1. Place the griddle in the bamboo case. To do this, insert

the socket for the thermostat in the opening in the bamboo case. Place the feet of the griddle in the opening of the case.

2. Place the appliance on a level, water and heat-resistant

surface. The surface should be easy to clean as spatter- ing is unavoidable. If resting on a sensitive surface, place a heat-resistant plate beneath it.

3. Please ensure that the temperature regulator is turned to

“0” (off) and insert it into the socket of the thermostat. CAUTION: If the thermostat is not inserted correctly, this may lead to abnormal heating, of which the consequence may be damage or accidents. You should therefore en- sure that the thermostat is inserted correctly.

• The appliance has reached the correct temperature when the control lamp on the thermostat goes off.

• During operation, the pilot lamp switches on and off. This is normal and indicates that the temperature is being thermostatically controlled and maintained. Fat Collecting Pan Excess fat collects in the drip tray.

• Slide the drip tray into the bracket under the griddle.

• When grilling you should check the contents regularly and empty the pan when necessary. Using the Appliance

The appliance is hot during use! CAUTION: Avoid damage to the non-stick coated grill surfaces!

• Do not use pointed objects (e. g. knife, fork) on the grill surface.

• Do not use plastic utensils. They can melt. NOTE:

• Use the corrugated side of the griddle for meat, in order to achieve an intensive grill pattern.

• 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 sunower oil. Do not use olive oil or butter, since they start smoking already at low temperatures.

• Preheat the appliance for around 6 minutes. When the pilot lamp goes out, the grill is ready to use.

• The cooking time depends on the type of food, the quan- tity, and how well cooked the food needs to be, and it must be determined according to your own preferences.

• Turn over the food as required.

• When the cooking process is complete, switch the tem- perature control to “1” to keep the food warm. After Use
