Before First Use
Before using the drawer for the first time we recommend that you
Preheat the empty drawer for thirty minutes with the temperature
control at the six O’clock position. A slightly unpleasant smell may be
produced, caused by grease remaining on the heating element from
the production process.
•Read the user instructions carefully before using the
drawer for the first time.
•Follow the instructions for first use.
•Clean the drawer regularly.
•Remove spills as soon as they occur.
•Always use oven gloves when removing shelves and
trays from the drawer.
•Do not allow children near the drawer when in use.
•Do not allow fat or oils to build up on the grill pan or
drawer base.
•Do not place any cooking utensils or plates directly on the
drawer base.
•Always grill with the drawer closed.
•Do not grill food containing fat without using the grill pan
grid.
•Do not cover the grill pan grid or the drawer walls with
aluminium foil.
•Do not perform maintenance or cleaning without first
switching o the electricity supply. If the drawer has
recently been used, allow to cool.

•Do not place hot metallic parts in water. Leave them to
cool first.
•Do not allow vinegar, coee, milk, saltwater, lemon or
tomato juice to remain in contact with metal parts.
•Do not leave the grill drawer unattended whilst in use.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners or powders that will
scratch the surface of the steel.

grill drawer.
This drawer has been fitted with a cooling fan to
achieve maximum eciency and to maintain low surface
temperatures. The cooling fan will switch on automatically
when the drawer switches on. It is normal for the cooling
fan to run for an hour or more after use, depending on the
duration and temperature used.

correctly do not operate the grill drawer. Contact CDA

Care And Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Before cleaning or any service operation is started, the appliance
must be disconnected from the power supply.
If the drawer has been in use, let the drawer cavity and the heating
elements cool down before attempting any maintenance.
The drawer exterior and control panel
As the drawer has a stainless steel and glass surface, you should
use a nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will
scratch the surface. Stainless steel can be eectively cleaned by
simply using a dilute solution of water and mild detergent and drying
to a shine with a clean cloth.
Proprietary stainless steel cleaners are available. We recommend the
CDA E-Cloth available from the CDA Sales Team for cleaning stainless
steel surfaces as this has been designed to prolong the finish of your
appliance.
The drawer interior
The drawer should always be cleaned after use but only when it has
cooled down.
The interior should be cleaned using a mild detergent solution and
warm water. Proprietary chemical cleaners must not be used.
Abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads/cloths should not be used.

10
IMPORTANT:
•Steam cleaners must not be used
when cleaning this appliance.
•Once care and maintenance is
complete, ensure that all parts are
correctly replaced before using the
grill drawer.
The drawer can be removed to facilitate
cleaning.
- Pull out the drawer fully.
- Open the drawer release levers,
positioned underneath the drawer
runners, as shown in figure 2.
- Carefully slide the drawer forwards to
remove it from the runners.
To replace the drawer, locate it on
the runners and push back into the
housing.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the drawer runners lock
into the drawer release levers. A `click’
sound signifies the drawer is locked to
the runners.

Installation
Important
The grill drawer is not intended to be installed under a worktop and is
intended to be installed underneath a CDA compact appliance.
Do not install this product in locations where the top of the grill drawer
is within 25mm of a wooden supporting shelf.
Failure to allow adequate ventilation to the appliance may result in
overheating or damage to adjacent units and could invalidate the
warranty.
This appliance is type X installation.
The walls of the kitchen units must be able to withstand temperatures
of 75˚C above ambient (typically this is between 90˚C and 100˚C).
When correctly installed ensure that there is a gap of 4mm minimum
between the sides of the grill drawer and adjacent furniture doors.
Lift the grill drawer carefully into position on the shelf, taking care NOT
to lift it by the drawer handle. When the drawer is open, there are two
screw holes visible, one on each side of the housing. The grill drawer
should then be secured to the housing by fitting screws into these
holes. Remember the housing should not be free standing but be
secured to the wall and/or adjacent fittings.

12
How to install your grill drawer
You will need the following housing
area to install your grill drawer correctly.
The grill drawer is designed to fit into
a cabinet of 600mm width with a
clearance between the side and rear of
the grill drawer of 5mm or more.
The grill drawer should be built in,
but you must ensure that it is properly
ventilated as described below.
In the diagram shown in figure 4 an
open channel is shown at the rear
of the housing unit for ventilation
purposes; this is standard with most
housing units. The dimensions of
the rear channel should be 500mm x
25mm as a minimum.
The top of the unit should be open to allow air to escape and a free
air intake should be provided in the housing unit to allow a natural
flow of cooling air inside the unit. The dimensions of the air intake are
recommended as 500mm x 25mm (or 1250cm2).
The maximum weight of an appliance to be installed above the grill
drawer is 60kg.
