Environmental protection and saving energy

Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

  • Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy. Stop preheating the appliance once it reaches the required temperature.

  • An extended preheating time increases the energy consumption.
  • When preparing small amounts of food, switch on the front or rear grill element only.
  • You will waste energy if you turn on the grill elements unnecessarily.

Turn down to a lower power level early on.

  • Using a grill setting that is too high wastes energy. Select an appropriate ongoing grill setting.
  • You will waste energy if you select an ongoing grill setting that is too high.
  • Take advantage of the grill’s residual heat. If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 5 to 10 minutes before the cooking time ends.
  • Failing to make the most of any residual heat leads to increased energy consumption.

Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your appliance.

Automatic switch-off
For your safety, the appliance has a safety shut-off function. Any heating process is switched off after 4 hours if the appliance controls are not used during this time. The heating element also remains switched off after a power cut. The illuminated ring on the control knob flashes white and orange alternately.

Before using it for the first time

Clean the appliance and accessories.

Preparing the appliance
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns! The appliance parts become hot during operation.

  • Only operate the grill when the frame and wire rack are inserted correctly.
  1. Correctly insert the lava stone tray.FISHER-PAYKEL-DD24DCTX9-N-Double-Dishwasher-User-Guide-fig-4
    • The recesses in the lava stone tray correspond to the recesses in the base of the appliance.
  2. Remove the lava stones from the film and place them in the lava stone tray.FISHER-PAYKEL-DD24DCTX9-N-Double-Dishwasher-User-Guide-fig-5
  3. Fold both grill elements downwards.
    • Ensure that the grill elements are lying flat.FISHER-PAYKEL-DD24DCTX9-N-Double-Dishwasher-User-Guide-fig-6
  4. Put the wire rack in place.
    • Position the wire rack so that the feet of the wire rack fit into the recesses in the lava stone tray.
    • Ensure that the wire rack is lying flat.
  5. Put the frame down flat.
    • Ensure that the frame is lying flat and that the distance between the frame and the wire rack is the same all around.
Heating up the appliance
  • Heat the grill for a few minutes at grill setting 9. Smoke development and odour development are normal.
  • Ventilate the installation room well.
    • This eliminates the new appliance smell and any contamination.

Basic operation

Switching on the appliance

The two grill elements can be controlled separately. You can grill foods that require different temperatures at the same time. You can connect the two grill elements and set the same grill setting for grill elements.

  1. Only use the surface of the wire rack for grilling. The frame is cooler than the wire rack.
  2. Push in the control knob and turn it to the required grill setting.

If required, only switch on the front or rear grill element. At grill setting 9, the preheating phase takes approximately 10 minutes.

  • The illuminated ring lights up white.
  • The illuminated ring dims from white to orange while the appliance is heating up.
  • A signal tone sounds once the set temperature is reached.
Switching off the appliance

WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
The appliance remains hot for a long time after it is switched off.

  • Do not touch the appliance while the residual heat indicator is lit.
  • Turn the control knob to 0.
Connecting grill elements

You can control the two grill elements at the same time using a control knob.

  1. Push in any control knob and turn it to ⁠ ⁠.
    • Turn the other control knob to the required grill setting.
    • At grill setting 9, the preheating phase takes approximately 10 minutes.
    • This grill set is applied for both grill elements.
    • The illuminated ring lights up white.
    • The illuminated ring dims from white to orange while the appliance is heating up.
    • A signal tone sounds once the set temperature is reached.
  2. Only put the food on the grill once preheating is complete.
Disconnecting grill elements
  • Turn the control knob from to any grill setting.
    • The grill elements can again be controlled individually.

Switching on the appliance again after the automatic safety switch-off

  1. Turn the control knob to 0.
  2. Switch the appliance back on again as usual.

How it works

You can find the right settings for different food here as well as helpful comments. We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to your appliance.

Tips for boiling and frying

WARNING ‒ Risk of harm to health!
When grilling cured food, this may result in harmful compounds.

  • Do not grill cured meat such as ham and smoked pork chops.
  • Preheat the appliance to the required temperature.
  • The illuminated ring lights up white. The illuminated ring dims from white to orange while the appliance is heating up. A signal tone sounds once the set temperature is reached.
  • Always preheat the appliance. The intense heat radiation enables a crust to form quickly and the meat juice can no longer escape.
  • Before grilling, you can coat or marinate the food in heat-resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil). This improves the flavour. Take care not to use too much oil or marinade, otherwise this may cause flames to form or generate lots of smoke.
  • Do not add salt to the meat until after it has been grilled. Otherwise, soluble nutrients and meat juice may escape.
  • Place the food directly on the wire rack. Do not use aluminium foil or grill trays.
  • Only turn the items on the grill over when they lift offthe wire rack easily. If the meat sticks to the grill, the fibres will be destroyed and meat juice will escape.
  • Do not pierce the meat while grilling it, otherwise meat juice may escape.
  • Score chops on the bones and in fatty layers several times so that they do not curl up.
  • Remove fatty layers after grilling rather than before, otherwise the meat will lose juice and flavour.
  • Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste it towards the end of the grilling time with butter, salted water or orange juice.
  • After grilling, you can season fruit to taste with honey, maple syrup or lemon juice.
  • You can parboil vegetables that take a long time to cook (e.g. corn on the cob, potatoes) before placing them on the grill.
  • Grill fish fillets on the skin side first. Coat the skin with oil or dust with flour to prevent it from sticking to the wire rack.
  • Serve grilled food hot. Do not keep grilled food warm, or it will go tough.
Recommended settings

The setting values are only intended as a guideline because more or less heat will be required depending on the type and condition of the food.
