Frequently Asked Questions - ET375GU11E/01 SIEMENS

How to use my Siemens ET375GU11E/01 grill for the first time?

Before first use, take the lava stones out of the bag and pour them into the tray. Clean the grill and accessories thoroughly, then heat the empty grill for a few minutes at maximum power to eliminate the new smell. A slight release of smoke is normal.

Can I use the grill without the lava stones?

Yes, you can use the grill with a water bath only. Fill the tray with water up to the upper level (2.5 L) and place the grid. The meat will be juicier thanks to the water vapor.

How to fill the lava stone tray with water?

Remove the grid and lift the heating element. Take out the tray, fill it with 700 ml of water up to the lower mark, then put the lava stones back and replace the tray. Lower the heating element and place the grid before preheating.

What to do if the grill turns off during cooking?

The overheating protection may shut off the appliance if the temperature is too high. Turn off the grill, let it cool completely, then turn it back on. Avoid preheating empty for more than 12 minutes.

How to clean the grill after use?

Let the grill cool completely before cleaning. Empty the water via the drain tap (turn the lever 90° downwards). Clean the metal parts with warm soapy water, the grid by hand, and the glass ceramic lid with a damp cloth. Never put parts in the dishwasher.

How often should the lava stones be replaced?

The lava stones should be replaced when they turn dark and are saturated with fat. You can purchase them from your dealer or Siemens after-sales service.

Can I use the glass ceramic lid as a serving tray?

No, never use the lid as a serving tray or warming plate. Wait until the grill has cooled to put the lid back in place. Never operate the appliance with the lid closed.

How to prevent meat from sticking to the grid?

Lightly oil the grid with a heat-resistant oil before cooking. Do not salt the meat before cooking. Turn the food only when it easily comes off the grid.

What is the recommended preheating time?

Preheat the grill for 8 to 12 minutes at maximum power (position 9). Beyond that, the overheating protection may shut off the appliance.

What to do in case of a grease fire?

Never extinguish with water. Smother the flames with a lid or damp cloth and immediately turn off the grill. Keep children away.

6 Indicator light

Control and indicator light

Turn the control to choose the heat setting of the grill. The heat setting is infinitely variable. To switch off the grill, turn the control to 0 after grilling.

The indicator light goes on when the grill is switched on and warns that the appliance is hot.

Grill heating element

Caution, risk of burns! The grill heating element heats up during operation. Wait until the appliance has cooled down before touching the grid iron or the grill heating element.

You might notice that the grill heating element switches on and off automatically during the grilling time. This is normal.

You can tilt up the heating element after taking off the grid iron. For safety reasons, tilting up the heating element will result in the heating element being switched off, even if the control is switched on.

Lava stone container

Before using the appliance for the first time, take the lava stones out of the plastic bag and pour them into the lava stone container.

Water bath

Always fill the grill trough with water before each use. The amount of water depends on whether you wish to grill with or without lava stones.

Caution, risk of scalding! If water splashes onto the hot grid iron or grill heating element when adding more water to the trough, this will result in hot steam being given off.

Setting the grill

With your new grill you can grill over the lava stones or over the water bath.

The lava stones accumulate the heat from the grill heating element and radiate an intense and even heat.

When grilling over the water bath the rising steam will keep grilled meat juicy and tender.

Grilling over the lava stones

1. Remove the grid iron and tilt up the grill heating element. Remove the lava stone container.
2. Pour in approx. 0.7 litres of water up to the lower marking.

1. Preheat the grill for approx. 8-12 minutes on the highest setting. Then you can put on the food to be grilled. Select the heat setting according to the settings table.

Note: preheat the empty appliance for a maximum of 8-12 minutes. If the appliance is preheated for too long, it might switch off (overheating protection). Switch off the appliance and leave to cool down before switching on again.

Fat dripping onto the grill heating element and the hot lava stones will produce smoke. Dripping fat may flare up briefly.

Water level

When grilling, always monitor the water level in the grill trough and, if required, add more water up to the lower marking.

Caution, risk of scalding! If water splashes onto the hot grid iron or grill heating element when adding more water to the trough, this will result in hot steam being given off.

Draining the water

In the event that the water is still hot when drained, add some cold water to the container to cool it!

To drain the water, place a heat-resistant container beneath the drain valve. Open the drain tap by turning the lever down by 90^ . Then close the tap by turning the lever fully up.

Changing the lava stones

The lava stones absorb any fat which drips from the grill. When the stones become dark, this means that they are saturated and must then be replaced.

You can obtain suitable lava stones from your specialist dealer or our after-sales service.

Grilling over the water bath

1. Remove the grid iron and tilt up the grill heating element. Remove the lava stone container.
2. Pour in approx. 2.5 litres of water up to the upper marking.

Tips for grilling

Quality of the meat	The grilled result depends on the nature and quality of the meat and on your personal taste. As far as possible, grilled pieces should be equally thick. In this way, they will brown evenly and they will stay nice and juicy.
Preheating the grill	Always preheat the grill. In this way, the intensive heat radiation will seal the surface of the grilled food and juice cannot leak out.
Preparing the food	To avoid drying out the surface and to improve the taste, lightly brush the food before grilling with heat-resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil). Make sure you do not use too much oil as otherwise there will be a risk of fire.Always grill steaks unsalted. Otherwise, water and soluble nutrients might leak and be lost.Do not remove the fatty layer (e.g. on a cutlet) until after grilling as otherwise the meat will lose juice and aroma.
Placing the food on the grill	Place grilled pieces directly on the grid iron. If there is only one piece for grilling, place it in the middle of the grid iron for best results.
Turning the food	Turn the meat when small fluid drops can be seen on the surface of the meat.Turn grilled pieces over as soon as they can be removed easily from the grid iron. If the meat is sticking to the grid iron its texture will be destroyed and juice will leak out.
Tips for grilling	Do not pierce the meat while grilling it. It may lose its juice.Meat is medium if juice appears on the surface of a steak (pink inside and crispy brown on the outside).Serve grilled food hot. Grilled food will go tough if you keep it warm.
Dripping Fat	Fat dripping onto the grill heating element may flare up briefly and will produce smoke. To reduce flaring up, grill fatty food over the water bath.

Care and cleaning

Do not use high-pressure or steam jet cleaning devices.

Caution, risk of burns! Wait until the grill has cooled down completely before cleaning it.

Clean the grill after every use. Burnt in residues may be difficult to remove.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Draining the water

In the event that the water is still hot when drained, add some cold water to the container to cool it!

To drain the water, place a heat-resistant container beneath the drain valve. Open the drain tap by turning the lever down by 90°. Then close the tap by turning the lever fully up.

Cleaning the metal parts

Wipe clean the metal surfaces using warm soapy water. Polish with a clean, dry cloth.

Avoid scratching or scrubbing as this could cause permanent scratches. Remove stubborn soiling with a soft brush or soak with a small amount of soapy water.

Cleaning the grid iron

The grid iron can be cleaned by hand by adding a mild detergent to the cleaning water. Do not apply acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) to the enamel surface.

Do not scrape away burnt in residues but soak with a small amount of soapy water.

Lava stones

It is advisable to dry very damp lava stones occasionally in the oven at 200 °C. This will prevent the formation of mildew.

Glass ceramic panel and glass ceramic cover

Remove light soiling using a damp cloth, or with warm soapy water.

Rinse any left-over detergent with cold water and dry the surface well.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Do not use an abrasive sponge or a scouring agent. Nor should any chemically aggressive cleaners such as oven sprays or stain removers be used.

Do not clean the grid iron, the lava stone container and the glass ceramic cover in a dish washer.
