The green light indicates when the heating process is complete (after approx. 6-8 minutes) and the grilling temperature has been reached. PLEASE NOTE! During the initial heating period you may notice faint odours. This does not mean that the appliance is faulty. Lightly grease the grilling plates, close the lid and allow the appliance to heat up for approx. 10 minutes without any food. Please ensure adequate ventilation e.g. by opening a window. 7.1. Setting the temperature The following table contains information on the recommended temperature settings for food cooked on the contact grill. Regularly check whether the food is cooked or if the desired level of browning has been achieved. Foodstuff Position for temperature control Steak/hamburgers 4-5 Poultry 4-5 Fish 3-4 Sausages 4-5 Sandwiches, wraps 4-5 Meat skewers/kebabs 5 Vegetables 3-4 Toast 4 7.2. Grilling food You can use the contact grill to prepare e.g. steaks, veal, meat skewers, wraps, etc. The preparation time depends on the thickness and consistency of the food. Fold back the lid. Place the prepared food onto the lower grilling plate. Fold the lid back down and push it down lightly on the handle.

If necessary, use the the spacing adjustment to set the desired clearance be- tween the grilling plates by sliding it forwards or backwards. Check the food after a cooking time of 2 to 4 minutes in order to avoid burning it. CAUTION! Hot steam or splashes of grease may escape when the lid is opened. In order to avoid burns, do not reach into the steam. Only touch the food with cutlery e.g. grilling tongs. ATTENTION! Do not use any sharp objects or cutlery made out of met- al that could damage the non-stick coating on the cook- ing surfaces! If the food is not yet cooked through, close the lid again for a short period of time. If the food has finished cooking, remove it using heat-resistant wooden or plas- tic cutlery. 7.3. Grilling on both grilling plates WARNING! The surfaces of the appliance will become very hot! Do not touch them, there is a risk of burns!
