Warning and Safety instructions
7

Protecting the appliance from
damage
~When grilling or keeping food warm,
do not use pots and pans or similar on
the open grill and never cover the rack
(e.g. with aluminium foil) or use
disposable aluminium foil containers.
The resulting build-up of heat could
damage the rack.
~Do not drop anything on the glass
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could reach
electrical components and cause a
short circuit. Pressurised steam could
also cause permanent damage to the
surface and to other components, for
which the manufacturer cannot accept
liability.
~KM 411-3
Take care when cleaning the control
panel. It is susceptible to scratching
and acidic agents. To prevent the risk
of residual marks please wipe any
soiling off as soon as possible.
~In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches and other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance
guarantee.
Protection from burning and
scalding
~Never leave the grill unattended
while grilling is taking place.
Overheated oil or residues of food or fat
on the lava rocks could flare up and
even set the cooker hood alight.
~Should anything catch fire despite
this do not attempt to put the flames out
with water. Instead extinguish the
flames using a suitable fire blanket,
damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
~For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
burning yourself.
~Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. This
could lead to a danger of the article
beginning to melt or catching fire, if
residual heat were still present or if the
appliance was switched on by mistake.
~Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could
be a fire hazard if the appliance was
switched on by mistake.
~Clean the lava rocks regularly and
replace them when necessary. Rocks
which are saturated 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.

Appliance faults
~In the event of damage or a defect,
switch off the appliance immediately.
Disconnect completely from the
electricity supply. If the appliance has
not yet been fully installed, the
electricity cable must be disconnected
from the supply point. If connected via
a plug and socket, switch off at the
socket and withdraw the plug. Contact
the Service Department.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has
been repaired.
~If there is any damage to the glass
surface the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply immediately and not used until it
has been repaired. Danger of electric
shock.
~Repairs must only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
person. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be very
dangerous and could damage the
appliance. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work. Never
open the housing of the appliance.
~While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
Further safety notes
~When using an electric socket near
the appliance, care should be taken
that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not come into contact
with the hot appliance. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food and its temperature. Some foods
may contain micro-organisms which are
only destroyed by thorough cooking;
therefore when cooking or reheating
foods such as poultry, it is particularly
important that the food is completely
cooked through. If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
~If the appliance is installed in a room
without air conditioning in areas with
high levels of humidity, there is a risk of
moisture settling on the heater elements
if it is not used for longer periods of
time.
When next used this could cause the
fuse to trip. To prevent this risk it is
advisable to switch the appliance on
every 6 months for 15 minutes using the
highest power setting.
Make sure there are no flammable
objects near the appliance during this
process and do not leave the appliance
unattended.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene
and plastic wrappings must be kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation.
Dispose of or recycle all packaging
materials safely as soon as possible.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.

old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person. If
connected by a plug, the plug must be
rendered useless and the cable cut off
directly behind the appliance to prevent
misuse.

Before grilling
The grill can be used with or without the
lava rocks. Without the lava rocks the
rising steam keeps the food being
grilled moist. Grilling with the lava rocks
creates a particularly intensive aroma.
Prepare the grill as follows, before
switching it on:
^Make sure the drain tap is closed.
^Take off the rack, lift up the heating
element, and if not being used, take
the lava rock container out.
^Fill the grill trough
– up to marker line awith approx. 2.5
litres of water when grilling without
lava rocks.
– up to edge bwith approx. 1.2 litres
of water when grilling with lava
rocks.
^If using lava rocks put the container
back in the grill trough.
^Lower the heating element again,
and put the rack on it.
Use
13

Grilling
When grilling, watch the level of
water in the trough. If necessary,
add more water.
Do not use pots and pans or similar
on the open grill and never cover the
rack (e.g. with aluminium foil) or use
disposable aluminium foil
containers. The resulting build-up of
heat could damage the rack.
Correct procedure:
^Switch the appliance on.
^Pre-heat the grill at setting "12" for
approx. 5 minutes.
^Grill the food for a few minutes at the
highest setting.
^Then switch down to "10" or "9" (with
food that tends to burn).
^Turn the food once or more during
grilling.

Tips on grilling
–To avoid spitting during grilling, dab
moist food dry with paper kitchen
towel.
–Salt food after grilling, and not before
as it could dry out too much.
–Marinating often improves the flavour
of food to be grilled.
–Brush food that has not been
marinated with a little oil. Only use
oils that can be heated to a high
temperature.
