
•Check and empty the fat collecting pan (8
)
regularly. Clean them if necessary, dry
them and insert it again in the device.
•Before cleaning always allow the device,
the fat collection pan and the contents to
cool completely.
Instructions for preparation of food
•The contact grill is intended for careful preparation of food with little addition of fat.
•Before you lay the desired food, give a little oil on the lower grill plate. At the best
use the oil with a high smoke point, such as rapeseed or sunflower oil.
•Meat, bacon, etc. require very little oil, because they contain their own fat; when
grilling fish or vegetables you should give a little more oil to the lower grill plate.
The addition of oil reduces sticking or burning of food on the grilling surface.
