Setting up

1. When using the appliance for the first time, clean all accessories as described in the section Cleaning .

2. Set up the housing 4 in accordance with the safety instructions .

3. Place the drip tray 3 into the housing 4 so that the recess in the edge faces towards the front (see fold-out page) .

4. Fill the drip tray 3 with approx. . 1 litre of cold water up to the MAX mark .

   NOTE

6. Place the cooking grill 1 on the housing 4 so that the four feet are in the respective cooking grid fixtures 5 . You can choose between two settings:
   – If your food is to be cooked quickly at a high temperature, place the cooking grill 1 in the deeper left half of the fixtures 5 . This setting is particularly suitable for thin foods, such as shrimps or thin steak, and for searing meat .
   – Place the cooking grill 1 in the right, higher halves if your food is to be cooked slowly or kept warm . This setting is recommended for grilling sensitive foods such as vegetables or fish or for thicker foods .
   NOTE
   ► In general, thin foods should be cooked hot and quickly . The thicker the food, the more gently and slowly it should be grilled so that it does not burn on the outside and is evenly cooked through .

7. Plug the mains plug into an easily accessible mains socket .

8. For first use only: Turn the heat level control 6 to MAX and let the appliance heat up for approx. . 15 minutes without food . The operating light 7 lights up to show that the appliance is heating up .

NOTE

► The operating light 7 may switch on and off several times during this process . This is not a malfunction of the appliance! It merely indicates that the appliance is maintaining the temperature .
► The thermostat only operates from the beginning of the temperature setting scale . Depending on the room temperature, heating up will start at different positions on the scale .
► When the appliance is heated up for the first time, the protective layer on the heating element 2 burns off . You may notice a small amount of smoke and a slight smell . This is normal and dissipates after a short time . Ensure that there is adequate ventilation . For example, open a window .
The appliance is now ready for use .

3. After preheating, set the heat level control 6 for the desired use:
   – Choose a high or the highest setting for cooking thin grill food or for searing meat . Grill it for a few minutes at maximum temperature on both sides and then adjust the heat to a lower setting to ensure gentle cooking .
   – Choose a medium or low setting for gentle further cooking of the food or for slow cooking delicate foods such as vegetables or fish .
   – To keep ready-cooked food warm, select a low temperature setting right at the beginning of the scale .
   NOTE
