Frequently Asked Questions - VG 195 STEBA

How to clean the grill plate?

Unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool completely. Remove the thermostat controller. Clean the plate with a brush and mild detergent. If very dirty, soak it in soapy water. Never immerse the controller housing in water.

What to do if the red indicator does not light up?

Check the power outlet and that the appliance is plugged in. If the indicator does not light up, the appliance may not be heating yet or may have reached temperature. Consult the troubleshooting table in the manual.

Can I use aluminum foil on the grill?

No, never cover the grill with aluminum foil as it prevents proper heat transfer and could damage the appliance.

How to adjust the temperature?

Use the rotary thermostat with 5 positions: position 1 = off, 2 = keep warm, 3 = low (fish), 4 = medium (delicate meats), 5 = high. The indicator turns off when the temperature is reached.

How to prevent food from sticking to the plate?

Brush the plate with a thin layer of oil before grilling. Use high-heat oils (e.g., sunflower oil) and avoid olive oil which burns at high temperature. Preheat the appliance for 5 to 10 minutes at maximum power.

Is the appliance suitable for outdoor use?

No, the appliance is designed for indoor private use. Do not use it outdoors and do not store it in a damp room.

How to store the appliance?

even, stable and a heat resisting surface. It is important that no inflammable items are

near to the device. Do not place the device on the edge of the table so that it cannot be touched by children or fall down when touched.

Thermostat:

With the thermostat the temperature of the grill plate can be adjusted.

The Numbers on the thermostat knob have following meaning:

1 = thermostat switched on
2 = keeping warm
3 = grilling with low temperature (for fish etc.)
4 = grilling on medium temperature (for chicken etc.)
5 = grilling on max. temperature

Control Lamp:

When the appliance is plugged in and the thermostat is adjusted, the control lamp is shining. When the temperature is achieved, the lamp goes off.

Grill preparations:

Oil the grill slightly before the usage. This makes it more easy to turn the food. Then heat up the device for ca 10 min; the thermostat on maximum level. The food should be not frozen during grilling. Please use the appliance only with the drip tray.

Never cover the appliance with aluminium foil, because the heat cannot get away from the heating element.

Never cut on the grill surface because the coating can be damaged.

During grilling the glass lid can be closed or the glass lid can be used in an opened position as a windshield.

Careful!!:

Steam from the food can emerge when the lid is opened. Danger of burns!

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 (egg, bread, potatoes) must not be grilled too dark

Important note

Cold-pressed oils, such as olive oil should not be used as dripping as these oils have a poor quality at high temperatures.

Due to the high grill temperatures (up to 250°C ), residues of oil, juices, herbs, etc. build up on the hot grill surface and the non-stick effect decreases. It is hard or impossible to remove these residues from the grilling plate.

Therefore, only use heat-resistant oils!
