Depending on the accessories supplied with your appliance, you can try
3 kinds of cooking :
•Always unplug the appliance when not in use.
•Use only one appliance per plug and always use an
earthed extension cable, with cross section of at least
1 mm2.
•Never place aluminium foil or any other object between
the cooking dish or the grill plate (depending on model)
and the heating element.
•Place the appliance on a firm table : avoid using it on
a soft base.
•Do not use any other cooking dish than the one sup-
plied with the appliance.
•Never touch the metallic parts (body or grill plate) while
the appliance is in use as they can become very hot.
•We recommend you always using gloves when
handling the cooking dish, the lid and the grill
plate (depending on model) : steam emission can
come out when opening de lid.
•Do not move your appliance when cooking in order to
prevent any risk of burning.
•Never place your appliance on a fragile surface (glass
table, piece of furniture...).
•Do not place anything bet-
ween the grill plate (depen-
ding on model) and the food
(e.g. dish, aluminium foil...).
•To keep the benefits of the non-
stick coating inside the cooking
dish :
- never heat for more than a
few minutes when empty
(respect the time of pre-
heating if this one is neces-
sary) ;
- use wooden utensils to stir
food ;
- do not cut directly in the
cooking dish.
•Before switching off at the
mains, turn the thermostat to
the stop position (0).
Warning :
never use the glass
lid as a dish on the
base of the appliance.
Note :
the cooking dish and the glass lid
can also be used in the oven
but they must never be used
on any other heat source.
