more moist, from the rising steam.
With the lava rocks: the food will have a
more pronounced grilled aroma and
flavor.
^Check that the drain valve is closed.
^Remove the grate, raise the heating
element, and remove the lava rock
container (if desired).
^Fill the water trough:
–if grilling without lava rocks with
water up to mark a, with approx.
2 quarts (1.8 liters) of water (CS1312)
4 quarts (4.0 liters) of water (CS1322)
–if grilling with lava rocks with approx
1 quart (1.2 liters) of water (CS1312)
2 quarts (1.8 liters) of water (CS1322
^Return the filled lava rock container
to the water trough (if desired).
^The heating element can now be
turned down.
^Replace the grates.
Turning On/Off
The electric barbecue is divided into
two heating areas, which can be used
and adjusted separately. For large
quantities, you can use the entire

Grilling
While grilling, watch the level of
water in the trough. If necessary,
add more water.
Do not use aluminum dishes, pans,
pots or foil on the electric barbecue.
Never cover the grate with aluminum
foil. Aluminum will cause
overheating and may damage the
grate.
^Turn one or both operating knobs to
power level "12".
Pre-heat the electric barbecue with
the rack(s) in place for approx.
10 minutes.
Make sure the operating knob(s) are
set precisely to power level 12.
If the knobs are not set to the exact
position, the heating will not work
with maximum power.
^Set the power level.
^Grill food as desired.
Tips
–To minimize splattering, dry moist
foods with paper towels before
grilling.
–Marinate food before grilling, to
enhance the flavors.
–To prevent sticking, non-marinated
items should be brushed lightly with
oil before grilling. Only use oils that
can tolerate high temperatures.
–You can shorten the grilling time for
potatoes in foil and corn on the cob,
by pre-cooking the potatoes for
approx. 15 - 40 minutes (depending
on the size) and the corn for approx.
10 - 15 minutes.
After grilling
^Turn the appliance off.
^After each use, clean the appliance
while it is still somewhat warm to the
touch (see "Cleaning and care").

,Under no circumstances should
you use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. Pressurized steam
could cause permanent damage to
the surface and to components.
Never use strong cleaners e.g. oven
sprays, stain or rust removers.
Scouring pads and abrasive
cleaning agents should only be
used on the heating element.
Do not use any sharp pointed
objects which could damage the
seal between the ceramic surface
and the surrounding frame, and
between the frame and the
countertop.
When using cleaning agents for
stainless steel always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
After cleaning use a soft, dry cloth to
remove any moisture. This way you
will prevent the build up of limescale
deposits.
Stainless steel
Clean stainless steel surfaces with
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a non-abrasive sponge
and then wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Soak baked or hardened spills first to
loosen them.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can also be used.
Apply sparingly with even pressure.
Do not use stainless steel cleaner on
or around the printing, it may rub
off. Use only a soft sponge with
some dish liquid and warm water to
clean this area.
Grates and lava rock container
After each use, clean the grates and
lava rock container with warm water
and liquid dish soap. Pre-soak any
heavy soiling, then remove with a
brush. Dry throughly.
Do not use stainless steel
conditioner on the lava rock
container.
Heating element
Grill residue can best be removed from
the heating element using a scouring
pad.
Cleaning and care
14

Lava rocks
Clean the lava rocks on a regular basis.
To do so, put the rocks in a container
with mild solution of warm water and
liquid dish soap. Let them soak briefly,
stirring occasionally. Drain water and
rinse rocks. Repeat this process 2 to 3
times with fresh water. Lay the rocks on
a large kitchen towel to dry.
Cleaning the lava rocks removes the
used layer to expose a fresh
surface. The rate at which the lava
rocks become worn depends on the
frequency and duration of use.
If the amount of lava rocks in the
lava rock container has deceased
by half, the container must be
refilled.
Water trough
^Let the water cool to a safe
temperature to prevent burns.
^Place a container (large enough to
hold all water in the trough) under the
drain valve.
^Slowly open the drain valve by
turning it counterclockwise,a.
^Once the water has drained, close
the drain valve by turning it
clockwise,buntil the water flow
stops.
^Fill the water trough with a mild
solution of liquid dish soap and warm
water, and rinse it out thoroughly.
Use a bottle brush to clean the drain
^Allow the solution to drain.
^Rinse with warm water and dry.
Do not use stainless steel
conditioner on the water trough.
Make sure that the underside of the
appliance is always accessible for
draining away the water. Remember
to let the water cool before draining
to prevent burns.
Cleaning and care
15

,Repairs should only be carried out by an authorized technician in
accordance with local and national safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs
