1. The appliance is delivered in closed condition (Fig. 1).

To open pull the closing slide to the left side and raise (Fig. 2).

2. Turning and removing the hot plates

To do this bring the item in the party position (Fig. 9), pull the respective hot plate lock forward (Fig. 3) and lift up the plate slightly diagonal. Re-insert the plate in the same way slightly diagonal. The same figures on the top and bottom plate can be read from the front (Fig. 4). Hot plate 1 (marking on the front) belongs in the bottom shell, hot plate 2 in the top shell. Before using for the first time, rinse the hot plates, dry them and grease slightly. Application

The hot plates are used with the grooved side for grilling. The hot plates have a grease outlet for excessive fat. Please place a small plate beneath (Fig. 5 + 6).

The hot plates are used with the grooved side for browning. The top grill plate may not touch the food. To assure this, the appliance is opened and the hinge levers to the right and left outside on the hinges are tilted forward simultaneously (Fig. 7). When the top part is closed, an interval of 4 cm appears. To replace, lift up the top part, tilt the hinge lever back again and close the lid. Do not put the hinge levers back on one side or during operation of the appliance.14

The grooved grill plates are used. Open up the top shell on the handle, lift up slightly and place to the rear (Fig. 8 + 9). Place a small plate under each of the fat outlets (Fig. 6). Be absolutely sure when grilling that hot plate 1 is covered first. Under no circum- stances may plate 2 be used alone for party grilling, only in combination with plate 1 will perfect temperature control be achieved (Fig. 9).

The appliance can be turned into a waffle iron by turning over the grill plates. For turning over the plates, see section ,,Preparation”. In all cases Close the appliance (Fig. 10) and heat up. To do this, insert the mains plug and set the temperature selector to the rated figure as indicated in the grill compass, bottom line. The appliance is not ready for operation until the control lamp has gone out. Then place the food to be cooked. For continuous operations such as baking waffles, for example, always wait until the appliance has become heated up. Only then add the batter! Temperatures The temperatures can be set continuously from Position 1 to 5. Position 1: around 150°C; Position 2: around 160°C Position 3: around 200°C; Position 4: around 230°C Position 5: around 250°C The times given in the grill compass assume a preheated appliance (the control lamp has gone out). Vary the times according to the thickness and the desired degree of cooking of the food. Practical tips: Contact grilling Pieces of meat are suitable which you would also use for brief frying in the frying pan. Before grilling, the meat must be completely thawed out and thoroughly dry. Salter after grilling. If aluminium foil is used, grease it slightly on the inside. Breaded foods are preferably cooked at a lower heat for somewhat longer. Browning e.g., filled slices of toast. Toast bread does not have to be pretoasted. Party grilling For ”sociable grilling” at the table, the appliance is used like a large frying pan for grilling all quickly fried meat cuts. The food must be turned over. Baking waffles After they have been heated up, the waffle irons are greased once with oil or vegeta- ble fat. If you are careful in measuring and pouring the batter evenly, you can avoid the running over of the batter. Always let waffles cool off on a kitchen grate. Note: Waffles made with milk and cream become softer and lighter, water waffles become crisper and browner.
