2. Thermostat
3. Drip tray
4. Housing
5. Refill opening

Getting started

• Place the drip tray into the housing.
• Insert the thermostat correctly into the housing above the drip tray to activate the micro switch.
• Fill the drip tray with water up to the “MAX” marking. The water prevents overheating of the dripping grease and reduces heavy smoke.
• Place the grill plate and connect the device to a socket.
• Set the thermostat to Max. after 5 minutes, the grill temperature is reached. Then, you can select a lower setting depending on the food to be cooked.
• Put the food on the grill plate.
• Water should be fill between the MIN and MAX marking, in order to do this, pour half a litre of water through the refill opening every 30 minutes.
• Once finished grilling, turn back the thermostat.

Thermostat:

With the thermostat the temperature of the grill plate can be adjusted.
The numbers on the thermostat knob have the following meaning:

1. = thermostat switched on
2. = keeping warm
3. = grilling with low temperature (for fish etc.)
4. = grilling on medium temperature (for chicken etc.)
5. = grilling on max. temperature

Control Lamp:

Once the appliance is plugged in and the thermostat is adjusted, the control lamp is shining. When the temperature is achieved, the light turns off.

Grill preparations:

Oil the grill plate slightly before the use. This makes it easier to turn the food. Then heat up the device for ca 5 min; the thermostat on maximum level. The food should be not frozen during grilling.

Important note
Cold-pressed oils, such as olive oil should not be used as dripping as these oils have a poor quality at high temperatures.
Due to the high grill temperatures (up to 250°C), residues of oil, juices, herbs, etc.
build up on the hot grill surface and the non-stick effect decreases. It is hard or impossible to remove these residues from the grilling plate.
Therefore, only use heat-resistant oils!

Some Tips for grilling

• Minced meat must be processed immediately
