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 corres- ponds 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°C – 200°C = keeping warm 200°C – 225°C = 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.35 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 ma- ximum 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! right grill plate (power grill plate) Left 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. sun- flower 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 opera- ted 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 gril- ling on the right power plate with 1 minute per side. (The times are approximate and subject of meat, thickness and quality.)36 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 Accessories Grill table for Premium BBQ-table grill VG 500 Can be used for all other Steba BBQ-table grills as well Table surface: 40 x 52 cm 2 foldaway trays each 31 x 27,5 cm 2 bottle shelves: 12 x 26 cm Big lower tray e.g. for beverages With its two wheels also for mobile use
