If necessary, use kitchen tongs made of plastic or wood. There is a danger of burns. ■ The device must not be moved during operation. There is a danger of burns. ■ Make sure that the connecting cable does not present a trip hazard. It may not hang down from the surface on which the device is placed in order to prevent the device from being pulled down.

■ Only connect the device to a plug socket that is properly installed and matches the technical data of the device. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated. ■ Make sure that the connecting cable is not squashed, bent or laid over sharp edges and does not come into contact with hot surfaces (this also applies to the hot surfaces of the device!). ■ Keep metal objects or other sharp objects away from the device. These objects could damage the non-stick14 coating of the grill plates. We recom- mend the use of heat-resistant kitchen utensils made from wood or plastic. ■ Switch off the device and pull the mains plug out of the plug socket if an error occurs during operation, when there is a power cut or before a thun- derstorm. ■ When you pull the mains plug out of the plug socket, always pull on the mains plug and never the mains cable! ■ Protect the device from other heat sources, naked fl ames, sub-zero temperatures, persistent moisture, wet conditions and impacts. ■ Use only original accessories from the manufacturer in order to guarantee that there is no interference that may prevent the device from working and to avoid possible damage.

There may still be some production residues on the device. To avoid harmful effects to your health, clean the device thoroughly before you fi rst use it and then heat it up for a few minutes. To do this, follow the instructions in the “Cleaning and Storage”, “Setting Up the Device” and “Use” chapters.

SETTING UP THE DEVICE

Please Note! ■ Do not place the device below kitchen wall units or similar cupboards. The rising steam could cause damage to them! ■ The device may only be operated in a horizontal position, never on its side or tilted.

1. Always set up the closed device with

a clear space at the sides (at least 20 cm) and clear space above it (at least 30cm) on a fl at, solid and heat-re- sistant surface that is resistant to fat splashing.

2. Insert the grill plates (4 and 9) into the

device: To do this, place one grill plate at a slight angle with the recesses into the locking lugs (3 and 8) on the device and press down. The grill plate must engage audibly (Picture C).

3. Insert the fat collecting tray (6) into the

bottom of the housing. FUNCTIONS

START / STOP The device is switched on or off via the fi eld (21). The preheating / grilling process is started or stopped via the fi eld (15).

The grilling process cannot be paused! If it is ended via the fi eld , it has to be completely restarted. PREHEATING The device automatically preheats fi rst on each mode (apart from manual mode), which is indicated by the fi eld (20) fl ashing. The device has only reached the desired temperature for the selected mode once you hear 4 short and 1 long beep. PRESET MODES The device has 6 preset modes (13, 18 and 19) on which the temperature is set automatically. ideal for burgers ideal for grilled chicken, chicken breast fi llets or similar ideal for sandwiches, baguettes or similar15

ideal for all kinds of sausages ideal for all kinds of meat ideal for all types of fi sh that can be grilled

In Meat and Fish modes, the degree of cooking you want must also be chosen before start- ing the grilling process. MANUAL MODE The device also offers the option of setting a manual mode via the fi eld (14) in order, for example, to grill desserts, vege- tables or something else. In this mode, the preheating phase does not take place and the device heats up from room tempera- ture to max. 200°C.

The degree of cooking that you want in modes (19) and (18) must be chosen after fi nishing the preheating via the select degree of cooking fi elds (16): rare – medium – well – well done.

Please bear in mind: This categori- sation relates to a steak that is ap- prox. 4 cm thick (300g) (Picture D). The particular degree of cooking is always dependent on the type, quality, origin and thickness of the chosen food (see also the “Tips and Tricks” chapter). You need to make an adjustment for the individual food and check the cooked result! DEFROSTING To defrost food, you can select the “De- frost” function via the fi eld (12). In this case, the temperature in the device increases slowly from room temperature to no more than 250°C – this ensures that the food defrosts gently.

LED COLOUR COUNTDOWN

The LED colour countdown (17) indicates the progress of the grilling process: green approx. 0 – 25% yellow approx. 25 – 50% orange approx. 50 – 75% red approx. 75 – 100% USE Please Note! ■ The device must not be left unattended during operation! ■ In the interest of your own safety, inspect the device and the connecting cable for damage each time before you use it. Use the device only if it is in working order.

Although the grill plates (4, 9) have a non-stick coating, we still recommend that you lightly grease them before fi rst use. Do not use any cooking spray as it can attack the non-stick coating!

○ Not all meat or fi sh is the same. The fl avour is dependent on lots of different factors – the type, origin, fi shing method, rearing of the animal and so on ... The rule when grilling is therefore: Quality over quantity! As you also can and should enjoy grilled meat and grilled fi sh on its own or with just a few herbs and spices, it is well worth spending a bit more money when you make your choice. ○ The grilled result is also dependent on the size and thickness of the meat or fi sh – here you should always have a look from time to time during the grill- ing process to see whether the chosen settings also perfectly suit this piece of meat or fi sh. ○ When you are grilling round foodstuffs, such as sausages, corn on the cob etc., the grilling process usually takes a little longer owing to the small contact surface. We recommend turning the food 90° one or two times so that it is deliciously seared all the way round. ○ If you are grilling several times in quick succession, we recommend giving the grill plates a rough clean with a brush in between times to prevent any food from burning into them and also pre- vent too much smoke being produced. ○ You should only season meat or fi sh after the grilling process so that the herbs or spices do not burn on the grill and thus alter the fl avour.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
