Cleaning

  · Clean the housing with a damp cloth

• Do not immerse the appliance in water or you do not spray it off with a garden hose.
• Extremely high heat can change the color of the stainless steel parts.

On/Off switch

Connect the device to the mains. Then press the on/off switch on the side. Switch off the device again after grilling.

Control lamp:

The blue light shines if the thermostat is set in. If the desired temperature is reached the lamp goes off and on.

Thermostat

The unit has 2 thermostats. The left thermostat is adjusted to a plate temperature of 250^ C. The right thermostat is adjusted to a plate temperature of 300^ C. This corresponds to an all-around heat in the grill room of 150^ C.

With the thermostat the temperature of the grill plate can be adjusted. The Numbers on the thermostat knob have following meaning:

100^ C = thermostat switched on

150^ - 200^ = keeping warm

200^ - 225^ = grilling with low temperature (for fish etc.)

225°C - 275°C = grilling on medium temperature (for chicken etc.)

300°C = grilling on max. temperature

Rack

Ready grilled meat or jacket potatoes can be kept warm on this surface with open lid; it can also be used to crisp white bread etc. The temperature in this area, when the lid is closed and the thermostat is set to max, is around 200^ C.

Thermometer

The thermometer shows the all-around heat, but not the temperature on the plates.

Grill preparations

If the device is used for the first time, all parts should be wiped with a damp cloth. Then the device should be preheated for about 15 minutes with the lid closed at maximum temperature to burn off possible residues of production. This may cause some smoke. Important: The enameled die-cast plates must be inserted correctly! Arrows must point to the front!

Left grill plate

right grill plate (power grill plate)

The grease drip trays on the left and right side as well as the internal reflectors, must be inserted so that the surface will not get damaged. The grill plates must not be covered with aluminum foil, otherwise this could cause overheating. To prevent damage, do not cut on the grill plates!

The heating rods glow differently due to technical reasons.

Grilling

Oil the grill plates slightly before usage. This makes it easier to turn the food (eg. sunflower oil – virgin oils must not be used!). The best results are obtained when the lid is closed, as it hereby created an all-around heat. If the lid is closed the temperature increases by around 30^ C. This reduces energy consumption! The device can be operated with left side only, right side only or both sides together. You can pre-grill on the left plate, for example, and finish grilling on the power plate with 300^ C. Please make sure that there is not too much fat on the plates or in the drip tray. Heavily soiled items can ignite! For grill suggestions please refer to the following recipe ideas.

Grill plate and power plate

At maximum temperature setting and closed lid following temperatures are obtained on the plates:

• Grill plate left: 250°C
• Power plate right: 300°C

You can grill a steak on the left plate at 220^ C for 4 minutes per side and finish grilling on the right power plate with 1 minute per side. (The times are approximate and subject of meat, thickness and quality.)

Some Tips for grilling

In the interest of your health:

· Minced meat must be processed immediately
- Separate roasted poultry from raw meat, do not eat raw meat and always grill until fully cooked.
· Cured meat and sausages should not be grilled too much.
· Starches (eg, bread, potatoes) must not be grilled too dark
