General Safety Instructions
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this
type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe
place for future reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase
receipt and carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of
the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when
using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond
to the voltage stated on the appliance rating label and your outlet socket is
properly earthed. If this is not the case, do not use the appliance.
• Connection: Insert the plug properly into a mains socket with an earthing
contact. Make sure the socket is within easy reach so the plug can easily be
removed if necessary. To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use a high
wattage appliance on the same circuit with the appliance.
• Protect from moisture: To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the
cord, plug or the detachable temperature regulator in water or other liquid.
Do not expose the electrical connections to water. Do not touch the plug or
temperature regulator with wet or damp hands, or use the appliance on a wet
floor. Do not expose the appliance to high humidity or rain.
• Do not use near water: Do not use the appliance where it could fall into
water. Should it fall into water while it is plugged in, immediately turn off the
power at the outlet and remove the plug. Do not reach into the water to
retrieve it. Before reuse, make sure to have the appliance inspected by a
qualified technician.
• Power cord: The power supply cord should be run in such a way that there
will be no risk of anyone pulling it inadvertently or tripping over it. Do not kink
or damage the power cord. Do not let it hang over sharp edges or touch hot
surfaces. Do not carry or pull the appliance by the cord.
• Extension cord: We strongly recommend not to use this appliance with an
extension cord. If you must use an extension lead, make sure it is in perfect
condition and contains an earth wire with a minimum capacity of 10A. Arrange
the extended cord so that unintentional touching or drawing is impossible.
• Damaged power cord: Check the power cord regularly for signs of damage.
If it is damaged, do not use it. The cord must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its authorised service centres or similarly qualified personnel in order to avoid
any hazards. Contact our after sales support line for advice.

Before you start
• Unpack: When unpacking the appliance, keep all packaging materials until
you have made sure your new Electric Barbeque is undamaged and in good
working order. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and
young children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach.
• Inspect: Unwind the cord of the temperature regulator to its full length and
inspect it for damage. Do not use the appliance if any part has been damaged
or is not working properly. In case of damage, contact our after sales support
line for advice on examination, repair or return of the damaged product.

entirely harmless. Leave the unit powered on for a few minutes until all odour
and/or smoke has dissipated. Ensure there is adequate ventilation.
• Condition: Before using the Electric Barbeque for the first time, we
recommend you condition the non-stick coated grill surface for long-term
protection. To do this, brush or spray a small amount of cooking oil onto the
plate with a paper towel and wipe off any excess.
• Ready! Your new Electric Barbeque is now ready for use.If you do not want to
grill food at this stage, turn the heat off, disconnect the temperature regulator
and let the appliance cool.

Instructions
Using the Electric Barbeque
• Place the barbeque on a flat, level surface, protected from wind, rain and water
splashes. (If using the barbeque in the open, position the grill hood so it acts as
a windbreak.)
• Insert the temperature regulator into the appliance socket and the plug into an
appropriate wall outlet.
• Turn the temperature control knob (14) to the required temperature setting:
The temperature indicator lamp comes on and will stay illuminated until the set
temperature is reached. (It usually takes about three minutes to heat up.)
• Place the food to be grilled on the grill plate (3) and cook, turning it once.
• If appropriate for the type of food you are cooking, close the hood to
accelerate the cooking time.
• When the food is cooked to your liking, turn the temperature control knob to
the MIN position and remove the cooked food with a nonmetallic spatula.
CAUTION: Do not use metal utensils. To prevent scratching the non-stick
coated grill plate, only use wooden, silicone or heatproof plastic
utensils.
• Press the quick release lever and disconnect the temperature regulator.
Remove the plug and let the appliance cool down before cleaning.

Instructions (Cont.)
Tips for grilling
• Grilled meat will become more tender if you marinate it before cooking.
Marinades generally include some oil (to moisten), vinegar or wine (to
tenderise) and seasonings (to flavour).
• Always use tongs or some form of heat-resistant scoop to turn the grilled food
over. Using a fork to turn the food will dry it out and damage the non-stick
coating.
• Only turn meat and fish once during grilling. You do not need to turn it more
than once, and too much turning dries food out.
• Never cook meat for too long. Fast cooking cuts of beef, lamb, even pork are
more juicy and tender when they are still a little pink inside.
• If cooked food sticks to the grill plate, rub the plate with a piece of kitchen
paper soaked in oil from time to time.
Grilling times
The temperature settings and cooking times for the foods listed below are
suggested for your reference only; amend as required. Cooking times will depend
on the size and weight of the food to be grilled, the type/cut of meat, and on
factors such as use of the grill hood.
Food Temperature Setting Grilling Time (min)
Beef (steak) 5 15 – 20
Lamb (cutlet/chop) 5 12 – 18
Chicken (drumstick) 5 25 – 30
Pork (cutlet/chop) 5 20 – 25
Chicken (wings) 5 15 – 20
Pork (fillet) 4 – 5 9 – 10
Whole fish 5 12 – 15
Skewered meat (kebabs) 3 – 4 10 – 12
Sausages (various types) 3 – 4 12 – 15

• Why is the temperature indicator lamp sometimes on and sometimes off
while I’m using the barbeque?
When the temperature of the grill plate drops below the set level, the
thermostat will switch on the heating element and the temperature indicator
lamp will come on. It will stay illuminated until the plate has reached the set
temperature again.
• Do the grill surfaces have to be oiled, and if so, what oil should I use?
The grill plate is non-stick coated to prevent food sticking to it. It is not
necessary to oil the plate. For best results, we therefore recommend you only
brush a little oil onto the food to be grilled.
• Can I use steel wool or a metal brush for cleaning the barbeque?
No. Do not use steel wool or metal cleaning utensils as these can damage the
non-stick coating of the grill plate. Use a plastic spatula to scrape off excess
fat and food particles baked onto the grill plate, then use a nylon scrubbing
pad to remove stubborn stains.
• Do I have to close the metal hood when grilling meat?
No. You can barbeque food with the hood open. However, closing the hood
will enable convection cooking and accelerate the cooking time for roasts. And
when the barbeque is not being used, the closed hood will keep it clean and
protected.
• Can I use the barbeque indoors?
Yes. The grill can be used with or without the stand. However, when using it
on the benchtop, take particular care with the lid so the appliance does not tip
over.
• Do I have to disassemble the barbeque during storage?
No. When you are not going to use your barbeque for a long time, we
recommend covering it with a large plastic bag to protect it from dust and dirt.
Store it, with the temperature regulator disconnected, in a dry place, out of
children's reach. Make sure the grill is clean and dry before storing.
