• Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the rating label.
• The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used.
• In order to avoid hazards, and to comply with safety requirements, repairs to this electrical appliance or

its power cord must be carried out by our customer service. If repairs are needed, please contact our customer service department by phone or email (see see separate warranty statement).

Warning! This symbol indicates that the wind guard, grill rack and heating element may become very hot during operation and remain hot for some time after switching off. Risk of burns! Keep out of the reach of children!
- Do not use the appliance near flammable materials.
- Before cleaning the grill, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has completely cooled down.
- For reasons of electrical safety, the heating element with the connection box and connecting cable must never come into contact with liquids or be immersed in them.

After each use, clean the grill rack/plate, water pan and wind guard in warm soapy water.

Stainless steel grill version:

The grill can be cleaned in a dishwasher.

• For detailed information on cleaning the appliance, please refer to the section Cleaning and care.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
• Warning! Do not, under any circumstances, use charcoal or any

other solid or liquid fuel to operate the grill.

• Warning: Charcoal or similar fuels must not be used with this appliance.
• Attention! Never cover the grill rack or grill plate with aluminium foil, grillware or similar items! Doing so may cause heat build-up, which could damage the appliance.
• A maximum of 1.5 litres of water may be poured into the reflector tray.

• This appliance is intended for household use and similar applications, such as:

• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other work environments,

• agricultural estates,
• by customers in hotels, motels and similar establishments,
• in bed-and breakfast type environments.

- This appliance may be used by children (at least 8 years of age) and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved.

• Children must not be permitted to play with the appliance.
• Children must not clean the appliance or carry out general maintenance unless they are being supervised.

• The appliance and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 at all times.

• Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children – these are a potential source of danger, e.g. of suffocation.

• Before the appliance is used, the main body as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.
• During operation, the grill must be placed on a level, heat-resistant surface, impervious to splashes and stains. When grilling food with a high fat or moisture content, splashes are not always avoidable.
• Do not position the grill next to a wall or corner, and ensure that no inflammable materials are stored near it.
  • If operating indoors, the wind-guard is not needed.
• Food with high fat content can ignite on the grill, so always make sure that the water pan is filled with water every time before starting use! Only then insert the plug into a power socket. This cools the water pan, reduces smoke generation and makes cleaning easier.
• Keep monitoring the water level. Water should be added in good time, while ensuring that it does not come into contact with the heating element. Caution: Disconnect the grill from the mains before adding water.
• Prior to starting use, check that the heating element is correctly installed in the housing and in the water pan.
• The grill must be supervised at all times during operation.
• Do not allow the power cord to touch any hot parts of the appliance.

• Route the power cord in such a way that no one can trip over it.
  • Always remove the plug from the wall socket

• before filling with water,

• after use,
• in case of any malfunction, and

• during cleaning.

• The use of an extension cord or reel causes a loss of power, possibly combined with a subsequent heat build-up in the cable. It is therefore necessary to unwind the cable completely before use. Make sure that the cord is approved for outdoor use and for the power specified (see rating label).

• For devices with base stand: The storage rack can be loaded with a maximum weight of 4 kg.
• Never move the grill while it is in operation or when the storage rack is loaded.
• Caution! Always make sure that the barbecue has cooled down completely before it is moved, cleaned, covered or stored.
• Caution! Whenever the barbecue is not in use, the heating element with the connection box must be removed from the barbecue and stored in a dry space indoors.
• The other parts of the barbecue must not be stored outdoors or in an open area where they could be

affected by the weather.

• No responsibility is accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.
• This product complies with all binding CE labelling directives.

Before using for the first time

• Clean the grill rack/plate, water pan, and wind guard in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Assemble the appliance as described in Preparing the unit.
• Let the grill heat up for approximately 10 minutes at maximum power without any food (see Grilling). This will remove the smell typically encountered when first switching on a grill. A little smoke may be emitted; for that reason, adequate ventilation should be ensured by opening windows or balcony doors; an extractor hood is also suitable.

Grill assembly

- Connect the four lower and upper stand legs together, ensuring that the parts engage correctly.

- Place the appliance housing upside down on a flat surface and insert the assembled stand legs into the round mounts on the housing until they click into place. Make sure the slots in the stand legs fit over the struts inside each mount.

- Turn the assembled stand upright and insert the storage rack. The locking hooks on the storage rack must engage in the slots in the stand legs.

- Ensure that the stand is stable.

- Fit the water pan and other appliance components as described under “Assembling the Grill”.

Preparing the unit

• Assemble the appliance as described in Grill assembly. For grill models with base stand, refer to Base stand assembly.
• Fill the water pan with water up to the "Max" marking (maximum 1.5 litres). Water must never be poured directly onto the heating element.

Hint!

When using the barbecue, top up the water in the water pan regularly to make up for evaporation. Always unplug the device before doing this!

• Connect the appliance to the mains.
  • The unit is ready for use.

Grilling

• Set the rotary control to the select the desired position between MIN und MAX. The indicator light will illuminate and the appliance will begin to heat up.

• Let the appliance heat up for around 10 minutes, and then place the food on the grill surface.

After grilling

- After grilling, turn the rotary control to the OFF position, unplug the mains plug and allow the grill to cool down.

Cleaning and care

• Ensure that the grill is thoroughly cleaned after use.
• Any residues of water, oil, fat and spices left on the reflector tray could damage it. If any damage is caused to the reflector tray by incorrect cleaning, the guarantee will no longer be valid.
• Before cleaning the grill, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has completely cooled down.
• Do not use metallic pads or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Remove the wind guard and the grill rack/plate, and clean them in warm soapy water. Leave to soak if necessary.
• Remove the heating element with the junction box. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the heating element with water and do not immerse it in water. The heating element with junction box may be wiped with a slightly damp lint-free cloth.
• Remove the reflector tray and clean it in water, leave to soak for a short time if necessary.
• All other parts can be cleaned with a cloth soaked in soapy water, and should be wiped completely dry afterwards.
