WARNING: NEVER COVER THE GRILL RACK WITH ALUMINIUM FOIL, ANY KIND OF KITCHENWARE ETC. ALWAYS FILL THE TRAY WITH WATER BEFORE YOU SWITCH ON THE APPLIANCE. THE WATER LEVEL SHOULD PREFERABLY BE KEPT BETWEEN THE MIN AND THE MAX WATER LEVEL MARKS.
When the water level drops under the min level mark, refill the tray with
water up to the max level. Take care not to pour water on the heating element.
The housing and the heating element get very hot in use. Be careful not to
touch them while the appliance is in use or until fully cool (danger of
burns)! When using the barbecue grill with a stand, take care that the
appliance stands stable and safe. When using the appliance as a table grill,
be careful not to position it right against a wall or in a corner. It is
important that the barbecue grill is always supervised while it is in use. Do
not store the barbecue grill outdoors to avoid damage through bad weather.
Make sure that no inflammable materials are adjacent to the grill. Set up the

appliance of water and allow it to cool before storing.
Always switch off and disconnect the barbecue grill from the mains supply

This barbecue grill is not intended for use with charcoal. All repairs of electrical appliances should only be performed by suitably qualified persons only. If the BBQ Grill is operated in any manner other than described in these instructions for use no liability will be undertaken for possible damage.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Clean the BBQ Grill and its accessories. When it is first switched on the grill may emit a slight odour and a small amount of smoke may also be noticeable. We, therefore, recommend you to heat up the barbecue grill for about 5 minutes without any foodstuffs.
HOW TO USE YOUR BARBECUE GRILL
Fill the tray with approx. 2L of water making sure to stay between the Min &
Max fill lines. Connect the BBQ Grill to the mains supply socket and turn the
thermostat dial to the highest setting (Max) and the pilot light will come on.
Preheat for about 5 minutes before use. When grilling delicate foodstuffs or
for keeping food warm you can turn the thermostat back to a lower position.
NOTE: THE APPLIANCE HAS A MICRO-SWITCH, IF YOU REMOVE THE HEATING ELEMENT
FROM THE APPLIANCE IT WILL TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY.
The water in the tray will evaporate during use. It is, therefore, necessary
to fill up with water from time to time. Be careful not to pour water on the
heating element. When grilling is finished, turn the thermostat to the “min”
position and disconnect the grill from the main supply socket.
Cleaning and Care
Before cleaning your barbecue grill, always make sure that the plug has been removed from the main supply socket. Allow the grill to cool down thoroughly before cleaning. Never switch the heating element on when it is not fitted into place on the base. Never immerse the heating element or plug in water. Clean the heating element with a clean and dry cloth only. Clean the grill rack and the tray with warm soapy water and dry afterwards. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or a metal sponge to clean the tray.
