Special case: Installation in a stone worktop
Safety instructions
■ The grilling surfache must be built into a worktop opening! Do not use the
appliance if it has not been installed!
■ The appliances may only be installed and connected to the mains,
maintained and repaired by a qualified electrician according to valid safety
regulations. Work carried out incorrectly places your safety at risk.
■ Danger of burning! The grilling zone becomes hot
during operation. Therefore caution: Generally keep
little children away from the appliance.
■ The appliance is to be used only for the preparation of food in the home.
■ The glass ceramic surface is very tough and can easily stand light to
medium blows and loads distributed over large areas. You should, however,
avoid concentrated loads, such as containers for spices and herbs or bottles
falling onto the surface. Lumped impact loads may result in a breaking of
the grilling surface.
■ In case of cracks, fractures or breaches of the grilling surface immediately
put the appliance out of operation. Disconnect fuse, call customer service.
■ Never flambé under the cooker hood - the fat in the filter can ignite!
■ The connecting cable must not contact the hot grilling surface.
■ Caution: Overheated greases and oils may inflame themselves. Prepare
meals with greases and oils only under control. Never extinguish ignited fats
and oils with water!
■ The grilling surface must not be used as depositing place when hot.
■ Take care when working with attachments! The connecting cable must not
contact the hot grilling surface.
■ Do not put kitchen foil or plastic onto the grilling surface. Things that
may melt, e.g. plastics, foils or sugar, must be kept away from the grilling
surface. Melted parts must immediately be lifted off from the grilling
surface when still hot by means of the supplied cleaning scraper in order
to avoid damaging.
■ Avoid repeated burning of contaminations.
■ Lime deposits are harmful to the grilling surface.
■ Never use silicone-containing cleansing agents to clean the grilling surface!
Please observe the cleaning and servicing instructions.

Using the appliance
Before using the first time
– Before preparing the first meals clean the grilling surface by means of a
moist cloth and a bit washing-up liquid.
Afterwards wipe it dry with a non-fluffy cloth.
The grilling surface
■ The grilling surface is resistant against thermal shocks (coldness and heat)
and also very robust.
■ When switching on the grilling zone a short buzzing noise may be heard
from the heating. This is design-specific and has no influence on quality
and operation.
■ We would like to indicate that scratches on the grilling surface caused by
improper cleaning or cutting with knives do not have a negative influence
on the operation of the device. They merely impair the appearance of the
appliance.
The grilling zone is controlled by the grilling zone regulator.
Switching on the grilling zone
– Turn the regulator to the desired grill level.
Grill levels
9 grill levels are marked on the grilling zone
regulator. You can also select intermediate
settings.
Outline of the grill levels:
The barbecue only heats in order to reach or maintain the preset temperature
setting. This means that the barbecue – also in level 9 – does not permanently
heat with full power, but always switches off for a short time. This “cycling”
is absolutely okay and does in no way represent a fault.
Switching off the grilling zone
– Turn the regulator to the “0” position.
Grilling
[Please do not use olive oil for grilling. Burnt in residues of olive oil can
only be removed with great difficulties.
– Preheat the barbecue immediately before grilling for approx. 5 minutes in
grill level 9.
– Place the food directly on the grilling surface. Do not use aluminium foil or
similar.
– Grill the meat on both sides at grill level 9 until it can be taken off from the
grilling surface. In this way the meat juices remain in the grill goods.
– Then switch down, if required (e.g. level 6), and grill the meat until it is
done. Toss thick pieces of meat or sausages several times.
– Remove the grilling residuals by means of the cleaning scraper after every
grilling procedure.
FIf the barbecue has been operated at a low temperature setting,
preheat it at temperature setting 9 again before putting new meat
on it.
FDo not grease the grilling surface with oil. Lean meat can be greased
with oil.
FWhen grilling very fatty foods, carefully dab away the fat using a paper
kitchen towel.
FIn case of pickled meat, remove surplus grease and coarse spices (like
onions, leaves or thyme).
FPlease keep in mind that large quantities of meat and sausages need
longer grilling times than small quantities. We therefore recommend to
grill several smaller quantities one after the other.

Cleaning and Care
[Sugar and food containing sugar (e.g. marmalade) and melted plastic
must immediately be removed with the cleaning scraper from the hot
cooking surface otherwise the surface can be destroyed when cooling
down.
[Never use cleansers which contain silicon. These will leave a film on the
grill surface which could be absorbed by the food upon next use.
Therefore, follow the instructions of the manufacturer in this regard.
■ Clean the grilling surface after every use.
■ Use only the glass scraper provided for removing large food particles left
from grilling.
■ Never use abrasive materials such as steel wool or abrasive cleansers!
■ Make sure that no cleaning residuals remain on the grilling surface.
FResidues of cleaning agents can cause discolouring the next time you
switch it on. Cloths and sponges which are used for the cleaning of other
surfaces can cause discolouring.
■ We recommend you to rub down the grill surface with half a lemon or lemon
juice. Any slight dirt marks from protein, e.g. from meat, is removed and
the grill surface shines again.
Using a cleaning scraper
[Caution! Risk of cutting! The blade of the cleaning scraper is very sharp!
[Attention: When cleaning the grilling surface do not reach between
grilling surface and housing with the peak of the cleaning scraper!
Always keep the cleaning scraper flat on the
surface and push the caking away.
[Do not scratch the surface with the edge of
the scraper.
Cleaning the grilling surface
[Make sure that no cleaning residuals remain on the grilling surface.
– First of all remove all food residuals and fat splashes from the hot grilling
surface by means of the cleaning scraper.
– Clean the grilling surface with water and some detergent.
– Rewipe it with clear water and finally dry it.
FIn case there are still some soil particles left on the grilling surface after
cleaning, they can easily be removed by means of a special cleansing
agent, e.g. VSR O-FIX-C (available from the Küppersbusch Customer
service). Then wipe off the entire grilling surface with a wet and
afterwards with a dry cloth.
What to do if trouble occurs...
[Never unscrew the device! Repairs may only be carried out by a qualified
technician!
You can deal with some problems that occur yourself. First check whether
there has been any operating error. Repairs during the guarantee period are
not free of charge, when they are caused by operating errors or non-
observance of the following instructions:

too strong the appliance can
crack while heating up.
FIf the grilling surface is not fixed tightly in the
opening it is slightly too big. In this case
screw the clips with two screws down each
(not supplied) to raise the spring tension.
