RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
► The appliance should only be connected to correctly installed
and earthed mains power sockets. Ensure that the rating for
your local power supply corresponds with the details on the
rating plate of the appliance.
► Arrange for customer service to repair or replace connecting
cables and/or appliances that are not functioning properly
or have been damaged.
► Do not expose the appliance to rain, and never use it in a
humid or wet environment.
► Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or moist during
use.
► NEVER immerse the appliance in water or other liquids! This
would bring about the risk of a potentially fatal electric
shock upon the next use of the appliance should moisture be
present in the voltage conducting elements.
► Always take hold of the plug when handling the power
cable. Do not pull on the cable itself and never touch the
power cable with wet hands, this could result in either a
short circuit or an electric shock.
► Do not place the appliance itself, furniture items or similar
objects on the power cable, and take steps to ensure it can-
not become jammed or trapped in any way.
► Do not open the appliance housing or attempt to repair or
modify the appliance. If the housing is opened or improper

temperature setting by turning the heat level control 6to MAX.

SKGE 2000 C3 GB│IE │ 9 ■
NOTE
► The first time the appliance heats up, a small amount of smoke and odour
may be generated due to production-related residue. This is normal and is
completely harmless. Ensure sufficient ventilation; for example, by opening
a window.
9) After heating, pull the plug out of the mains socket and allow the appliance
to cool down completely.
10) Clean the appliance again with a damp cloth.
Heat level control
The temperature is set using the heat level control 6.
–Heat level range 1: heating up range / low temperature
–Heat level range 2: medium temperature (e.g. cooking vegetables)
–Heat level range 3: high temperature (e.g. grill-roasting meat)
Heat level range 1
Heat level range 2
Heat level range 3
NOTE
► The green „Ready“ control lamp 5lights up when the heat level control 6
is set to MIN or in the front area of the heat level range 1. As soon as you
set the heat level control 6 to the desired position, the green control lamp
"Ready" 5 goes out until the temperature has been reached.
► The green control lamp "Ready" 5 may switch off again in the interim. This
indicates that the temperature has fallen below the set temperature and the
appliance is heating up again.
► The red control lamp "Power" 4lights up as soon as the appliance is con-
nected to the mains.

SKGE 2000 C3

Operation
1) Close the appliance lid using the handle.
2) Slide the fat collector tray 7 into the appliance.
3) Replace the plug in the mains power socket. The red control lamp "Power" 4
lights up. The green control light "Ready" 5 lights up if the heat level control 6
is set to MIN.
4) Set the desired level on the heat level control 6. The green control lamp
"Ready" 5 goes out. The green control lamp "Ready" 5 comes on again
as soon as the set heating level is reached.
NOTE
You can use this grill in 3 different ways:
–fully open so that both hotplates 0 can be used as a table grill.
–with the movable upper hotplate 0as a contact grill so that, for
instance, meat or fish is grilled from both sides.
–with the fixed upper hotplate 0 as a panini grill so that, for
instance, baguettes can be gratinated.
NOTE
► If you are grilling food where liquids such as fat escape, fold out the stand
extensions e. Due to the slight inclination of the lower hotplate 0, liquids
flow better in the direction of the fat outlet 9into the fat collector tray 7.
"Contact grill" position
NOTE
► To ensure the hygienic cooking of fish, we recommend using the “Contact
grill” position.
1) Open the appliance lid and place the food to be grilled on the lower
hotplate 0.
2) Close the appliance lid using the handle.
3) Due to its movable mount, the upper hotplate 0 always lies parallel to the
lower hotplate 0 even if the food to be grilled is bulky. This guarantees an
optimal grilling result.
4) Check the browning of the food after a while. To do this, open the appliance
lid using the handle.

SKGE 2000 C3 GB│IE │ 11 ■
NOTE
Start with short grilling times and increase them until you identify the correct
duration. For your orientation, please also refer to the section “Cooking table”.
5) When you are satisfied with the level of browning, remove the grilled food.
CAUTION
Damage to the appliance!
► Do not use pointed or sharp objects to remove the grilled food. These could
damage the surfaces of the hotplates 0!
6) Turn the heat level control 6 to MIN and remove the plug from the mains
power socket.
CAUTION
► Always remove the plug from the mains power socket when the appliance is
not in use. It is not sufficient to simply set the heat level control 6 to MIN!
"Panini grill" position
1) Open the appliance lid and place the food to be grilled on the lower
hotplate 0.
2) Close the upper hotplate 0 and lock it at the desired height by pressing the
safety catch 2back (position MIN, II, III, IV, V). When adjusting the safety
catch 2, lift the hot plate 0a little way. The further back you press the
safety catch 2, the greater the distance between the hotplates 0.
3) Check the browning of the food after a while. To do this, open the appliance
lid using the handle.
NOTE
Start with short grilling times and increase them until you identify the correct
duration. For your orientation, please also refer to the section “Cooking table”.

Cooking table
The following table is intended as a guide for cooking. It provides examples of cooking
times for various foods. Adjust the amounts according to the recipe and your individual taste.
Various factors – in particular, the respective nature of the food, such as size, thickness or
quality – may affect the cooking time. Also note that food cooked in the “Table grill” position
will need to be turned occasionally, so the cooking time will be longer.

Tips and tricks
■ To make meat more tender and speed up the grilling process, you can
marinate it beforehand. An ideal basis for this can be sour cream, red wine,
vinegar, buttermilk or fresh papaya or pineapple juice, for example. Add
herbs and spices according to taste. Do not add salt as this can draw water
out of the meat and make it dry. Place the meat in the marinade so that it is
completely covered and close the container. Ideally, leave it overnight.
■ You can grill not only meat, but also fish. We recommend cooking fish in the
“Contact grill” position. Grilling with the appliance lid closed ensures that
the food is heated from both sides at the same time.
■ The hotplates 0 have a non-stick coating, therefore extra fat is not neces-
sary. If you still wish to use fat, please ensure that the fat/oil is suitable for
grill-roasting, e.g. rapeseed oil.
■ If you are not sure whether the grilled food is cooked all the way through,
you can use a commercially available meat thermometer.
