reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lacking experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
●Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
●Caution: the accessible housing surfaces
may become very hot during operation.
●Always remove the plug from the wall
socket after use, and also

●Before the appliance is used, the main
unit as well as any attachment fitted
should be checked thoroughly for any

instance, have been dropped onto a hard
surface, it must not be used any longer:
even invisible damage may have adverse
effects on the operational safety of the
appliance.
●Do not allow the housing or the power
cord to touch hot surfaces (e.g. cooker
hotplates) or come into contact with any
other heat sources.
●Do not use the grill without the cooking
plates fitted.
●During operation, the appliance must be
placed on a heat-resistant surface,
impervious to splashes and stains. When
cooking food with a high fat or moisture
content, splashes are not always
avoidable.
●Before storing the appliance, ensure that
it has cooled down completely.
●When carrying the unit, always use the
plastic handles.

operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote-control system
●No responsibility is accepted if damage

●In order to comply with safety
regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs
of electrical appliances must be carried
out by qualified personnel, including the
replacement of the power cord. If repairs
are needed, please send the appliance to
one of our customer service departments.
The addresses can be found in the
appendix to this manual.
Before using for the first time
- Open the unit.
- Clean the cooking plates with a damp,
lint-free cloth and wipe dry afterwards.
Contact grill


- Close the unit.
- Let the grill heat up for about 5 minutes
without any food. This will remove the
smell typically encountered when first
switching on a grill. (A little smoke may
be emitted; this is quite normal, but
ensure there is sufficient ventilation.)
-
Open the unit and grease the cooking
plates lightly with a small amount of oil
or fat suitable for frying.
Operation
- Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
- Use the control knob to choose the
desired temperature level.
- Always leave the grill closed during the
heating up period.
- The indicator light switches off once the
pre-set temperature level is reached.
●Place the fat collection tray underneath
the drainage point and ensure that the
tray is emptied as necessary.
●The non-stick cooking plates only need
to be slightly greased when first used.
- The grill is now ready for use.
- Place the items to be cooked into the
unit. The cooking or grilling time
depends largely on the nature of the food
concerned.
- Possible applications:
a) Contact grilling, e.g. pork chops,
grilled sausage, sandwiches etc: the
upper cooking plate is placed right on
to the items to be grilled.
b) Gratin, e.g. toast dishes: pull the upper
cooking plate vertically upwards and
lower it again in a forward direction
into its horizontal position (see picture
I).
●In order to prevent the non-stick cooking
plates from being damaged, do not use
sharp or pointed objects while placing or
removing food items.
- Should the cooking process be
discontinued or interrupted for a longer
period of time, use an absorbent cloth
(e.g. household paper) to remove any oil
or fat carefully from the cooking plates.
-
After cooking is completed, remove the
plug from the wall socket and allow
sufficient time for the unit to cool down
with the cooking plates open.
- After the unit has completely cooled
down, lower the upper housing to its
horizontal position.
Power cord storage
During periods of non-use, the power cord
may be wound round the wind-up cable
storage underneath the lower part of the
housing.
Unwind the power cord completely before
operation.
Storage
The unit should be stored in its upright
position with the power cord wound up (see
picture IV).
General care and cleaning
●Before cleaning the appliance, remove
the plug from the wall socket and make
sure that the grill has cooled down
completely with the cooking plates open.
●To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
●The outside of the grill may be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth only. Wipe dry
with a dry cloth afterwards.
- Cleaning the non-stick cooking plates:
- Open the unit completely by lifting the
upper housing element and folding it all
the way back.
- Push the holding clamp near the plastic
handle towards the handle and lift up
the cooking plate.
- Lift the plate out in an upward
direction.
- Once removed, the cooking plates may
be cleaned with hot water using a mild
household detergent and a soft brush.
Do not attempt to scrape off any food
residues, and do not use abrasives or
5

harsh cleaning solutions.
- Wipe the cooking plates completely
dry.
- When inserting the cooking plates,
make sure that the recesses fit into both
clamps at the rear. Push the cooking
plate down until it locks firmly into the
clamp fitted at the front.
- Make sure that the cooking plates are
correctly fitted and that they lock firmly
into place.
-
The fat collection tray can be cleaned
with hot water or in a dish-washer.
