Lava stone container

Before using the appliance for the first time, take the lava stones out of the plastic bag and pour them into the lava stone container.

Water bath

Always fill the grill trough with water before each use. The amount of water depends on whether you wish to grill with or without lava stones.

Caution, risk of scalding! If water splashes onto the hot grid iron or grill heating element when adding more water to the trough, this will result in hot steam being given off.

Setting the grill

With your new grill you can grill over the lava stones or over the water bath.

The lava stones accumulate the heat from the grill heating element and radiate an intense and even heat.

When grilling over the water bath, the rising steam will keep grilled meat juicy and tender.

Grilling over the lava stones

1. Remove the grid iron and tilt up the grill heating element. Remove the lava stone container.
2. Pour in approx. 0.7 litres of water up to the lower marking.

1. Remove the lava stones from their packaging and pour them into the lava stone container. Insert the lava stone container into the appliance.

1. Tilt down the grill heating element and put on the grid iron.

1. Preheat the grill for approx. 8-12 minutes on the highest setting. Then you can put on the food to be grilled. Select the heat setting according to the settings table.

Note: preheat the empty appliance for a maximum of 8-12 minutes. If the appliance is preheated for too long, it might switch off (overheating protection). Switch off the appliance and leave to cool down before switching on again.

Fat dripping onto the grill heating element and the hot lava stones will produce smoke. Dripping fat may flare up briefly.

Water level: When grilling, always monitor the water level in the

grill trough and, if required, add more water up to the lower marking.

Caution, risk of scalding! If water splashes onto the hot grid iron or grill heating element when adding more water to the trough, this will result in hot steam being given off.

Tips for grilling

Quality of the meat The grilled result depends on the nature and quality of the meat and on your personal taste. As far as possible, grilled pieces should be equally thick. In this way, they will brown evenly and they will stay nice and juicy.

Preheating the grill Always preheat the grill. In this way, the intensive heat radiation will seal the surface of the grilled food and juice cannot leak out.

Preparing the food To avoid drying out the surface and to improve the taste, lightly brush the food before grilling with heat-resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil). Make sure you do not use too much oil as otherwise there will be a risk of fire.

Always grill steaks unsalted. Otherwise, water and soluble nutrients might leak and be lost.

Do not remove the fatty layer (e.g. on a cutlet) until after grilling as otherwise the meat will lose juice and aroma.

Placing the food on the grill Place grilled pieces directly on the grid iron. If there is only one piece for grilling, place it in the middle of the grid iron for best results.

Turning the food Turn the meat when small fluid drops can be seen on the surface of the meat.

Turn grilled pieces over as soon as they can be removed easily from the grid iron. If the meat is sticking to the grid iron, its texture will be destroyed and juice will leak out.

Tips for grilling: Do not pierce the meat while grilling it. It may lose its juice.

Meat is medium if juice appears on the surface of a steak (pink inside and crispy brown on the outside).

Serve grilled food hot. Grilled food will go tough if you keep it warm.

Dripping Fat: Fat dripping onto the grill heating element may flare up briefly and will produce smoke. To reduce flaring up, grill fatty food over the water bath.

Care and cleaning

Do not use high-pressure or steam jet cleaning devices.

Caution, risk of burns! Wait until the grill has cooled down completely before cleaning it.

Clean the grill after every use. Burnt-in residues may be difficult to remove.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Draining the water: In the event that the water is still hot when drained, add some cold water to the container to cool it!

To drain the water, place a heat-resistant container beneath the drain valve. Open the drain tap by turning the lever down by 90°. Then close the tap by turning the lever fully up.

Cleaning the metal parts: Wipe clean the metal surfaces using warm soapy water. Polish with a clean, dry cloth.

Avoid scratching or scrubbing as this could cause permanent scratches. Remove stubborn soiling with a soft brush or soak with a small amount of soapy water.

Cleaning the grid iron: The grid iron can be cleaned by hand by adding a

Add mild detergent to the cleaning water. Do not apply acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) to the enamel surface.

Do not scrape away burnt-in residues; instead, soak them with a small amount of soapy water.

Lava stones: It is advisable to dry very damp lava stones occasionally in the oven at 200°C. This will prevent the formation of mildew.

Glass ceramic panel and cover: Remove light soiling using a damp cloth, or with warm soapy water.

Rinse any left-over detergent with cold water and dry the surface well.

Unsuitable cleaning agents: Do not use an abrasive sponge or a scouring agent.

Nor should any chemically aggressive cleaners such as oven sprays or stain removers be used.

