OPERATION ______________________________
Grilling
Notes
7 Before you place food on the grill, let the grill
preheat for a few minutes.
7 For optimal grilling results, place the food in
the middle of the grill plates.
7 The grilling time depends on the type of food,
the thickness and your individual taste.
1 Lay the food in the middle of the lower grill
plate. Use the handle G to open and close
the grill.
2 Turn temperature settings indicator E to posi-
tion 1.
– The temperature setting button E illumi-
nates and the process starts.
3 Turn the temperature setting button E to 0 po-
sition when you want to stop the process and
disconnect the out of wall socket.
4 Take out the food from the grill.
Caution
7 Be very careful when taking the food out of the
appliance as the metal parts of the appliance
and the food can become very hot.
7 Use tools made of wood or suitable plastic
to turn the food or take it off the grill. Metal
objects could cause short circuits or electric
shocks. Do not damage the heating elements
and mechanics.

Hints and tips
7 Sausages could burst during grilling and can
lead to injuries and cause a mess. Therefore
poke sausages or cut them a little before
putting them on the grill.
7 Fresh meat produces better results than frozen
or thawed out meat.
7 It is important that the meat is not too thick.
Grilling positions
Closed position
The closed position is suited for grilling at high
temperatures. The upper and lower grill plates
come into contact with food. This position is suit-
able for preparing sandwiches, toast, pizza,
panini, hamburger, steaks and other food which
require high upper and lower temperatures.
Table grill position
In this position, the grill can be folded out and
thus offers two large grilling areas. This position is
suitable for preparing sausages, steaks, fish, veg-
etables and fruit.
1 Release the locking slide B on both sides.
2 Pull the handle G up and hold it in this position.
3 Guide the upper half of the grill downwards.
4 Turn the adjustable stand to the table grill posi-
tion in order to simplify drainage of grease and
juice. For the closed position, turn the back into
