2.2 General Safety Instructions

ATTENTION! Read all safety instructions and warnings. Failure to comply with the safety notes and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Before use, check that the voltage of the power source matches the specifications on the unit's nameplate. Avoid unintentional start-up. Make sure that no water can penetrate into the device. Never immerse the unit in water or other liquids. Never expose it to rain. Do not use the device if the power plug, power cord or any other part of the device is defective or damaged. A damaged power cord should only be replaced by an authorized service center or similarly qualified person to prevent hazards. Failure to do so may result in electric shock. Never attempt to repair the unit yourself. Do not pull on the cord to remove the power plug from the socket. Instead, hold the power plug in your hand. Never insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.14 www.DEUBAXXL.de Make sure that the power cord is not crushed, bent, damaged by sharp edges or subjected to any other mechanical strain. Avoid subjecting the power cord to excessive thermal stress due to excessive heat or cold. Do not modify the power cord. Failure to do so may damage the power cord. A damaged power cord can result in a life-threatening electric shock. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless these persons are supervised by somebody responsible for their safety or have received instructions from them on how to use the appliance. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. This product should only be used on firm, level ground. If possible, protect your product from rain and weather conditions. During periods of frost and throughout the winter, we recommend storing the products in a dry and protected place.

Keep the workplace clean and well lit. Cluttered and poorly lit areas can cause accidents. Do not use power tools in potentially explosive areas, e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite the dust or exhaust gases. Keep children and other persons away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause loss of control.

2.4 Electrical Safety

The plugs of power tools must be compatible with the socket. Never change the plug. Do not use adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Original plugs and matching receptacles reduce the risk of electric shock. Avoid physical contact with earthed objects such as pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There is a higher risk of electric shock if your body comes into contact with a grounded object. Do not expose power tools to rain or humid environments. The risk of electric shock is increased if water enters a power tool. Use the cord only for its intended purpose. Never use the cord to carry, pull or unplug the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using an outdoor-suitable cord reduces the risk of electric shock.15 www.DEUBAXXL.de If it is necessary to operate a power tool in a humid location, use an earth leakage circuit breaker to protect the power supply. Using a RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Always stay alert, watch your actions and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not operate a power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools can cause serious injury. Avoid accidental starting. Make sure that the switch is turned off before connecting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools with the switch on can cause accidents. Avoid over-fatigue. Always maintain a secure footing. This makes it easier to control the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can get caught in moving parts.

The indicator lamp lights up when the appliance is connected to the power supply (model: GHKG1800 / GHKG1100). Prepare your food to be grilled / your panini while the appliance is pre-heating. Wait until the green indicator lamp goes out. Only then is the appliance pre-heated (model: GHKG2000 / GHKG2500) ATTENTION: The grill plates get very hot – proceed with caution. Depending on the model, the indicator lamp lights up green when the food is ready (or the heating indicator goes out). On the models GHKG2000 and GHKG2500, the green lamp goes out irregularly during operation, indicating the appliance’s heating control. To achieve the best possible cooking results, pre-heat the contact grill / panini maker for approx. 3 – 4 minutes, with the lid closed and no food. Open the lid with an oven mitt or cloth; ensure that it is in an upright position. Now carefully place the food on top using a spatula or tongs, not your fingers. Close the lid carefully; the hinge of the lid is designed to automatically adjust to the thickness of the food to be grilled. Ensure that the grill plates are approximately parallel to prevent uneven cooking. The temperature control allows you to easily determine the degree of browning. (Model: GHKG2000 / GHKG2500) Use a spatula or tongs to remove the food from the grill plate, not your fingers. Close the appliance if you want to continue grilling to avoid burning yourself and to save energy.18 www.DEUBAXXL.de Let the grilled food cool for a few minutes before eating it Unplug the power cord after cooking and allow the contact grill / panini maker to cool down.
