Use
CAUTION: Do not use this appliance to cook or defrost frozen food. All foods must be completely thawed before cooking them with this appliance.
NOTE – during the first minutes of operation (only upon first use), the appliance may release some smoke and odours, which soon disappear. Completely unwind the power cord.
Place the appliance on a flat horizontal surface, ensuring that the power cord is not stretched. Use the plate locking device to lock and/or unlock the plates. Lightly brush the surface of the plates with cooking oil. Close the appliance and connect it to the plug. Connect the power cord plug to the power socket. If using an extension, make sure that it is earthed and suitable for 6A. The on/off indicator light should switch on, indicating that the appliance is connected to the power socket and heating up.
WARNING: The non-stick plates and surfaces of the appliance may heat up during its operation. To prevent risk of burning, only touch the appliance using the handle. Allow the non-stick plates to preheat; the on/off indicator light switches off. Use the handle to raise the upper plate. Place the food on the lower plate, if necessary, using a heat-resistant wooden or plastic utensil.
CAUTION: Do not use metal utensils on the non-stick plates, as they could damage the non-stick coating irreparably.
Lower the upper plate using the handle. While the appliance is being used, the on/off indicator light switches off and on, which is normal, indicating that the cooking temperature is maintained. To release the non-stick plates, slide the locking button. To reinsert the plates, slot the plates into the rear fixtures and press next to the locking buttons until the plates are fixed.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Turn off the appliance by removing the power cord plug from the power socket and allow it to cool.
When it is completely cold:
Remove the plates and wash them by hand with hot water and a non-abrasive detergent. Do not use abrasive utensils or sponges, so as not to damage the non-stick coating. If necessary, leave the plates to soak for a few hours. Wash and clean with a soft and dry cloth. Do not place the plates in the washing-up machine. Clean the exterior parts of the appliance with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. After cleaning, close the appliance, locking the handle lock. The appliance can be stored vertically.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

This symbol indicates the separate collection of electrical and electronic equipment. The main objective of the separate collection of this waste is to reduce the quantity to be disposed of and promote re-use, recycling, and other forms of recovery in order to reduce its negative effects on the environment. When it is no longer in use, this appliance must not be disposed of together with other unsorted municipal waste. The user is responsible for delivering it free of charge to the selective collection facilities available for that purpose. Pieces of equipment that are no longer in use can also be taken back at points of sale, by purchasing new pieces of equipment that are equivalent and have the same functions. For more detailed information on collection points, please contact your City Council or a point of sale for this equipment.
