the connection on the grill plate.
Heating-up for the fi rst time
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power outlet.
∙ Let the grill heat up without any food for
about 10 minutes, with the hood closed,
at maximum power. This will remove the
smell typically encountered when fi rst
switching on a grill. A little smoke may be
emitted; this is quite normal, but ensure
there is adequate ventilation by opening
windows or balcony doors.
∙ Clean the grill plate as described in the
Cleaning and care section.
Thermometer
The thermometer in the hood shows guide
values for cooking chamber temperature.
The sectors ROAST and HOT are suitable
for grilling and cooking food.
The sectors WARM and DEFROST are
suitable for keeping food warm.
Grilling
∙ Check that the barbecue grill has been
correctly assembled and is standing
securely.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power outlet.
∙ Turn the thermostat control knob to
position 10. The indicator light comes on,
and the grill plate heats up.
∙ Once the temperature is high enough,
open the hood and put the food on.
∙ Grilling is possible with the hood
open or closed. With it closed, higher
temperatures are reached and – because
of an effect similar to a baking oven –
14
indirect grilling takes place.
∙ The temperature can be adjusted
as necessary, up or down, with the
temperature control.
Once the grilling process is fi nished:
∙ Turn the thermostat control knob back to
position 1.
∙ Remove the plug from the power outlet
fi rst, and then disconnect the thermostat
plug. Replace the rubber cap on the
thermostat plug.
∙ Allow the grill to cool down.
Cleaning and care
∙ Ensure that the grill is thoroughly cleaned
after use.
∙ Before cleaning, disconnect the
appliance from the mains fi rst, then
remove the thermostat plug and let the
grill cool down.
∙ Do not use metallic pads or abrasive
cleaning agents.
∙ Take off the grill plate and clean it in
warm soapy water. To remove persistent
food residues, it can be left soaking
for a while (but keeping the thermostat
connection as dry as possible). The
grill-plate and especially the thermostat
connection must be thoroughly dried.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the power cord or thermostat plug
with any liquid and do not immerse them.
The thermostat connection may be wiped
with a slightly damp lint-free cloth.
∙ The hood and other parts can be cleaned
with a cloth soaked in soapy water,
and should be wiped completely dry
afterwards.
