Warning and safety instructions
Installation and connection
When using your appliance, follow
basic safety precautions including
the following:
Read all instructions before using
for the first time.
Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety
of this appliance, continuity must
exist between the appliance and an ef-
fective grounding system. It is impera-
tive that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the
electrical system of the house checked
by a qualified electrician. The manufac-
turer cannot be held responsible for
damages caused by the lack, or inade-
quacy of, an effective grounding sys-
tem.
Do not connect the appliance to
the main electrical supply using an
extension cord. Extension cords do not
meet the safety requirements of this ap-
pliance.
Before servicing, disconnect the
power supply by either removing
the fuse, unplugging the unit or ma-
nually “tripping” the circuit breaker.
Correct usage
Do not operate the appliance until-
properly installed in the countertop.
This appliance is intended for
residential use only.
Use the appliance only for its in-
tended purpose. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for dam-
ages caused by improper use of the
grill.
Never use the appliance to warm
or heat the room.
The water trough must be full when
using the appliance. To avoid
spills do not fill above the indication
mark
Do not switch on the appliance
when the heating element is raised.
This appliance must not be set up
or operated outdoors.
Warning and safety instructions

Protection from damage
Do not use any type of aluminium
products including pots, pans, and
foil on the grill. Aluminium will cause
overheating and may damage the grill
grate.
Do not drop anything on the ce-
ramic surface. Even a light object
could cause damage in certain circum-
stances.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the appliance. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
In areas subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, keep
the appliance and its surroundings
clean at all times. Any damage caused
by pests will not be covered under war-
ranty.
Warning and safety instructions
5

Protection from burns
The appliance becomes very hot
when in use. Make sure that no
one comes in contact with it. The heat-
ing element and grate may be hot even
though they are dark in color.
Do not store toys or items of inter-
est to children in cabinets above
or behind the appliance. Children
climbing onto the grill to reach these
items may become seriously injured.
Do not allow children to operate or
play with, or near, the grill.
Use only dry, heat resistant pot-
holders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let the potholder
touch the hot heating element. Do not
use towels or other bulky items near
the appliance.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting
or hanging garments should never
be worn while cooking.
Do not heat unopened food con-
tainers. Build-up pressure may
cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
Do not store items on the grill
when not in use.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the appliance.
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended while in use. Overheated
food can ignite.
Extinguish flames immediately
Replace the lava rocks regularly.
Rocks saturated with oil or fat
catch fire easily. The grill trough and
the lava rock container should be
cleaned after each use to keep them
free of oil and fat.
Never put water or ice on to a hot
grill. This can cause a serious reac-
tion leading to injury.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not store aerosols, combus-
tibles and/or any other easily
flammable materials underneath or ad-
jacent to the grill.

Further safety notes
When using a portable appliance
make sure that its power cord
does not come into contact with the
cooktop.
Always make sure food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors affect the overall cooking time,
including the size and amount of food,
its temperature, and the recipe. Some
foods may contain microorganisms that
are only destroyed by thorough cook-
ing. If in doubt, select a longer cooking
or reheating time.
Always cook pork thoroughly to en-
sure that the meat is safe to eat.
Before discarding an old ap-
pliance, remove the power cord
and any doors to prevent it from be-
coming a hazard.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND
REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
Throughout the manual, important
safety items will be highlighted in
boxes and should be read in con-
junction with these “Warning and
Safety instructions.”

Disposal of packing materials
The cardboard box and packing ma-
terials protect the appliance during
shipping. They have been designed to
be biodegradable and recyclable.
Please dispose of these materials as
you would any other recyclable pro-
ducts.
Disposal of an old appliance

Before using for the first time
10

Cleaning and heating for the
first time
Before using for the first time clean the
appliance with a damp cloth and then
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use liquid dish soap on the
ceramic surface as this can leave a
permanent blue sheen.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell the first time your new appliance
is heated.
The smell and any vapors will dissipate
after a short time and do not indicate a
faulty connection or appliance defect.
Before using for the first time
11

Using the appliance
Turning on and off
The grill can be turned on or off by turn-
ing the control knob either clockwise or
counterclockwise.
The operating indicator lamp which is
left of the control knob will illuminate
when the appliance is switched on. It
goes off after the appliance is switched
off.
Safety cut-out feature
A safety cut-out switch prevents the
heating element from turning on when it
is raised.
Before grilling
The grill can be used with or without
lava rocks. When cooking without lava
rocks, rising steam will keep the food
moist. When using lava rocks, cooking
results will be similar to barbecuing.
Preparing the grill:
Remove the grate, raise the heating
element, and remove the lava rock
container.
Fill the trough with water:
– up to line b(about 2 quarts [2.5 l ])
when grilling without lava rocks, or
– up to line c(about 1 quarts [1.2 l ])
when grilling with lava rocks.
Replace the lava rock container, if so
desired.
Lower the heating element and re-
place the grate.
The grill can now be turned on.

Grilling
While grilling, watch the level of
water in the trough. If necessary,
add more water.
Do not use aluminium dishes, pans,
pots or foil on the grill. Never cover
the the grill grate with aluminium
foil. Aluminium will cause overheat-
ingand may damage the grill grate.
Correct procedure:
Preheat the grill by setting it to "12"
and allowing it to run for approxi-
mately 5 minutes.
Grill meat for a few minutes at the
highest setting to sear the outside
and seal in the juices.
After searing, set the control knob to
"9" or "10" to finish cooking the meat.
Turn the food frequently to prevent
burning.

Tips on grilling
– To minimize splattering, dry moist
foods with paper towels before grill-
ing.
– Salt meat after grilling to prevent it
from drying out.
– Marinating meats or fish before grill-
ing will often enhance their flavor.
– To help prevent the food from stick-
ing to the grate, brush un-marinated
meats with a little oil before grilling.

Cleaning and care
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurized steam could
cause permanent damage to the
surface and to components for
which the manufacturer cannot ac-
cept responsibility.
Never use strong cleaners e.g.
oven sprays, stain or rust removers.
Scouring pads and abrasive clean-
ing agents should only be used on
the heating element.
Do not use any sharp pointed ob-
jects which could damage the seal
between the ceramic surface and
the surrounding frame and between
the frame and the countertop.

Water trough
Let the water cool to a safe tempera-
ture to prevent burns.
Place a container of a suitable size
(a metal pot for example) under the
drain valve. Slowly open the drain
valve,g, by turning it counterclock-
wise. b.
Close the valve after all the water
has drained by turning the valve
clockwise, c, until the valve can
turn no further (do not over-tighten or
jam the valve).
Make sure that the underside of the
grill is left accessible for draining
the water. Wait until the water has
cooled down before draining to
avoid the danger of being scalded.
Remove or wipe clean any residues
remaining in the reservoir. The heat-
ing element can be raised to make
this easier.
Fill the water trough with a mild solu-
tion of liqiud dish soap and warm
water, and rinse it out thoroughly.
Drain off the solution, rinse with
clean warm water and dry.
Appliance surface
Clean the ceramic surface with a soft
damp cloth and a cleaner for ceramic
surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions on the packaging. Do not
use liquid dish soap, this can leave a
permanent blue sheen on the ceramic
surface.
Finally wipe the surface with a damp
cloth and then dry it with a clean soft
cloth.
