Prior to operation

• Prior to the first grilling it is necessary to burn in the protective coating of the heating elements. To do so, heat up the appliance with inserted grill plates and in closed position (pos. A), at maximum temperature for about 15 minutes.
• Do not be bothered by the temporary formation of harmless smoke and smell. Please see for a good ventilation of the room.
  All parts of the cooled down appliance can be wiped with a moist cloth (see point "Cleaning and maintenance").
  Prior to initial use, pour once some cooking oil on a kitchen tissue and treat the upper side of the grill plates.

• Open up the grill completely (pos. C).
  For detaching push the locking spring until the grill plate disengages. Then lift the plate and take it off.
• For attaching, position both detents of the grill plate in the intended holders at the grill and push the plate downwards until the fi xing spring clinches.
  See to it that the grill plates sit properly.

Operating elements

KG 1600 / KG 1800

Both grill plates are regulated together.

KG 2000 Twin Set

Both grill plates are regulated separately, with 2 regulators and 2 pilot lamps.

(1) Temperature regulator, stepless
(2) Temperature pilot lamp

Cycling on and off during operation, the pilot lamp indicates the thermostatic regulation.

A lamp not glowing does not mean that the appliance is switched off!

Grilling

Make sure the grill plates are attached firmly and properly.
- Connect the appliance to the mains and pre-heat the grill in closed position (pos. A), until the pilot lamp extinguishes for the first time.
If the desired temperature has been reached, the grill position can be changed as required (pos. A, B, C).
- With the temperature regulator(s), the temperature can be increased or reduced at any time.
- For healthy low-fat grilling both grill plates feature a fat drain groove around the plate. Place a heat resistant vessel (e.g. a plate) below the drain outlet to collect the draining oil or fat.
- If the desired cooking or grilling result is achieved, switch the appliance off (turn the temperature regulator to "0" position) and pull the mains plug.
- Let the appliance cool down and clean it (see point "Cleaning and maintenance").

Grilling chart

Grilling times and temperature settings depend heavily on the thickness of the food and especially on your personal taste. Therefore, recommended settings are only reference values!
