Before first use 1 Remove all packaging materials, stickers and accessories from the inside and the outside of the appliance. Never place the appliance directly on a fragile surface (glass table, tablecloth, varnished furniture,etc.) or on a soft surface such as a dish towel. Select a dry, level location where the grill will be used, leaving enough space between the back of the grill and wall to allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets and walls. 2 Wipe grill plates with a soapy sponge, then wipe clean with a wet sponge to remove any remaining soap. 3 Place the drip tray under the bottom housing of the grill. The drip tray will allow the run off to be collected at the front of the grill. 4 Fully unwind the power cord. Make sure that the electric power supply is compatible with the power rating and voltage indicated on the bottom of the appliance.

Do not move the appliance when in use. 5 Plug the power cord into an outlet. If an extension cord is used: take all necessary precautions to prevent anyone from tripping over the extension cord. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. The power supply cord should be regularly examined for signs of damage, and if the cord is damaged, the appliance must not be used. On first use, there may be a slight odor and a little smoke during the first few minutes. In these cases, open the windows and wait until there is no more smoke or odor. This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system. 6 The orange indicator light comes on to indicate the grill is heating. When the temperature is reached, the indicator light will turn off. Allow the grill to preheat for several minutes before grilling and until the light goes out.

Connection and pre-heating

Tfal-SIMPLECURVGRIL-NC00118547-2 20/06/13 09:15 Page78 8 Important: the appliance is hot during use. Close the cover and allow food to cook for the selected time. If desired, use a kitchen timer. Do not leave the appliance unattended during use or when plugged in. Important: Do not use heavy pressure on the lid of the grill at any time. To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid frequently. For best results, do not overload the grill. Remember that since the grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will typically be shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking. 9 Once cooking is complete, carefully open the grill cover using a pot holder. Always use silicone, heatproof plastic or wood utensils to avoid scratching nonstick surface of grill plates. Never use metal spatulas skewers, tongs, forks or knives. Never cut directly on the grill plates. 10 Do not remove the drip tray while cooking. If the drip tray becomes full when cooking, let the appliance cool down before emptying. Wash and dry drip tray after each use. To preserve the non-stick properties of the coating, do not cook food in aluminium foil. Never run the appliance empty. Do not place cooking ustensils on the cooking surfaces of the appliance.
