Workplace

Important:
Never place this device on or next to hot surfaces (e.g. hot stoves). Only use it on a even, stable and a 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.

Safety requirements during usage

• Do not use the grill plate outside of the appliance.

• Close the glass lid before transportation.
• When the glass lid is in the position as a windshield then the lid must not be pushed to the front or to the back by force. To close the lid pull it carefully upwards and then close it.
• The device must not be operated with charcoal or flammable liquids.

Thermostat:

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

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

Grill preparations:

Oil the grill slightly before the usage. This makes it more easy to turn the food. Then heat up the device for ca 10 min; the thermostat on maximum level. The food should be not frozen during grilling. Please use the appliance only with the drip tray.
Never cover the appliance with aluminium foil, because the heat cannot get away from the heating element.
Never cut on the grill surface because the coating can be damaged.
During grilling the glass lid can be closed or the glass lid can be used in an opened position as a windshield.
Careful!:
Steam from the food can emerge when the lid is opened. Danger of burns!

Some Tips for grilling

In the interest of your health:

• Minced meat must be processed immediately
• Separate roasted poultry from raw meat, do not eat raw meat and always grill until fully cooked.
• Cured meat and sausages should not be grilled too much.
• Starches (egg, bread, potatoes) must not be grilled too dark

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!
