USE

Before first use

Remove the grill from the packaging. Before disposing of the packaging, be sure to remove all components. Make sure the grill is not damaged.
Remove all stickers and labels from the grill.
Wash the external surface of the grill and grill plates with a soft sponge, slightly dampened in warm water. Wipe dry.
Remove the drip tray and wash it in warm water with a little kitchen detergent. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Reinstall the tray.
We recommend turning on the grill at maximum power without any ingredients for about
minutes to burn off the grill. During this time, you may experience faint smoke and an unpleasant odor. This is a normal thing that disappears with use. Allow the grill to cool down and then clean it again according to the instructions in the “Cleaning and maintenance” section.

Use

Place the grill on a dry, clean, solid and heat-resistant surface at a sufficient distance from the mains socket. Make sure that the grill is placed far enough away from heat-sensitive and flammable materials and that the safety instructions are followed.
Make sure the thermostat is in the OFF position.
Make sure the grill is closed and the drip tray is installed correctly.
Fully unroll the power cable. Make sure that the power supply is located so that it does not touch the grill that heats up during use or other heat sources, such as electric or gas stoves.
Insert the power plug into the AC outlet and the red power light will light up. It will be lit as long as the grill is plugged in.
Turn the thermostat and set the desired temperature level from MIN to MAX, where “MAX” is the highest temperature and “MIN” is the lowest temperature.
The green ready light comes on. It shows that the grill is heating to the set temperature. Once it goes off the grill is ready to use.
Open the top plate by gripping the handle and place the ingredients you want to grill or bake on the grill plate. Carefully close the top plate.
Check the condition of the food regularly and you can change the set temperature level as needed.
During operation, the green ready light will come on and off, which means that the grill is warming up to operating temperature. Likewise, the green ready light will be on when you raise the temperature. In that case wait until the green indicator goes off.
Once the preparation is complete, open the top plate by the handle and remove the food from the grill plate. Use only wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils. Metal utensils, knives, forks, etc. can scratch the non-stick coating and damage the grill. We recommend using protective kitchen gloves.
When you are not using the grill, turn the thermostat to the OFF position and unplug it. Allow the grill to cool completely and then clean it according to the instructions in the “Cleaning and maintenance” section.
Note: If you are grilling high-fat ingredients, fold out the front legs. The grill will tilt back slightly and the fat will drain more easily into the drip tray.

Opening the grill
The grill can be opened, and you can grill on both grill plates. Proceed as follows:

Unfold the front legs.
Open the top plate by the handle.
Hold the handle with one hand and press the lock on the right side with the other hand. Keep the lock pressed and slowly pull the top plate backwards until its handle touches the work surface. Then release the lock.
Now you can use both grill plates.
If you need to fold the grill, grasp the grill by the handle and carefully lift the top plate. Warning: Do not handle the grill when it is switched on, hot or plugged in.
Warning: During use, the grill heats up and remains hot even after use. Do not touch the hot surface. There is a risk of severe burns.

Tips and advice
The meat will be more tender and cook faster if you marinate it before cooking (e.g. in oil with herbs, yogurt or sour cream, etc.). Do not add salt to the marinade. It releases water from the meat and dries it. It is important that the meat in the marinade is completely submerged, ideally overnight.
Grill plates have a non-stick finish that minimizes the use of fat. If you still want to use fat or oil, make sure it is suitable for grilling.
Before eating poultry meat, make sure that the meat is completely cooked through. You can use a commercially available meat thermometer for this purpose.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always switch off the appliance, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket and allow it to cool down completely before any cleaning and maintenance.

Warning:
Never immerse the appliance, the power cable and plug in water or any other liquid.
Do not use plastic or metal scrapers, harsh cleaners, chemicals, petrol, solvents or other similar substances to clean parts of the appliance. The surface finish could be heavily damaged.
Wipe the external surface of the grill and grill plate with a soft sponge slightly moistened with warm water. Wipe dry.
Grill plates will be easier to clean if they are lukewarm.
Carefully remove the drip tray and empty its contents. Be careful, the accumulated fat can be very hot.
Wash the bowl in warm water with a little dish detergent. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Reinstall the tray. You can also wash the drip tray in the dishwasher.

Storage
Make sure that the appliance is cool and clean before storing.
Store the appliance in a dry and well-ventilated place out of the reach of children or pets.
Do not place any objects on the appliance.
