∙Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
Set the temperature control to its MAX
position.
∙Let the grill heat up for about 15 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.)
∙Let the appliance cool down.
∙Clean the grill plates afterwards as
described in the ‘General care and
cleaning’ section.
Operation
∙Set the appliance up in the desired
operating position.
Contact grilling
E.g. cutlet or escalope, sandwich, panini
etc.:
Fold the upper grill element straight down
onto the food to be grilled.
Cooking ‘au gratin’
E.g. toasted dishes:
Put the upper grill element in a vertical
position, pull it up and then move it down
again towards the front (see picture I), so
it is above the lower plate.
Barbecue-type grilling
E.g. steak, cutlet or escalope:
Put the upper grill element in a vertical
position, pull it up and move it down again
towards the rear (see picture II), so that
the grill plates are aligned with each other
and level.
∙Ensure that the grill plates have been
correctly fitted.
∙Ensure that the fat collection tray is
placed properly under the excess fat
drain; always empty it in good time during
operation. (with barbecue-type grilling,
both fat collection trays should be in
position.)
∙Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
∙Use the temperature control to choose the
desired temperature level.
∙Wait until pre-heating is complete and the
temperature indicator lamp goes out.
∙The non-stick grill plates only need to be
slightly greased when first used.
∙The grill is now ready for use.
∙Open the lid if necessary.
∙Place the items to be cooked into
the unit. The cooking or grilling time
depends largely on the nature of the food
concerned.
∙In order to prevent the non-stick grill
plates from being damaged, do not use
sharp or pointed objects while placing or
removing food items.
∙After cooking is finished, remove the plug
from the wall socket and allow sufficient
time for the unit to cool down.
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.
∙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 grill plates:
∙The plates can be removed for easy
cleaning: open the unit into the
‘Barbecue-type grilling’ position (see
picture II).
∙Push the clamp on the plastic handle
outwards and lift up the grill plate.
