Power rating
The appliance can consume 2000 W of power in total. At this power rating, we recommend a separate connection with fuse protection via a 16 A domestic circuit breaker.

3. Operate the appliance with the closed grill plates for about 10 minutes without any food (see “Operation”). To do so, turn the temperature regulator to the MAX position. NOTE:
   This process normally produces a small amount of smoke. Ensure adequate ventilation.

4. Disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket.

5. Let the appliance cool down completely.

6. Wipe the grill surfaces with a damp cloth. Your appliance is now ready to use.
