Features

Non-stick coating
The grill plate features a superior 3-layer non-stick coating. This coating is very easy to clean and characterised by excellent non-stick qualities.

Never cut with a knife or a similar object on the grill plate.
Do not put aluminium trays or foil, pans, pots etc. on the grill plate.

**Grilling surface – turbo grilling zone

**

The appliance features 2 differently usable grilling zones:

ribbed grilling area with turbo grilling zone for typical grill marks. A second heating rod provides additional heat when switched on. Therefore, this area is especially suitable for searing your food.
flat Teppanyaki surface – perfect for fish, seafood, vegetables, desserts, etc.

Low-fat grilling

The grill plate has an integrated fat drain on the front side which lets excessive fat drain. Thus, food can be prepared in a low-fat and healthy way. Below the fat outlet there is a removable drip pan in which the drained fat collects.
NOTE: Never operate the appliance without drip pan.

Splash guard/wind shield

The appliance has a detachable splash guard/wind shield.
On the one hand, the splash guard/wind shield prevents the surrounding area from getting soiled by fat splatters; on the other hand it protects the grilling surface against unnecessary cooling by wind.

NOTE: Do not touch the splash guard/wind shield when hot!

Operating panel

(A) Temperature regulator

The temperature is infinitely variable.
Level 1 – 2 : low heat for keeping-warm
Level 2 – 3 : medium heat for cooking
Level 3 – 4: intense heat for searing, cooking and browning

By turning the temperature regulator to the right, the power/temperature is increased.
By turning the temperature regulator to the left, the power/temperature is decreased.

(B) Pilot lamp
The appliance features a pilot lamp. The alternating illumination and expiration during operation shows the thermostatic regulation.

NOTE: An expired lamp does not mean that the appliance is switched off!

(C) Push buton for turbo grilling zone
The additional heating rod of the turbo grilling zone is has a separate on/off switch and is thus independent of the normal temperature regulator.

For switching the turbo grilling zone on, press the push button. The pilot lamp integrated in the button illuminates.

Grilling tips

NOTE: Grilling periods and temperature settings depend heavily on the thickness of the food and especially on your own preferences.

Season the meat before grilling, salt it afterwards, otherwise, too much juice will be lost.
Sausages are slit before grilling so that they will not burst.
For being prepared on the open grill, meat should be cut in even slices with a thickness of 2-3 cm.
Meat tastes especially good if it is marinated for some time before being grilled.
If possible, the food should be taken out of the refrigerator 1/2 hour in advance. Then, it will be cooked more quickly and evenly.
Frozen food should be completely defrosted before grilling.
Choose the side dishes according to your personal taste and let your imagination run free. Delicate sauces, herbed butter, fried vegetables, fresh salads, potatoes en papillote and garlic bread taste especially good with barbecued food.
