surface. Do not use ceramic knives to cut on the grilling surface.
䡲Never hit the grilling surface with the turner or the tip a the knife, as this
could nick the grilling surface.

lation, e.g. an open window, or effective ventilation, e.g. operation of the
mechanical ventilation device at a higher setting.
䡲Do not use the appliance as a storage place. In particular, do not put any
flammable material, cardboard or plastic packaging on it.
