Never leave an empty griddle on full power. This allows the thermal fuse in the plug to be overloaded and blown faster. Blown fuses are not covered by warranty.
Lassen Sie die Kochplatte niemals auf einer maximal eingestellten Leistung des Erwärmens. Die erwärmte Kochplatte kann eine zu schnelle Überhitzung der Thermosicherung in der Steckdose verursachen. Die Thermosicherungen werden nicht von der Garantie erfasst.
Laat een lege plaat nooit langdurig op vol vermogen staan. Hierdoor kan de thermische zekering van de stekker overbelast worden en sneller defect gaan. Doorgebrande zekeringen vallen niet onder garantie.
Nigdy nie zostawiaj płyty ustawionej na petną moc grzania. Pozostawianie nagrzanej płyty może spowodować zbyt szybkie przegrzanie bezpiecznika termicznego w gniazdku elektrycznym. Bezpieczniki termiczne nie podlegają gwarancji.
Ne laissez jamais une plaque vide à puissance maximum longuement. Ceci pourrait forcer et détraquer le fusible thermique. Les fusibles brûlés ne tombent pas sous garantie.

• First, prepare the food to be grilled (clean, marinate, apply spices and, if necessary, a thin layer of oil or fat). Let moist foodstuffs dry.
• Place the stuff to grill at the centre of the baking plate. Do not use any metallic or sharp edged tools. They could damage the non-stick coating on the unit.

• Plug the connector with thermostat into the appliance, then connect the main plug to a suitable socket.

• Turn the thermostat pass "0", the indicator lamp lights up, the baking plate begins to heat up.

• Caution: the unit becomes very hot during operation! Touch it only at the handle.
• You can terminate the grilling process any time by turning the thermostat to "0" or pulling out the mains plug.
• Always pull out the mains plug, when the grilling operation is over.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• First remove the larger pieces of food such as
