DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE (Fig. 1) 1 Grill rack retainer ring 2 Tray handle 3 Drip tray 4 I-O (on-off) dial 5 Plate distance regulation dial 6 Power adjustment dial 7 On/off light 8 Heating element retainer clip 9 Heating element retainer pin 10 Removable plate 11 Heating element 12 Grill plate handles 13 Grill plates 14 Grill plate rotation slider 15 Grill plate automatic adjustment spring 16 Grill rack The steak grill is ideal for creating that perfect outdoor barbecue effect, even indoors. The fact that the grill cooks upright means a lot less smoke and therefore, that the appliance can even be used on the table. The vertical cooking process means that food stays healthier as well as keeping all of its flavour, since any fat will tend to drip into the drawer at the bottom of the appliance. Plates with adjustable opening mean that it is possible to grill a host of different foods, including: fish, prawns, chops and steaks, chicken, lamb cutlets, brochettes, frankfurters, and sausages.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

WARNING: Remove any protective film from the appliance before use.

WARNING: Place the appliance on a smooth, flat and level surface that is stable and has plenty of light.

- Remove the grill rack (16) by turning the plate distance regulation dial (5) clockwise as far as it will go and then sliding out the rack (16) upwards (Fig. 2). - Turn the plate distance regulation dial (5) anticlockwise to close the plates again. - Plug the power cord into a mains socket and switch on the grill by turning the I-O dial (4); at this point the light (7) will switch on. - Use the dial (6) to set the cooking temperature level.

WARNING: If the dial (6) is set to minimum, the plate may not switch on. In this case, slightly increase power

until the red light (7) switches on. - While the plates are heating up, you can place the food to be cooked on the grill rack (16). For perfect and even cooking results, the food should be placed in the centre of the grill rack (16). Make sure the rack is perfectly closed with the special ring (Fig. 3). The grill rack (16) has springs (15) to adapt the plate distance to the thickness of the food being cooked.

WARNING: It is advisable only to cook foods of the same thickness together.

WARNING: Position the food so that it does not come out of the openings in the rack; this is to stop it from

coming into contact with the heating elements and possibly causing smoke. - Set the plates at the maximum distance, by turning the plate opening dial (5) clockwise (Fig. 2). - Insert the grill rack (16) containing the food so that the two feet on the bottom part of the grill rack fit per-

- 6 -fectly into the slots inside the appliance. Move the grill plates back together by turning the plate opening dial (5) anticlockwise. - Adjust the distance between the plates (13) according to the food being cooked by turning the dial (5) (Fig. 2).

WARNING: To prevent smoke from forming, never place the heating elements up against the grill rack when

this contains food to be cooked. This system of moving the sides closer together or further apart offers the following benefits when it comes to cooking: - it adapts to food thickness and keeps the heating elements at the perfect distance; - it is possible to move the heating elements closer to or further away from the food and therefore, to vary cooking according to taste.

WARNING: Before cooking, make sure that the grill rack (16) has been correctly inserted into the appliance,

that the grill plate (13) is perfectly locked into place and the drip tray is in position. - It is possible to check foods while they are cooking: after opening the plates with the dial (5) (Fig. 2), open the right-hand plate by moving the plate rotation slider (14) upwards and then turning it downwards (fig. 4).

WARNING: Never force the other plate open.

WARNING: Never touch the heating elements (11) while the appliance is operating, as there is a serious risk

of burns. The plate distance can also be regulated while the appliance is operating. Only use the handle (12) to open the plate, as there is a serious risk of burns. - Excess fat will drip onto the drip tray (3) inside the drawer (2) (Fig. 5) and away from the heating elements, which means no smoke or unpleasant smells. - When the food is cooked, switch off the appliance by turning the dial (4) to O. Unplug the appliance from the mains power and remove the grill rack (16) by pulling it upwards after first opening the plates with the dial (5).

RECOMMENDED COOKING TIMES

WARNING: It is advisable only to cook foods with a maximum thickness of 5 cm.

- 7 -IMPORTANT NOTICE: For particularly fatty foods, such as sausages or frankfurters, pork chops or steak, we recommend that you set the grill plates (13) to about 0.5 - 1 cm away from the grill rack (16) to prevent any smoke from forming.

• For the best results, sprinkle the cut slices with salt at least 10 minutes before cooking.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Before cleaning the appliance or removing any parts, always make sure that it has been unplugged

from the power mains and has cooled down.

WARNING: Never place the appliance or power cord in water or other liquids.

- Remove the drip tray (3), pulling it by the handle (2) (Fig. 6). - Rinse the tray in running water and do not use abrasive substances or “scouring pads” so as not to damage the surfaces; only use a liquid detergent of your choice. - Open the plates (13) and remove the grill rack (16). - Release the heating elements (11) by removing the clips (8) from the retainer pins (9) (Fig. 7) and move them inwards. At this point, remove the plate (10) by pulling it upwards (Fig. 8). - Wipe all of the parts clean with a slightly damp cloth only. Clean the grill rack (16) with hot water and a normal non-abrasive washing-up detergent.

WARNING: Dry each part thoroughly before refitting it to the appliance, following the above steps in reverse

order. Clean the removable plates (10) taking care not to bend them, and then refit them so that they return to their original position. If the plates are not correctly fitted after each use, the grill will not switch on.
