clean the device before fi rst use: – Wipe the device with a clean, damp cloth. – Wipe the grill plate with a soft, damp cloth/sponge and, if necessary, a small amount of detergent. Dry thoroughly.

3. Before using for the fi rst time, we recommend heating the device once for a few min-

utes to remove any production residues from the grill plate. Follow the instructions in the chapters "Setting up the device" and "Using". During initial startup, production-related additives (e.g. grease) can lead to slight smoke and/or odour development. This is normal and not a defect of the device.

4. Clean the device again (see the "Cleaning and storage” chapter).

6EN 18 Setting up the device OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING! ■ Do not put the device under kitchen cabinets or similar. These may be damaged due to rising steam! ■ The device may only be operated in a horizontal position, never on its side or stand- ing upright. ■ The surfaces of furniture may contain components that can damage and soften the feet of the device. If necessary, place a suitable base under the feet.

1. Place the device with a free space to the sides (at least 20 cm) and above (at least

30 cm) on a fl at, fi rm, heat-resistant surface that is not sensitive to grease splashes.

2. Insert the drip tray (2) into the frame (3).
