Frequently Asked Questions - PG 008597 / 008598 SEVERIN

Can I use this barbecue indoors?

No, this electric barbecue is designed exclusively for outdoor use. Do not use it in an enclosed space to avoid any risk of fire or poisoning.

What is the difference between models PG 008597 and PG 008598?

These are two versions of the same SEVERIN electric barbecue: one is a tabletop model and the other is a freestanding model with cart. Check the exact reference on the rating plate of your appliance.

How do I clean the cooking plate?

Remove the plate after it has completely cooled and wash it with soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Never put it in the dishwasher and do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive products.

Why does the thermostat light turn on and off in cycles?

This is normal. The heating element operates in cycles to maintain the set temperature. The light comes on when the heating element heats up and goes off as soon as the thermostat setpoint is reached.

Can I use charcoal with this appliance?

No, the SEVERIN electric barbecue is strictly for electric operation. Never use charcoal or any similar fuel.

Can the barbecue be moved while it is hot?

No, never move the grill while it is operating or until it has completely cooled down. Wait until it is cold to move, clean, or store it.

What should I do if the cooking plate is not installed correctly?

The appliance is equipped with a safety switch: it cannot be started if the plate is not correctly in place. Check that the plate is inserted into the housing and that the thermostat plug is properly connected.

Is it necessary to grease the plate before cooking?

Thanks to the non-stick ceramic coating, cooking can be done without grease or with very little fat. For certain foods such as vegetables or fish, apply a small amount of heat-resistant oil with a brush.

Is the power cord detachable?

Yes, the thermostat plug with cord can be unplugged from the cooking plate. This plug must never be immersed in a liquid. Store it in a dry place when the appliance is not in use.

Where can I find spare parts or have my appliance repaired?

For any repair or spare part, contact SEVERIN customer service. Repairs must be carried out by an approved professional to ensure the safety of the appliance.

Important safety instructions

• This appliance is intended exclusively for outdoor use and must not be operated indoors.
• The barbecue grill may only be connected to a properly installed earthed socket outlet and must be operated through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current of no more than 30 mA.
• 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, and heating element may very hot during operation and not for some time after g off. Risk of burns! Keep out each 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 electrical safety reasons, the connection cable with the thermostat plug must not come into contact with liquids or be immersed in them.

- Clean the grill plate using warm soapy water. Before using the appliance again, ensure that the grill plate and thermostat connection are completely dry.

The grill plate must not 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: Charcoal or similar fuels must not be used with this appliance.
• Attention! Never cover the grill plate with aluminium foil, barbecue trays or similar items! Doing so may cause heat build-up, which could damage the appliance.

• 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.
  • For appliances with a stand frame:

Always ensure that the grill is standing securely on the frame.

• 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.
• Before switching on the appliance, check that the grill plate is correctly positioned in the housing.
• The grill must be supervised at all times during operation.
• Do not allow the power cord to touch any hot parts of the appliance.
• Operate the appliance only when the fat collection tray is in place.
• Route the power cord in such a way that no one can trip over it.
• Always remove the plug from the wall socket - 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).
• CAUTION! Never move the barbecue while it is in operation.
• CAUTION! Always make sure that the barbecue has cooled down completely before it is moved, cleaned, covered or stored.
• For models with grill cart:

After use, carefully move the grill cart once it has cooled down, keeping a firm hold on the grill.

• CAUTION! When the grill is not in use, the grill plate and the thermostat plug with the connection cable must be removed from the appliance and stored indoors in a dry place.
• All remaining components of the grill must be stored in a weather-protected location.
• 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

• Remove any packaging materials and stickers from the appliance.
• Clean the grill plate with hot, soapy water and then dry it thoroughly.
• Assemble the appliance as described in the “Preparing the Appliance” section.
• Preheat the appliance without food for approximately 10 minutes at the highest setting (see “Grilling”) to allow the initial operating odour to disperse. A slight amount of smoke may occur.
• Clean the grill plate as described in the “Cleaning and Care” section.

Grill assembly

• Assemble the grill as shown in Figure A:

• Lid assembly:
  Insert the hinge components of the lid into the hinge components on the housing. Insert the locking pins through the hinge openings. Secure the locking pins by inserting the split pins through the holes.
• Slide the fat collection tray into the housing from the rear.
• Position the grill plate in the grill pan so that the thermostat connection on the plate engages with the opening in the grill pan.
• Insert the thermostat plug into the thermostat connection.

Base stand assembly

- For models supplied with a grill cart, assemble the cart as follows. Also refer to the illustration.

Scope of supply:

• 1x base plate
• 4x upper stand legs
• 2x lower stand legs with rubber feet
• 2x lower stand legs
• 1x crossbar with flattened spacers positioned further outward
• 1x crossbar with flattened spacers positioned further inward
• 2x wheels
• 2x metal pins
• 2x screws
• 6x nuts
• 1x open-ended spanner

- Assembly:

• Place the base plate upside down on a level surface.
• Insert the upper stand legs (the bent sections) into the oval sockets on the base plate until they lock into place.
• Insert the screws from the outside through the holes in the stand legs on each side and fasten them loosely with two nuts.

• Push one lower stand leg with rubber feet onto each of the outer upper stand legs until it clicks securely into place.

• Insert the crossbar (with the flattened spacers positioned further outward) through the holes in the stand legs and fasten it loosely with two nuts.

• Push one of the remaining lower stand legs onto an upper stand leg until it clicks into place.
• Insert the second crossbar (with the flattened spacers positioned further inward) into the hole in the lower stand leg. Slide on a metal sleeve and a wheel from the outside and fasten loosely with a nut.
• Push the final lower stand leg onto the crossbar and then onto the upper stand leg until it locks into place. Slide on a metal sleeve and a wheel from the outside and fasten loosely with a nut.
• Tighten all nuts securely using the supplied spanner.
• Turn the grill cart upright and check that the frame stands firmly and securely. Then place the assembled grill onto the cart.

Grill plate

• The grill plate has a durable ceramic coating. This allows high-temperature grilling with little or, if preferred, no added fat or oil.
• For grilling foods such as vegetables or fish, apply a small amount of heat-resistant fat/oil (e.g. frying fat, coconut or palm fat, sunflower or rapeseed oil) to the grill plate using a pastry brush or kitchen paper. Non-heat-resistant oils may burn onto the ceramic surface, permanently damaging its non-stick properties.
• For further cleaning instructions, refer to the “Cleaning and Care” section.

Thermometer

- The thermometer in the lid shows the temperature inside the cooking chamber.

Grilling

• Before use, check that the grill is correctly assembled and stands securely. The device is equipped with a safety switch. If the grill plate is not properly fitted, the appliance cannot be operated.
• Insert the mains plug into a properly earthed socket outlet.
• Set the thermostat control to the desired position between LO (low) and HI (high). The indicator light will illuminate and the appliance will begin to heat up.
• During grilling, the heating element operates in cycles, and the indicator light will switch on and off accordingly.
• With the lid closed, allow the grill to preheat for approximately 10 minutes until the desired temperature is reached inside the cooking chamber. Then place the food onto the grill surface.
• During grilling, monitor the level of the fat collection tray and empty it as necessary.

After grilling

- After grilling, turn the thermostat control to OFF, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down.

Cleaning and care

• Ensure that the grill is thoroughly cleaned after use.
• 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.
