Working with the table-top grill 0 Connect the mains cable (5) to the mains supply. 0 Turn the thermostat (5) to the desired setting (1 to 5). 1 = lowest temperature 5 = highest temperature

The operating lamp (5/c) on the thermostat is on while the grill is heating up. When the temperature is reached, heating takes place at intervals to maintain the temperature constant. Do not cut food on the grilling surface to prevent damage to the non-stick coating! Ensure that the non-stick coating is not damaged when turning the grilling items! 0 To switch off the appliance, turn the thermostat to "OFF". Practical tips

• The grill bars (3/a) are ideal for the preparation of meat, fish and poultry. Fat and juice can fall into the drip tray through the grill webs. This ensures a healthy, low-fat preparation.
• The grill surface (3/b) is ideal for example for the preparation of eggs, ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, etc. It is also very well suited for keeping food warm.
• Tender pieces of meat are best suited for grilling.
• Pieces of meat such as from the shoulder or neck become more tender if marinated overnight.
• Grill tongs should be used but not forks to turn the grilling items. They will then remain juicy inside and not dry out.
• The grilled food should not be turned too frequently. When the items are browned on both sides, they should be finished at a lower temperature. The food does not dry out and is cooked more evenly. Cleaning and care
