Workplace

Important
Never place this device on or next to hot surfaces (e.g. hot stoves). Only use it on an even, stable, and heat-resisting surface. It is important that no inflammable items are near to the device. Do not place the device on the edge of the table so that it cannot be touched by children or fall down when touched. Make sure that the air intake on the bottom is not blocked by soft objects (such as tablecloths or dust).

Getting started

Important
The appliance can smoke slightly when used the first time. Never put oversized food inside the oven and prevent any contact to the heating elements. Food that contains much fat should be grilled on level 3, the drip tray should be put 2 levels below.

• Connect the device to the mains and push the ON/OFF switch on the rear.
• Insert the grill plate and drip tray with the tray handle into the device and remove the handle. Use cooking gloves.
• Press the control dial. The display shows 400°C and 10 minutes.
• If no setting is made within 20 seconds, the device turns into standby mode.
• Press the control dial again, the display flashes 400°C. Turn the knob to change the temperature from 400°C to 850°C in steps of 10°C.
• Press the control dial again, 10 minutes is flashing. Turn the knob to change the time from 10 minutes to 99,59 minutes in steps of 30 seconds.
• Press the control dial again to start the device.
• As soon as the device heats up, an LED lights up next to the temperature display.
• Once the desired temperature has been reached, a short signal sounds, and the set time starts to run.
• During operation, the temperature and time can be changed at any time. Press the control dial 4x until the temperature display flashes. Now this can be changed with the control dial. By pressing again, the temperature is confirmed and the time can be set. Another press confirms and starts the device with the newly set values.
• If the button is pressed again, the device turns into standby mode after 20 seconds.
• Important! The ventilation for cooling the electronics continues to run until the device has reached a temperature of 60°C. “H” lights up in the display. Only then press the power switch.
• The dark discoloration in the middle of the radiator is caused by the temperature regulator in the ceramic.

The danger of burns!

• Because of the high temperatures, the tray handle must be removed from the grill plate or the drip tray during operation.
• It is advisable to put some water in the drip tray so that the fat cannot ignite.
• Keep calm in case of fire! Firstly, remove the drip tray, then the food.

Do not extinguish with water

but use a damp cloth to extinguish the flames. ∙ Key lock: if the control dial is pressed for at least 3 seconds, the key lock is activated, and “L” lights up in the display. Press again for 3 seconds to unlock the device.

Temperature

• At maximum setting, the core temperature in the ceramic heater is 830°C +/- 20°C and is affected by the alternating voltage.
• Due to the high temperatures in the device, the stainless steel discolors, which is affected by the radiant heat. This is not a reason for complaint.
• At the different insertion levels, the radiation temperature reduces. The insertion level depends on:
  • Own taste
  • Type of food (beef, pork, veal, fish, etc.)
  • Degree of browning
  • Thickness
  • Fat content
  • Selected temperature
• Insertion level:
  • The upper slots (levels 1 – 4) are suitable for grilling
  • The middle slots (levels 4 – 6) are suitable for gratinating
  • The lower slots (levels 6 – 9) are suitable for resting
• As there are various personal preferences, experiences should be gathered in terms of temperature setting, insertion level, and time.
• Important: Since extremely high temperatures are used, the grilled food must always be observed!
• To achieve a quick browning, the meat should be inserted as close as possible to the radiator without touching the radiator!
• The most intense heat is directly under the radiator in the rear of shelf levels 1 and 2. This area is marked on the grill plate. From level 3 downwards, the angle of radiation and the grill temperature change.
• Grilling time:
  • Meat, per side 1 – 4 minutes (depends on thickness)
  • Poultry, per side 2 – 3 minutes (depends on thickness)
• Resting time: 3 minutes in resting time. Before serving, the meat can be grilled briefly from both sides.
• Core temperatures

Seasoning: only sprinkle with salt, pepper, and other spices after grilling.

Note

• The meat should be taken out of the fridge approx. 1 hour before grilling so that it warms to room temperature.
• Dab the moisture of the meat before grilling so that the browning can be obtained quickly.
• Pull out the grill plate with the handle and place the food on it. Insert the drip tray 2 levels below, and the resting tray at the lowest level.
• Turn the meat after 1 – 4 minutes and grill for another 1 – 4 minutes until the desired degree of browning is obtained.
• In order to avoid grease drops on the work surface, which may result while pulling out the grill plate, firstly pull out the lower drip tray to 2/3.
• Then pull out the grill plate.
• Do not grill cured meat or dry food (e.g. crispbread)!
• Leave the meat to rest for about 5 minutes in the resting tray.
• To spice up the crispy crust, roast again for about 30 seconds on each side.
• Lean meat contains little fat and does not brown well. It should be turned frequently until the desired degree of browning is achieved.
• Fish:
  • Fish protein coagulates very quickly and becomes dry and firm. Fish should be grilled at levels 3 – 4 at full power for about 30 seconds per side. Leave to rest in the resting tray for a few minutes.
