RISK OF ELECTRICAL 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 Services 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.
► Take steps to ensure the mains cable never becomes wet or
moist during use.
► Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids! There
is a risk of a potentially fatal electric shock if residual moisture
comes into contact with live components during operation.
► Always take hold of the plug when handling the mains cable.
Do not pull on the cable itself and never touch the mains
cable with wet hands. This could result in either a short circuit
or an electric shock.

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.
■ The hotplates -have a non-stick coating, making extra fat unnecessary.
If you still wish to use fat, please ensure that the fat/oil is suitable for
grill-roasting, e.g. rapeseed oil.
■ To ensure that the food is evenly cooked, make sure that it has a uniform
thickness.
■ If you are not sure whether the food is cooked all the way through, you can
use a commercially available meat thermometer.
