Instructions

△ CAUTION: Avoid damage to the non-stick coated grill surfaces!

• Only use wooden or Teflon spatula.
• Do not use pointed objects (e.g. knife, fork) on the grill surface.

• Do not use plastic utensils. They can melt.

• The top grill plate is fitted with a compensating joint. This enables the optimal contact of the top grill plate with the food.

• The non-stick coated grill surfaces enable dishes to be prepared without the use of fat.
• If you want to use oil ensure that it is highly heatable, such as sunflower oil. Do not use olive oil or butter, since they start smoking already at low temperatures.

Switching On/Off

• Always set the temperature regulator (6) to the MIN position before turning the appliance on or off.
• You can turn the appliance on or off with the ON / OFF switch (5). The power indicator lamp POWER (8) indicates that the appliance is in operation.

Electrical connection

Power rating

The appliance can consume 2000 W of power in total. At this power rating, we recommend a separate connection with fuse protection via a 16 A domestic circuit breaker.

△ CAUTION: Overload

Do not use any extension cords or multiple sockets as this appliance is too powerful.

Connection

• Before you plug the power plug into the power outlet, ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with that of the appliance. You can find information about this on the rating plate.

3. Operate the appliance with the closed grill plates for about 10 minutes without any food (see "Operation"). To do so, turn the temperature regulator to the MAX position.

i NOTE:

This process normally produces a small amount of smoke. Ensure adequate ventilation.

1. Turn the appliance off and disconnect the power plug.
2. Let the appliance cool down completely.
3. Wipe the grill surfaces with a damp cloth.

Your appliance is now ready to use.

Use as a contact grill

1. Turn the appliance on with the ON / OFF switch. Both control lamps will light up.
2. Set the temperature regulator to the MAX position. The temperature control lamp READY (7) will go out. The appliance is being heated up.

i NOTE:

- When the control lamp READY is lit up, the set temperature has been reached. It turns on and off during operation. This is normal and shows that the temperature is thermostat-controlled and maintained.

1. Open the appliance with the handle. Position the top grill plate vertically.

2. Place the food onto the bottom grill plate.

3. Slowly close the top grill plate. You do not have to flip the food.

2. Operate the appliance as previously described (without points 3, 5, and 6).
3. Prepare your dishes like on any other grill. Turn over the food as required.

Grilling duration

The grilling duration depends on the consistency and the thickness of the food. Two examples are listed here as a guideline:
