• Please ensure that children are not able to pull the device down from the work surface with the power cable.
• Keep the device out of the reach of children.

DANGER to and from pets and livestock

• Electrical devices can represent a hazard to pets and livestock. In addition, animals can also cause damage to the device. For this reason you should keep animals away from electrical devices at all times.

DANGER! Risk of electric shock due to moisture

The device, the power cable and the mains plug must not be immersed in water or any other liquids.
- Protect the device from moisture, water drops and water spray.
- If liquid gets into the device, remove the mains plug immediately. Have the device checked before reusing.
- Never touch the device with wet hands.
- If the device falls into water, disconnect the mains plug immediately. Only then is it safe to retrieve the device.

DANGER! Risk of electric shock

• Only plug the mains plug into the wall socket after the device has been completely assembled.
• Only connect the mains plug to a properly installed and easily accessible earthed wall socket whose voltage corresponds to the specifications on the rating plate. The wall socket must continue to be easily accessible after the device is plugged in.
• Ensure that the power cable cannot be damaged by sharp edges or hot points. Do not wrap the power cable around the device.
  The device is not fully disconnected from the power supply, even after it is switched off. In order to fully disconnect it, pull out the mains plug.
• When using the device, ensure that the power cable cannot be trapped or crushed.
• When removing the mains plug, always pull the plug and never the cable.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket ...

... if there is a fault,

... when you are not using the device,
... before you clean the device, and
... during thunderstorms.

To avoid any risk, do not make modifications to the device.
Do not use the device if there is visible damage to the device or the power cable.

DANGER! Risk of fire

The device must not be operated close to flammable liquids or materials, or in a potentially explosive environment. Keep at a distance of at least 30~cm from walls. In order to prevent overheating of the device or a potential fire, the device must not be covered. The grill plates must under no circumstances be covered with aluminium foil, aluminium containers or heat-resistant materials.
The power cable must not touch the metal surfaces during operation.

DANGER! Risk of injury through burning

The metal surfaces become very hot during operation. Only touch the handles and control elements of the device during operation.
The device remains very hot after it is switched off, and must not be touched.
- Only transport the device when it has cooled down, and when doing so only use the handles intended.

DANGER for birds

• Birds breathe faster, distribute the air differently in their bodies and are significantly smaller than humans. For this reason, it may be dangerous for birds to inhale even the smallest smoke quantities, which develop while this device is running. When using this device, birds should be relocated into a different room.

WARNING! Risk of material damage

• Ensure that the device is switched off before you plug it into a wall socket (turn both thermostat controls to "●" until they go no further).
  Only use the original accessories.
  Do not use kitchen utensils made of metal to lift grilled food from the grill plate. Use e.g. a wooden spatula.
• Do not use any astringent or abrasive cleaning agents.
  The device is fitted with non-slip plastic feet. As furniture is coated with a wide array of varnishes and synthetics, and is also treated with different care products, it cannot be fully ruled out that some of these materials contain ingredients that could attack and soften the non-slip plastic feet. If necessary, place a non-slip mat under the device.

6.3 Grill plate setting

Depending on what you wish to prepare, there are 3 different ways to set up the grill plates 3.

Contact grill (Figure B)

NOTE: please note that opening the lid 2 may cause any oil or fat present to drip from the lid onto the work surface.

This contact setting of the grill plates 3 allows double-sided, rapid grilling of pieces of meat, e.g. filet steak, rump steak, cutlets, sausages, or of vegetables.

1. Preheat the grill plates 3 (see "Heating up" on page 7).
2. Open the lid 2 of the contact grill upwards. Be careful not to raise the lid any further after it is vertical.
3. Place the food to be grilled on the lower grill plate 3.
4. Close the lid 2 and press it down gently onto the food to be grilled, so that both grill plates 3 are in contact with the food.

Barbecue (Figure C)

The open position of the grill plates is suitable ...

... for slow grilling of comparatively thick food,

... for preparing food with different temperature settings simultaneously, and

... for preparing comparatively large quantities of food.

1. Fold out the base 10.
2. Open the lid 2 upwards, lift it up, and open it further until it is horizontal.
3. Preheat the grill plates 3 (see "Heating up" on page 7), however do so with the lid open.
4. For the barbecue position, also place the second grease drip tray 16 under

the oil/ fat runoff 9 of the upper grill plate 3.
5. Place the food to be grilled on both grill plates 3.

Grill oven (Figure D)

The oven function is particularly suitable for the gratinating of food.

1. Preheat the grill plates 3 (see "Heating up" on page 7).
2. Open the lid 2 of the contact grill upwards. Be careful not to raise the lid any further after it is vertical.
3. Place the food to be grilled on the lower grill plate 3.
4. Lift the lid 2 upwards and pull it forwards and down, until it is parallel above the lower grill plate 3.

6.4 Switching off

1. Set both thermostat controls 11 + 13 to the setting "●".
   2.Pull out the mains plug 4.

7. Cleaning

Clean the device prior to its first use!

DANGER! Risk of electric shock!

Pull the mains plug 4 out of the wall socket before you clean the contact grill.
The device, the power cable and the mains plug 4 must not be immersed in water or any other liquids.

DANGER! Risk of injury through burning!

• Allow all the parts to cool down before cleaning.

WARNING! Risk of material damage!

• Do not use any astringent or abrasive cleaning agents.

Clean the device after each use and remove all food residues.

Outer surfaces

Grease drip trays

The grease drip trays 16 may be cleaned by hand or in a dishwasher.

Grill plates

For purposes of cleaning, remove the grill plates 3 from the device after it has cooled down.

1. Press the grip clamps 8 to the side and remove the grill plates 3 from their brackets.
2. The grill plates 3 may be cleaned by hand or in a dishwasher. Dry them completely before re-inserting.
3. Place the grill plates 3 into the device and press them against the grip clamps 8 until the grill plates click into position.

NOTE: burnt-on food or fat residue is often easier to remove if you leave a damp washcloth on the baked-on residue overnight to soften it.

8. Storage

DANGER for children!

• Keep the contact grill out of the reach of children.

• Clean all parts, and allow them to dry properly before you put the contact grill away.
  Figure E: wind the power cable 4 around the cable spool 5 when the device is upright.
