Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning:
When using your Electric Grill, fol-
low basic safety precautions includ-
ing the following:
Read all instructions before using
the grill.
Use the grill only for its intended
purpose.
Do not use the unit unless all parts
are properly in place according to
the installation and operating instruc-
tions.
Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a quali-
fied technician or electrician.
Before servicing, disconnect the
power supply by removing the fuse
or tripping the circuit breaker.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective ground-
ing system.
It is imperative that this basic safety re-
quirement is met. If there is any doubt,
have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible for damage caused by the lack or
inadequacy of an effective grounding
system.
Do not connect the appliance to
the main electrical supply using an
extension cord. Extension cords do not
guarantee the required safety of the ap-
pliance.
Never use the grill to warm or heat
the room.
When using an electrical outlet
near the grill, make sure that the
power cord of the appliance does not
come into contact with the heating el-
ements of the grill.
Do not allow children to operate or
play with or near the grill.
Keep all toys stored away from the
appliance to prevent injury to
curious or playful children.
Please remember that, in use, the
grill and/or griddle will become hot.
Ensure that children do not touch them.
Do not store items on the ap-
plaince when not in use.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the grill or lava rocks.
Never leave the grill unattended
when cooking with oil or fat. Very
hot oil can cause a fire.
Allow sufficient time for the ap-
pliance to cool before touching or
exposing surface areas to flammable
materials.
Wear proper apparel – Loose-fit-
ting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the ap-
pliance.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Do not attempt to repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this ma-
nual. All other servicing should be re-
fered to a qualified technician.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Always cook pork thoroughly to en-
sure that, in the event of trichina,
all bacteria will be killed and the meat
is safe to eat.
Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above or be-
hind the grill – children climbing on the
grill to reach these items could be seri-
ously injured.
Do not use a steam-cleaner to
clean the electric-grill.
The steam could penetrate to electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND
REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
Disposal of discarded appliances
Before disposing of an old ap-
pliance, turn it off at the main
power connection and disconnect and
remove the appliance cord. This is in-
tended to prevent the discarded ap-
pliance from becoming a hazard.
Text highlighted in boxes is of par-
ticular importance and should be
read in conjunction with the Warn-
ing and Safety instructions.

Operation
The grill is divided into two heating
areas, each regulated by its own en-
ergy control. When the controls are
turned on, the corresponding indicator
lamp will illuminate. The power of the
heating elements can be freely ad-
justed.
Turning the grill on
The grill will turn on when a setting is
selected.
The controls can be turned either clock-
wise or counter clockwise.
The indicator lamp will illuminate.
As you increase from setting 1-12,
the heating element will become pro-
gressively hotter and the selected
temperature will be automatically
controlled.
On setting 12, the heating element is at
maximum power.
Grilling and keeping food warm
Separate control of the two grilling
zones make it possible to grill meat on
one area and keep already grilled food
hot on the other area.
For example, sausages can be grilled
and then kept hot.
See the chart on page 9 for a more de-
tailed description of which setting is
recommended for which food.
The grill comes with two removable
stainless steel racks. By turning the
racks over, it is possible to grill at two
different heights. Select:
the low rack position
for flat items of food.
the high rack position
for larger items of food which take
longer to cook.
After grilling: keeping food hot
To turn the grill off:
Turn the controls to setting ”0“.
The indicator lamps will go out.
If there is heavy soiling on the heating
elements:
Turn the controls to setting ”12“.
Any food remains should be com-
pletely burnt off in about 10 minutes.
Turn the controls back to setting ”0“.
Should any residue remain, it can be
removed with a wire brush once the
heating elements have cooled.

Grilling
Grilling over lava rocks
Before cooking, remove the grill racks
and raise the heating elements. Take
the lava rocks out of their bag and put
them into the lava rock tray.
We recommend pre-heating the el-
ements at setting ”12“ for approx. 5
minutes.
This will allow the food to cook using
heat radiated by the lava rocks.
Meat can be lightly brushed with oil be-
fore grilling.
If you wish to add herbs to the food
while grilling, they can be sprinkled di-
rectly onto the meat or onto the lava
rocks, so the aroma reaches the food.
As the lava rocks absorb the fat which
drips onto them, they will eventually
become saturated. When the stones
become dark, they should be changed.
Smoke forms when fat drops onto hot
lava rocks. With a DA 8 extractor situ-
ated next to the grill, the smoke can be
removed from the atmosphere.
Grilling over the water trough
Before turning on the heating elements:
remove the lava rock tray from the
grill.
First check that the drain valve
underneath the grill is closed, then
fill the trough up to the lower rim with
approx. 1/2 gallon of hot water.
We recommend pre-heating the el-
ements at setting ”12“ for approx. 5
minutes.
This will allow the food to be cooked
by steam, as well as heat from the
grill. The trough will also be easier to
clean.
Meat can be brushed with oil before
being grilled.
Drops of fat will be cooled immediately
in the water trough, so that they cannot
catch fire.
When grilling, monitor the level of
water in the trough; if necessary,
carefully add more water.
After grilling, drain out the water and
oil through the drain valve (see
”Cleaning and Care“).

Please Note: The times given are for a pre-heated grill and should serve only as a guide - the actual
cooking time will depend on the size and quantity of food being cooked.
Times may be a little longer when using the water trough as compared to using the lava rock.
* Food should be turned over half way
through the cooking time.

Cleaning and Care
Grill racks
The grill racks can be washed by hand
or in a dishwasher.
If, over time, the racks become brown,
the residue can be removed with a
stainless steel cleaner.
Grill Elements
After grilling, remaining meat and fat
can be burnt off the heating element.
Turn the control to setting ”12“.
CAUTION: “Burning off” the el-
ements may cause fat which has ac-
cumulated in the lava rocks to burn
with an open flame.
Be careful when using a DA 8 ex-
tractor or vent hood. Do not leave
the grill unattended during this
cleaning process!
Any food remains should be com-
pletely burnt off after about 10
minutes. Remove any remaining
residue with a wire brush, once the
heating elements have cooled.
Grill interior
After grilling over the water trough, the
liquid should be drained out of the grill
via the drain valve.
Be careful of hot water! If necess-
ary, add cold water to cool it down.
Place a heat resistant container be-
neath the drain valve.
To open the valve, turn the lever 90°
clockwise.
To close it, turn the lever counter
clockwise as far as it will go.
After draining, remember to close
the valve.
The grill interior should be cleaned with
hot water and dishwashing liquid.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents or caustic cleaners.
Control panel / Control knobs
Do not use any scouring agents or
pads on the knobs or control panel,
as these could damage the finish.
Clean the control knobs and the control
panel with hot sudsy water.
After cleaning, rub dry with a soft cloth.
