Barbecue grill
Dear Customer,
Before using the appliance, please read the
following instructions carefully and keep this
manual for future reference. The appliance
must only be used by persons familiar with
these instructions.
Important safety instructions
∙The equipment should only be
connected to an earthed socket
installed in accordance with the
regulations.
∙This appliance is designed for
outdoor use. It must therefore be
operated with an additional earth-
leakage circuit-breaker at a rated
tripping current not exceeding 30mA.
∙Make sure that the supply voltage
corresponds with the voltage marked
on the rating label.
∙The power cord should be regularly
examined for any signs of damage.
In the event of such damage being
found, the appliance must no longer
be used.
∙In order to avoid hazards, repairs
to this electrical appliance or its
power cord must be carried out by
our customer service. If repairs are
needed, please send the appliance
to our customer service department.
∙The appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external
timer or separate remote-control
system.
∙Do not, under any circumstances,
use charcoal or any other solid or
liquid fuel to operate the grill.
∙The picture shows how much water
should be put into the grill pan (‘Max.’
marking inside the grill pan).
∙Before cleaning the grill, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply
and has completely cooled down.
∙To avoid the risk of electric shock,
the heating element and the power
cord must not be immersed in liquid
or even allowed to come into contact
with it.
∙Clean the grill rack with hot soapy
water. Do not put it into a dish
washer. For detailed information on
cleaning the appliance, please refer
to the section ‘General care and
cleaning’.
∙This appliance may be used by
children (at least 8 years of age) and
GB

12
by persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or
lacking experience and knowledge,
provided they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance and fully
understand all dangers and safety
precautions involved.
∙Children must not be permitted to
play with the appliance.
∙Children must not be permitted
to carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work on the appliance
unless they are supervised and at
least 8 years of age.
∙The appliance and its power cord
must be kept well away from children
under 8 at all times.
∙Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children – these are
a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙Caution: do not, under any
circumstances, cover the grill rack
with aluminium foil, barbecue dishes
or other items, as the resulting build-
up of heat could destroy the grill.
∙Before the appliance is used, the main
body as well as any attachment fitted
should be checked thoroughly for any
defects. Should the appliance, for
instance, have been dropped onto a hard
surface, it must no longer be used: even
invisible damage may have adverse
effects on the operational safety of the
appliance.
∙During operation, the barbecue grill
must be placed on a level, heat-resistant
surface, impervious to splashes and
stains. When grilling food with a high fat
or moisture content, splashes are not
always avoidable.
∙Do not fit the wind screen if the
appliance is used indoors.
∙Do not position the grill next to a wall or
corner, and ensure that no inflammable
materials are stored near it.
∙Caution: There is always a possibility
that food with a high fat or moisture
content might catch fire; the grill
pan must therefore always be filled
with water before the appliance is
connected to the mains power.
∙The water helps to cool down the grill
pan, reduces the build-up of smoke, and
also facilitates cleaning.
∙The water level has to be kept between
the ‘Min’ and ‘Max’ markings at all times.
These markings can be found inside the
grill pan (see diagrams).
∙Always ensure that the water level is kept
above the ‘Min.’ mark. Water should be
added in good time, while ensuring that it
does not come into contact with the heating
element. Caution: disconnect the grill
from the mains before adding water.
∙Before using the barbecue grill, always
ensure that the grill pan and heating
element are correctly fitted into the
housing.
∙The barbecue grill must be supervised
at all times during operation.
∙Always bear in mind that the housing
surfaces as well as the heating element

