Safety
~DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS
OR AREAS NEAR UNITS
Surface units may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units may become hot enough
to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
~Protect your hands with oven mitts
or potholders when using the
appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let the potholder
touch the hot heating elements. Do not
use towels or other bulky items near the
appliance.
~Do not heat unopened containers.
Built-up pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
~Never use the appliance to heat a
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the appliance
could catch fire.
~Do not use the appliance until it has
been properly installed in the
countertop.
~Do not store items on the appliance
when not in use. Items could melt or
catch fire from residual heat or if the
appliance is turned on inadvertently.
~Never cover the appliance with a
cloth. A fire may result.
~Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments when operating the
appliance, they may present a fire
hazard.
~Never leave an appliance
unattended at high settings or when
cooking with oil or fat. Overheated oil
could ignite. Always heat oil slowly,
monitoring it as it heats.
~Do not store aerosols, combustibles
or any other easily flammable materials
underneath or adjacent to the
appliance.
~Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother or use a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher on any fire or
flame.
~Do not use aluminum dishes, pans,
pots or foil on the electric barbecue.
Never cover the electric barbecue
grate with aluminum foil. Aluminum will
cause overheating and may damage
the grate.
~Clean the lava rocks on a regular
basis and change them when needed.
Fat-saturated stones can easily catch
fire.
~The water trough must always be
filled with water when the appliance is
being used.
~Make certain that the power cords of
small appliances do not come in
contact with the appliance. The
insulation of the cable could become
damaged. Danger of electric shock!
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

have a protective coating which may
give off a slight odor the first time the
appliance is heated.
The smell will dissipate after a short
time and does not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance defect.
Before using for the first use
9

Prepare the appliance
You can use the electric barbecue with
or without the lava rocks.
Without the lava rocks: food will stay
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
surface for cooking. For smaller
quantities, you can, for example, cook
in the front and keep food warm at the
back, using a lower setting.
^To turn a heating area on, press the
appropriate control knob down and
turn it clockwise ato the desired
setting.
^To turn a heating area off, turn the
control knob counterclockwise bto
"0".
When the appliance is turned on, the
On/Off indicator Ncomes on. It goes out
when it is turned off.
Do not turn a heating area on
without pressing the control knob
down, and do not turn the knob past
"12" to reach "0".

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").
^After grilling with the lava rocks
check the condition of the rocks. If
they are dark in color, they are
saturated with fat and need to be
cleaned or replaced. See "Cleaning
and Care - Lava rocks".

Safety Feature
13

,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