Do not clean the grid iron, the lava stone container, and the glass ceramic cover in a dishwasher.

Before installation

Disposal in compliance with environmental regulations. Dispose of the device and packaging in accordance with environmental requirements.

This device is marked in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). This directive establishes the framework for the return and recycling of old devices, valid throughout Europe.

Preparing the grill Water filling

1. Remove the grill grate and lift the heating element upwards. Remove the water container from the device.
2. Pour 2.5 liters of water into the reservoir up to the upper mark.
3. Lower the heating element of the grill, place the grill grate.
4. Preheat the grill for 8-12 minutes at the highest power level. After that, you can place the food to be cooked on the grill. Set the grill level according to the table provided. Note: An empty grill should not be preheated for more than 8-12 minutes. Longer heating may cause the device to switch off (overheating protection). Switch off the device and let it cool down before switching it on again.

Adding water during grilling must be done carefully.

At the water level in the reservoir, the required level should be adjusted by adding water up to the upper mark.

Caution, danger of scalding! If, when adding water, it splashes onto the hot grid or the heating element of the grill, steam will be generated.

Draining water: If the water is still sufficiently

hot, let it cool down before draining!

To drain the water, place a heat-resistant container under the drain tap. Open the tap by turning the lever 90° downwards. After that, close the tap by turning the lever upwards to the stop.

Overheating protection

The overheating protection switches off the heating of the grill in case of danger of overheating. After the grill has cooled down sufficiently, the heating of the grill is switched on again automatically.

Tables and useful tips

Grill table

The data in these tables should be considered as

orientation values, which

are valid for a preheated grill. These values may

vary depending on the type and weight of the grill product.

You can adjust the power continuously. It may be that the optimal power for your application lies between two levels!

Turn the grill product over once halfway through the cooking time.

The quality of the meat results depend on the type and quality of the meat, and on your personal taste. The pieces for grilling should be as uniform in thickness as possible. This way they cook evenly and retain their juiciness.

Always preheat the grill thoroughly before grilling. Preheating the grill in this way, thanks to the intense heat radiation, a crispy crust can form on the surface of the product, which prevents the juice from escaping.

Preparation of the product: To avoid surface drying and to improve the taste of the grilled food, lightly brush the product with heat-resistant oil using a brush. Make sure there is not too much oil, as there is a risk of fire!

Always grill without using salt. Otherwise, water and soluble nutrients will be released and lost.

The fat layer (e.g., on cutlets) should only be removed from the finished grilled food, otherwise the meat loses juice and aroma.

Placing the product: Place the pieces of meat on the grill grate directly on the grate. In case of

one grill basket, place it on the grates as centrally as possible. This way the grill will succeed best.

Turning: Turn the meat when small drops of juice appear on the surface of the product.

Place the meat pieces directly on the grill. In case of...

Remove the grate from the oven when possible. This will allow the heat to circulate better.

Transformation occurs when small droplets of juice appear on the surface of the product during transformation.

The mushrooms should be turned when they easily detach from the grid. When gripping the meat and the product, the fibers are destroyed and juice is released from the meat.

Advice: Do not pierce the meat when preparing the grill. This causes loss of juice.

If juice appears on the surface of the meat, it means that the meat has reached medium doneness (inside is pink, outside is covered with a crispy crust).

Add the finished grill to the hot dish. Do not reheat the finished grill, as the meat becomes tough.

Dripping fat may ignite on the heating element and cause brief flame and smoke. To reduce this effect, products with high fat content should be cooked on the grill or in a water bath.

Care and cleaning

Do not use high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

Caution, risk of burns! Before cleaning, the grill must be completely cooled.

After each use of the grill, clean it. Burnt residues are difficult to remove. Before using new grill cloths, they should be washed well.

Draining water: If the water is still sufficiently

hot, add cold water to cool it down!

For draining water, place a heat-resistant container under the drain tap. Open the tap by turning the lever 90° downwards. Then close the tap by turning the lever upwards to the stop.

Cleaning metal parts: Clean metal parts with warm soapy water and wipe them dry.

Avoid abrasive cleaning agents, as they may cause scratches on the surface. Stubborn dirt should be removed with a soft brush or soaked beforehand.

Cleaning the grill grid: Clean the grill grid by hand with a mild cleaning agent. For cleaning the enamelled grill grid, do not use acid-containing liquids (citric acid, vinegar, etc.). Burnt residues should not be scraped off, but soaked in soapy water.

Small dirty spots on the leaves can be

dried with a hairdryer at 200 °C. This way

you can avoid the formation of sediment.
