Electrical Connection

Power Requirements

The appliance can consume a total of 1800 W. With this connected load a separate supply line protected by a 16 A household circuit breaker is recommended.

CAUTION: Overload!

• If you use extension leads, these should have a cable cross-section of at least 1.5 ~mm^2 .
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this appliance is too powerful.

Connection

• Make sure that the appliance is switched off. The temperature control must be set to "0".
• Make sure that the iron voltage (see name plate) and the line voltage match.
• The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly installed socket with earthing contact.

Before Initial Use

1. Operate the appliance for around 10 minutes on the highest setting (see "Initial Operation").

NOTE:

This process normally produces a little smoke and some smells. Provide sufficient ventilation.

1. Let the appliance cool down completely.
2. Wipe the grill surfaces with a damp cloth.

Your appliance is now ready to use.

Initial Operation

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 spattering 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 ensure that the thermostat is inserted correctly.

SELF CONTROL

1. Connect the appliance to a properly installed power socket.

2. Set the temperature control according to what you intend to do:

Range Use
1 Keeping warm
2 Cooking
3 Simmering
4 Stir-frying
5 Grilling

i NOTE:

• 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

WARNING:

The appliance is hot during use!

△ CAUTION: Avoid damage to the non-stick coated grill surfaces!

• Only use wooden or Teflon spatula.
• Do not use pointed objects (e. g. knife, fork) on the grill surface.
• Do not use plastic utensils. They can melt.

i 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 sunflower 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 quantity, 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 temperature control to "1" to keep the food warm.

After Use

• To switch the appliance off, first turn the temperature regulator to "0" (off) and remove the plug from the socket.
