Between the back of the unit and the wall: 4.5cm or more
Between the sides of the unit and other objects: 4.5cm or more
Between the top of the unit and other objects: 10cm or more
Always ensure that one side of the unit is free of obstacles. This will reduce the risk of fire or

Ensure that all of the switches and dials are at the “OFF”/ “0” position.
Plug the unit into a wall socket and switch the wall socket “ON”.

USING THE GRILL
This appliance has two heating elements. Which heating element(s) you use will
depend on the type of food that you are cooking. To switch on the upper element, push
the upper power switch to the “ON”position. To switch on the lower element, push the
lower switch to the “ON”position. To switch on both elements at the same time, make
sure both power switches are in the “ON”position.
Please note that the removable pan handle should be used to remove the grill pan from
the oven. Please do not leave the pan handle in the pan whilst using the grill as the
intense heat will cause the handle to deform.
Place the grill tray on the enamel grill pan. You may choose to use the grill tray with the
grill pan –in doing so, the tray will keep your foods lifted from the pan, enabling the pan
to catch unwanted oils and fats –it functions very much as a drip tray.
Food should be placed on the grill tray or in the grill pan directly. Brush food with
sauces or oil as desired.
Insert the removable pan handle into the grill pan. Using the handle, slide the pan into
the grill cavity. Ensure that food does not touch any of the elements.
Press the appropriate power switch for each of the desired elements. You may use
each independently or use them together. Note that the pilot indicator light will turn on
for each power switch selected. For best results, it is recommended that you preheat
the grill for 15 minutes.
Brush food with sauces or oil as desired. Turn food over midway through the prescribed
cooking time.
When grilling is complete, turn the power switch/ switches to the “OFF” position, the pilot
indicator light/s will turn off. Ensure that the appliance is completely turned off and
unplugged after each use.
NOTE: The pilot indicator light will light up when the heating element/s are switched on
and will turn off when the heating element/s are switched off.
