    Operation

15. If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:

    • Clean the inside surfaces of the appliance, Grill Rack, Upper Grill, Zinc Plate & Windshield with water & detergent with a non-abrasive sponge.
      DO NOT use metal scouring pads. Notice: you may use a dishwasher to clean the Grill Rack and Upper Grill.

    • Ensure that the appliance is completely dry before use.

    • The following items should NOT be placed in the appliance during heating as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock:

    • oversized foods or metal utensils must NOT be inserted into the appliance;

    • containers constructed of any materials (including but not limited to: cardboard, plastic, paper, glass, rubber, silicone, metal, etc.) other than aluminum foil, and ensure that the containers used are approved for use at the set temperature;

    • any solid material such as an aluminum foil or tray, barbecue dishes or other items that wraps around or cover entirely or almost entirely, the Grill Rack or Upper Grill, as the resulting build-up of heat could cause irreparable damage to the appliance.

    • Put oil or grease on the Grill Rack or Upper Grill before placing food to prevent food from sticking onto the Grill Rack or Upper Grill at the end of heating.

    • Always wear protective, insulated appliance gloves when placing or removing items from the Grill Rack or Upper Grill.

    • Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing water in the Body, especially during, and immediately after, the operation.

    • Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its proper functioning.
      DO NOT:

    • cover the appliance during functioning;

    • obstruct totally nor partially the Grill Rack & upper Grill with any solid material such as aluminum foil or tray, barbecue dishes, or other items;

    • insert objects or body parts inside the protective cover of the appliance;

    • use the appliance near curtains or textiles;

    • heat foods without removing the wrappers (including plastic, paper, or metal) first;

    • switch the Heating Element on when it is NOT placed onto the appliance;

    • connect the appliance to the electric mains until the Body has been filled with water;

    • pour water onto the Heating Element to prevent the possibility of electric shock;

    • under any circumstances, use charcoal or any other solid or liquid fuel to operate the grill;

    • leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.

16. During operation, DO NOT touch the appliance with wet body parts, and it is recommended to have between you and the standing surface, an isolating element (for example, wearing shoes with rubber soles).

17. During the period of heating, foods containing a high level of moisture may lead to high-temperature steam being emitted. To avoid scalding:

    • ensure that the appliance is correctly positioned before heating;
    • DO NOT touch any part of the appliance except the Handles and the Thermostat Control Knob when the appliance is hot. The bottom of the appliance becomes exceedingly hot as the appliance operates;
    • one’s hands and face should be angled away from the Grill Rack & Upper Grill.

18. DO NOT soak the appliance in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let any liquid flow into the internal casing of the appliance to prevent electric shock. In case of an accidental fall in the water, DO NOT try to take it out, but first of all, unplug immediately the power cable from the socket.

19. Plug and unplug the power cable firmly holding it with dry hands. Always unplug the power cable to avoid overheating and avoid stretching it (DO NOT pull it, tug it or use it to drag the appliance to which is connected). Before unplugging the appliance, switch it off, using the proper command on the Control Box.

20. Switch the appliance off when not in use and before filling or emptying the appliance. Before storing, cleaning, or performing any maintenance operation, leave to cool for at least 1 hour.

How to use

Warning: DO NOT operate the appliance with any of its parts unassembled. The entire assembled unit works as a single appliance. The appliance must only operate in the upright position. Any other position will be hazardous.

1. Choose a location to operate the appliance that is out in the open, NOT next to a wall or corner. Ensure that no flammable materials are placed around it, under it or above it.
2. Place the assembled appliance on a horizontal, stable, and heat-resistant surface, impervious to splashes and stains. When grilling food with a high fat or moisture content, splashes are unavoidable. Food with a high fat or moisture content may also tend to ignite.
3. Always fill the Body with water between the minimum of 0.4 L (400 mL) & maximum of 0.9 L (900 mL) before you switch on the appliance, and ensure that the water level is kept between these volumes at all times during use. The water helps to cool down the Grill, reduces the build-up of smoke, and also facilitates cleaning. DO NOT connect the appliance to the electric mains until the Body has been filled with water. DO NOT pour water onto the Heating Element to prevent the possibility of electric shock
4. Check that the heating element is correctly fitted to the Body and safely locked.
5. Plug the power cable into the wall socket and switch it ON. Heating will commence immediately. DO NOT, under any circumstances, use charcoal or any other solid or liquid fuel to operate the grill.
6. Set the Thermostat Control Knob to its ‘Max’ position. The indicator light turns on, and the heating element is permanently switched on. Never switch the Heating Element on when it is NOT placed onto the appliance.
7. When it is first switched on, the grill may emit a new smell. A small amount of smoke may also be noticeable. We, therefore, recommend that the grill be allowed to heat up for a moment without any food on the Grill Rack. Ensure sufficient ventilation for the smell and smoke to disperse.
8. After approximately 5 – 10 minutes, the Heating Element reaches the right temperature for grilling. Food may be placed on the Grill Rack. Turn the Thermostat Control Knob to a lower position to avoid overheating the food. Never, under any circumstances, cover the Grill Rack with any solid material such as aluminum foil or tray, barbecue dishes, or other items, as the resulting build-up of heat could cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
9. The grill can also be used to keep food warm: turn the Thermostat Control Knob to a lower position. The Heating Element will be switched on and off alternately, and thus the food can be kept warm.
10. When grilling is finished, turn the Thermostat Control Knob to ‘0’ (OFF), switch the wall socket off, and unplug the power cable.
11. Always bear in mind that the Heating Element, Grill Racks, and Upper Grill, as well as the other parts of the appliance, become very hot during operation. Even after the Heating Element is switched off, it must NOT be touched until it has sufficiently cooled down – there is otherwise a severe danger of burns. Before carrying, transporting, or storing the grill, ensure that it has sufficiently cooled down. Pour out any remaining water after use.

How to clean

1. Turn the Thermostat Control Knob to ‘0’ (OFF), switch the wall socket off and unplug the power cable when not in use. Wait until the appliance has completely cooled before cleaning or performing any maintenance operation.
2. Through away water in the Body.
3. Wipe the exterior of the appliance using a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Remove stubborn spots with a cloth moistened with mild liquid detergent. DO NOT use abrasive scouring pads or powders.
4. Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids, especially the Control Box and Heating Element. Clean the Heating Element with a clean and dry cloth only.
5. Clean the Grill Rack, Upper Grill, Zinc Plate & Body, and Windshield with warm soapy water and dry afterward. DO NOT use abrasive scouring pads or powders.
6. After cleaning, the grill should be stored indoors in a dry location.
