IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces: Use handles or dials.
Before using this appliance, move it two to four inches away from the wall or any object on the counter top. Remove any object that may have been placed on top of the appliance. Do not use on surfaces where heat may cause a problem.
To protect against electrical shock, do not place electrical equipment in water. See instructions for cleaning.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Always turn the unit OFF before unplugging. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunc-tions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Keep loose clothing, curtains, furniture and flammable material etc. away from the wall outlet where the unit is plugged in.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

24. Remember to check periodically the water level and to fill to the recommended level.
Do not use charcoal, lighter fluids or gages in combination with this grill.

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fully fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat the safety feature.

WARNING: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding-type cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 – WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arran-ged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

INSTALLATION

Before using, check that the appliance has not been damaged during transport.
Install the appliance on a flat surface, and out of the reach of children, as some parts of the appliance reach very high temperatures during operation.
Before inserting the plug in the outlet, check that:
- the power of the outlet corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate applied to the accessory plug .
- the outlet has a minimum rating of 15 A.
- the outlet is suitable for the plug, otherwise, replace it.
- the outlet is suitably grounded.
- the manufacturer declines all liability if this instruction is not respected.

OPERATION

Before using the appliance, remember to pour some water in the grill base. Do not exceed the max. recommended level. Insert the accessory plug in the relative housing. Ensure that the accessory plug is fully inserted, otherwise, the appliance will not work. Insert the plug in the outlet, the indicator light on the accessory plug will turn on to indicate that the heating ele-ment is in operation. For first use, operate the appliance for at least 5 minutes and air the room, in order to eliminate the “new smell”.

ATTENTION: remember to check periodically the water level in the grill base and to fill it to the recommended level.

ADJUSTABLE THERMOSTAT

The adjustable thermostat features 4 postions: OFF, MIN, MED, MAX.

Pos. OFF: appliance off
Pos. MIN: to keep food warm
Pos. MED: for slow cooking
Pos. MAX: for rapid cooking (maintaining the ideal consistency of the food).

AROMA SCENTER

Install the aroma scenter in the relative housing, situated on the base of the grill body. Place the herbs and spices of your choice in the aroma center along with water. Fit the cooking grill, making sure the 2 heating elements are properly inserted in the aroma scenter. On completion of the grilling, place the thermostat in pos. OFF, then remove the plug from the outlet and the accessory plug from its housing.

USING THE AROMA SCENTER

This accessory allows flavors to be added to the food. Following are some tips on how to use this accessory:

Pour half a cup of water in the diffuser.
Add the following herbs and spices to the water to obtain the desired flavor:
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemongrass
- 2 tablespoons rosemary

TIPS FOR IDEAL GRILLING

Follow these tips for ideal grilling:
Only use silicon or wood utensils, as metal may ruin the non-stick surface of the grill.
Preheat the grill for 10 minutes.
Marinate the meat before grilling, to make it tender and tasty.
Before grilling vegetables, fish or meat on the bone, grease the grill with oil. If grilling fatty meats, or if the meat has been marinated, the grill does not need to be greased.
Turn the food at least once during cooking, if not otherwise specified.
In the last 6-10 minutes of cooking, if desired, brush the food with barbecue sauce or other types of sauce.
When cooking fatty meats like beef, pork, sausages or chicken with the skin, always use the lid.
When grilling fish, for best results use a wide and flat spatula or kitchen tongs to turn it over more easily.