13
become very hot during operation.
Even after the heating element is
switched off, it must not be touched until
it has sufficiently cooled down - there is
otherwise a severe danger of burns.
∙Do not allow the power cord to touch any
hot parts of the appliance.
∙Always remove the plug from the wall
socket
-before filling the grill pan with water,
-after use,
-in case of any malfunction, and
-during cleaning.
∙The use of an extension-lead reel causes
a loss of power, possibly combined with
a subsequent heat build-up in the cable.
It is therefore necessary to unwind the
cable completely if a cable reel is used.
Make sure that the reel is approved for
outdoor use by the manufacturer.
∙Never move the grill while it is in use
or still hot. Always allow the appliance
sufficient time to cool down before
carrying, transporting or storing it. Pour
out any remaining water after use.
∙Ensure that the grill is not stored
outdoors, or in any other location where
it might be subjected to extremes of
temperature or high humidity.
∙No responsibility is accepted if damage
results from improper use, or if these
instructions are not complied with.
∙This appliance is intended for domestic or
similar applications, such as
-in shops, offices and other similar
working environments,
-in agricultural working environments,
-by customers in hotels, motels etc. and
similar establishments,
-in bed-and breakfast type environments.
∙This product complies with all binding CE
labelling directives.
Grill assembly
The barbecue grills are available in different
configurations.
When assembling the grill, always refer to
diagram A corresponding to your particular
grill model. Follow the steps below:
∙Place the grill pan inside the plastic
housing.
∙Place the heating element into the grill
pan.
∙Fit the grill rack on top.
∙If required, additional accessories may
be fitted according to diagram A for your
particular grill model.
Grill models with additional base stand:
Assemble the base stand according to the
schematic diagram B. Place the grill onto the
stand in such a way that the small feet under
the grill connect in the top of the vertical legs
of the base stand; ensure that the grill and
base stand are placed in a safe and stable
position.
The power cord should be routed in such a
way that no one is likely to trip over it.
Heating element
The junction box contains a safety switch.
Place the grill pan into the plastic housing
first, and then fit the heating element inside
the grill pan and housing. The safety switch
is activated automatically when the heating
element has been properly fitted. If not fitted
correctly, the appliance can not be switched
on.
Before using for the first time
∙Remove any packaging materials from
the appliance.

14
∙Clean the grill rack and grill pan with
warm soapy water; dry thoroughly
afterwards.
∙Assemble the grill as described above.
∙Fill the grill pan with water up to the ‘Max’
marking.
∙Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power-outlet.
∙Let the grill heat up for approximately 5
minutes without any food on the rack. This
will lessen the smell typically encountered
when first switching on a new grill (a slight
smell and a little smoke may be emitted -
ensure sufficient ventilation).
Grilling
∙The grill pan must be filled with water up
to the ‘Max’ marking.
∙Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power-outlet.
∙Set the thermostat control knob to
its ‘Max’ position. The indicator light
comes on, and the heating element is
permanently switched on.
∙After approximately 5 minutes, the
heating element reaches the right
temperature for grilling.
∙Thermostat-controlled grill models can
also be used to keep the food warm by
turning the thermostat control down.
∙Caution: to prevent a possible build-
up of heat and subsequent damage to
the appliance, the food to be cooked
must be placed directly onto the grill
rack. Do not place any objects (e.g.
aluminium foil, barbecue plates or
other items) between the food and the
heating element.
∙As the water in the grill pan evaporates
during grilling, it must be topped up in
good time. When adding water, ensure
that the water does not come into contact
with the heating element; always remove
the plug from the socket first.
∙Once the grilling process is finished:
∙Set the thermostat control knob back to
‘●’.
∙Remove the plug from the power outlet
and allow the grill to cool down.
General care and cleaning
∙Ensure that the grill is thoroughly cleaned
after use.
∙Before cleaning the grill, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has completely cooled down.
∙Do not use metallic pads or abrasive
cleaning agents.
∙Remove the grill rack and clean it with
warm soapy water. To remove persistent
food residues, it can be left soaking for
a while. Do not put the rack into a dish
washer.
∙The heating element can be removed
for cleaning. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not clean the heating element
with water and do not immerse it in water.
The junction box may be wiped with a
slightly damp lint-free cloth.
∙All other parts can be cleaned with a cloth
soaked in soapy water, and should be
wiped completely dry afterwards.
∙For grill models with an aluminium
grill pan, please note that the pan will
discolour after several cycles of use. This
is normal and does not impair the safe
function of the grill.
Storage
After cleaning, the grill should be stored
indoors in a dry location.
