OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before first use
Remove all labels, stickers, and tags, except for the technical information
label. Clean the appliance according to the directions in the “Cleaning and
maintenance” section. Do not submerge the appliance in water and do not pour
water directly onto the appliance.
For best results, lightly grease the nonstick plates with a little cooking
oil.
Warning: do not use this product to cook or defrost frozen foods. All
foods should be completely defrosted before cooking them with this product.
Note – during the first minutes of operation (on the first use only), the
appliance may produce some smoke that will disappear right away. This is
normal and does not
affect the safety or operation of the appliance.
Use
Fully unwind the power cable.
Place the appliance on a flat and horizontal surface, such that the power
cable is not stretched out. Lightly grease the nonstick plates with cooking
oil.
Plug the power cable into the electrical socket. If using an extension cable,
make sure it is grounded. The power indicator light will turn on, indicating
that the appliance is connected to the electrical current.
Rotate the thermostat control knob between the Min and Max position, depending
on the food to be cooked. The operating indicator light will turn on.
Unlock the plates by moving the lock/ elevation lever to the unlocked
position.
Warning: the nonstick plates and appliance surfaces can heat up during
appliance operation. To prevent the risk of burns, only touch the appliance by
its handle.
Allow the nonstick plates to preheat for 5 to 7 minutes. The operating
indicator light will turn off, indicating that the appliance is ready to cook.
Use the handle to lift the upper plate. Place the foods on the lower plate
using, if necessary, a wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensil.
Warning: do not use metal utensils on the nonstick plates, as this may
irreparably damage the nonstick coating. Use the handle to lower the upper
nonstick plate. Note – the operating indicator light may turn on and off
during cooking, which is normal and does not affect the operation of the
appliance. Important – always remove foods with the
help of a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metallic tongs or knives, as
these may cause irreparable damage to the nonstick coating of the plates.
Using the grill in the closed position (fig. 1)
Adjust the thermostat control (6) to the desired temperature. To start, turn
it to the Max position, later adjusting it to your preference.
Unlock the upper plate.
Prepare hamburgers, boneless pieces of meat, and thin cuts of meat or other
foods and place them on the lower plate, using the handle to lift the upper
plate. Close the grill. The upper plate has a floating hinge that is designed
to apply even pressure to the foods. The upper plate should be completely
lowered to leave grill marks on the food.
When the foods are cooked, use the handle to open the grill.
Using the grill in the parallel plate position (fig. 2)
Adjust the thermostat control to the desired temperature. To start, turn it to
the Max position, later adjusting it to your preference. Unlock the upper
plate. Prepare the foods and place them on the lower plate, using the handle
to lift the upper plate. Slide the lock/elevation lever back and close the
grill.In this position, the lock/elevation lever
prevents the upper plate from pressing down on the food.
Using the grill in the open position (figs. 3 and 4)
Adjust the thermostat control (6) to the desired temperature. To start, turn
it to the Max position, later adjusting it to your preference. Unlock the
upper plate. Use the handle to lift the upper plate and press the 180° release
button to unlock the upper plate and allow the grill to open completely.
Prepare the foods and place them on the plates.
Note – some foods release more liquids than others. Pay attention, as
some liquids may drip outside the fat collection tray.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always unplug the grill and let it cool before cleaning it. The grill is
easier to clean when it is slightly warm, but take care not to burn yourself.
The grill does not need to be disassembled for cleaning. Never submerge the
grill in water or put it in the dishwasher. Clean the plates with a soft cloth
to remove food residue. You may squeeze a little bit
of warm water mixed with detergent or place a damp paper towel on the plates
to moisten the residues. Clean with a nonabrasive sponge, cloth or paper
towel. Never use brasive products that may scratch or damage the nonstick
coating. Do not use metal utensils to remove the foods, as these may damage
the nonstick surface. Only use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the
grill. Do not clean the exterior with abrasive sponges or steel wool, as these
will damage the finish. Do not submerge in water or any other liquid. Do not
wash in the dishwasher.
Cleaning the fat collection tray (fig. 5)
Remove and empty the fat collection tray (8) after each use and wash with warm
water and detergent. Avoid using scrub pads or aggressive detergents as these
can damage the surface. Rinse and dry well with a clean, soft cloth and return
to its original position.
Storing the grill (fig. 6)
The grill may be stored vertically. Always unplug the grill before storing it.
Always make sure the grill is cool and dry before storing it.
ANOMALIES AND REPAIR

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
This symbol indicates the separate collection of electrical and electronic
equipment. The main objective of the separate collection of this waste is to
reduce the quantity to be disposed of, promote re-use, recycling, and other
forms of recovery in order to reduce its negative effects on the environment.
When it is no longer in use, this appliance must not be disposed of together
with other unsorted municipal waste. The user is responsible for delivering it
free of charge to the selective collection facilities available for that
purpose. Pieces of equipment that are no longer in use can also be taken back
at points of sale, by purchasing new pieces of equipment that are equivalent
and have the same functions.
For more detailed information on the collection points, please contact your
City Council or a point of sale for this equipment.
