Notes

The settings will remain unchanged if you touch several symbols at once. This allows you to wipe up spills on the control panel.
Always keep the controls dry. Moisture reduces their effectiveness.

Residual heat indicator

The grill has a two-stage residual heat indicator. If an ±bH appears in the display, the grill is still hot. As the grill continues to cool down, the indicator switches to h. The indicator goes out when the grill has cooled down sufficiently.

Before using for the first time

In this section, you can find out what you must do before using your grill to prepare food for the first time. Read the Safety information section beforehand.

Cleaning

Clean the grill and accessories thoroughly before first use using lukewarm soapy water.

Heating the grill

Heat the empty grill for a few minutes at the highest setting. This will eliminate the new odour. A slight development of smoke is normal when the grill is used for the first time.

Grilling with water and lava stones

Fill the grill container with water before each use. The amount of water depends on whether or not you wish to use lava stones. The lava stones store the heat of the grill elements and thus ensure intensive radiation of heat and even distribution of heat.

Filling with water and lava stones

1. Remove the wire rack and fold up both grill elements. Remove the lava stone container from the appliance.
2. Ensure the drain valve is closed.
3. Fill water into the grill container. Grilling with lava stones: 1 litre (bottom mark) Grilling without lava stones: 3.5 litres (top mark)

1. To grill with lava stones: Remove the lava stones from the packaging and place them in the lava stone container. Insert the lava stone container in the appliance.

1. Fold down the grill heating element, replace the wire rack. The grill is ready for operation.

Setting the grill

In this section, you can find out how to set the grill. The table shows grill settings and cooking times for various meals.

Switching the grill on and off

The main switch is used to switch the grill on and off.

To switch on: Touch the ① symbol. A signal sounds. The display above the main switch lights up. The grill is ready to use.

To switch off: Touch the ① symbol until the display above the main switch goes out. The grill has been switched off. The residual heat display remains lit until the grill has cooled down sufficiently.

Note: The grill switches off automatically when the grill setting remains at 0 for more than approx. 15 seconds.

Setting the grill

Set the desired grill setting on the control panel.

Grill setting 1 = lowest output

Grill setting 9 - highest output

Setting the grill setting

Note: You can decide whether the heating zones should be linked or not when the appliance is switched on; see Basic settings.

1. Switch on the grill using the main switch.
2. To select a grill element, touch the grill settings display next to the or symbol.

A bar lights up under the grill settings display for the selected grill element.

1. Touch the symbol.

A bar lights up for both grill elements under the grill settings displays. Both grill elements are linked. The same grill setting is set for both grill elements.

1. Touch the symbol.

The link between both grill elements is cancelled again.
5. Set the desired grill setting on the settings range using the + and - symbols.
6. Touch the + symbol.

9 lights up in the grill setting display.

Or:
Touch the - symbol.
4 lights up in the grill setting display.

The heating symbol lights up.

As soon as the set temperature has been reached, a signal sounds and the heating symbol goes out.

Note: The grill regulates the temperature by switching the grill element on and off. The grill element may be switched on and off even at the highest setting.

Pre-heating the grill

Do not place the food to be grilled onto the grill until the preheating time has elapsed. The heating symbol goes out. During the pre-heating time, the grill heats at full power. Once the preheating time has elapsed, the temperature is reduced by switching the heating element on and off in order to achieve a constant temperature for the relevant setting.

The pre-heating time is between 6 and 10 minutes, depending on the grill setting which has been set.

Note: Do not leave the empty grill to heat up at the highest grill setting for a prolonged period of time (approx. 6 - 10 minutes). Heating up for prolonged periods of time may lead to the appliance shutting down (overheating protection). Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool down before you switch it back on again.

Topping up the water

If there is too little water in the grill container, the overheating protection switches the appliance off. Therefore, while grilling, monitor the water level in the grill container and top it up as necessary.

Grilling with lava stones: bottom mark

Grilling without lava stones: top mark

Risk of scalding!

If water touches the hot wire grilling rack or grill element during topping up, hot steam will be generated. Do not reach over the grill while topping up and do not pour water over the hot components.

Switching Wipe protection on and off

When the appliance is in use, you can activate the key lock for approx. 30 seconds using the Wipe protection function in order to clean the control panel.

1. Touch the symbol to switch Wipe protection on.

Note: When Wipe protection is switched on, all symbols are locked, except for the Wipe protection symbol and the ① symbol for switching off the appliance.

The displays above the symbol and above the ① symbol light up.

1. Clean the control panel with water and washing-up liquid.
2. Touch the 念 symbol to switch off Wipe protection.

Grilling table

The details given in the table are guidelines and apply to a preheated grill. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of items to be grilled.

Only place food on the grill when the preheating time has elapsed.

Turn the food on the grill at least once.

After grilling

Only close the glass ceramic cover after the grill has cooled down completely. Leave damp lava stones to dry completely before you close the glass ceramic cover or else mould could develop.

If the water is still hot when being drained, first add cold water to cool it down! To drain the water, place a heat-resistant container underneath the drain tap. Open the tap by turning the lever 90^ downwards. Then close the tap by turning the lever upwards to the stop.

Automatic time limit

If the appliance is in use for a prolonged period without the setting being changed, the automatic time limit is activated.

Depending on the temperature set, the appliance may be operated for between 2 and 4 hours before the automatic time limit is activated.

The heat is interrupted. F and ±bB flash alternately in the display.

The display goes out when you touch any control. You can reset the temperature.

Tips and tricks

Always preheat the grill. In this way, due to the intensive heat radiation, a crust can form quickly and prevent the meat juices from escaping.
- You can brush or marinate the food with heat-resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil) before grilling. This will improve the flavour. Ensure that you do not use too much oil/marinade, as this could cause the food to catch fire and generate thick smoke.
- Do not salt meat before grilling. Otherwise, soluble nutrients and meat juices could be lost.
Place the food directly on the wire rack. Do not use any aluminium foil or grill linings.
Only turn the food when it can be easily removed from the wire rack. If meat sticks to the wire rack, the fibres will be destroyed and the meat juices will escape.
- Do not prick meat during grilling or the meat juices will escape.
Cured meat, such as ham or smoked pork chops, is not suitable for grilling. A harmful compound can be produced.

Score chops several times at the bone and in the fat layer so that they do not bend during grilling.
We recommend removing the fat layer after grilling rather than before, as otherwise the meat will lose juice and flavour.
Poultry pieces will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste them towards the end of the grilling time with butter, salted water or orange juice.
After grilling, fruit can be seasoned to taste with honey, maple syrup or lemon juice.
Before grilling, you can precook vegetables which take a long time to cook (e.g. corn on the cob).
- Grill fish fillets skin side up first. Brush the skin with oil so that it does not stick to the wire rack.
- Serve grilled food hot. Do not keep it warm or it will become tough.
- Dripping fat can catch fire on the heating elements and can result in brief formation of flames and smoke. To reduce this, very fatty foods should be grilled over a water bath.

Care and cleaning

In this chapter you will find tips on how to maintain and clean your appliance correctly.

Risk of burns!

The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

Risk of electric shock!

Do not use high pressure washers or steam cleaners to clean the appliance.

Cleaning the appliance

Clean the appliance after each use, once it has cooled down. This will help prevent residues from burning on. Once residues have burned on several times, they become more difficult to remove.

Do not scrape burnt-on residues off, but leave them to soak in soapy water.

Remove the wire rack and swivel the heating element upwards. Remove the lava stone tray with the lava stones.
