fectly into the slots inside the appliance. Move the grill plates back together by turning the plate opening
dial (5) anticlockwise.
- Adjust the distance between the plates (13) according to the food being cooked by turning the dial (5) (Fig. 2).
WARNING: To prevent smoke from forming, never place the heating elements up against the grill rack when
this contains food to be cooked.
This system of moving the sides closer together or further apart offers the following benefits when it comes
to cooking:
- it adapts to food thickness and keeps the heating elements at the perfect distance;
- it is possible to move the heating elements closer to or further away from the food and therefore, to vary
cooking according to taste.
WARNING: Before cooking, make sure that the grill rack (16) has been correctly inserted into the appliance,
that the grill plate (13) is perfectly locked into place and the drip tray is in position.
- It is possible to check foods while they are cooking: after opening the plates with the dial (5) (Fig. 2), open the
right-hand plate by moving the plate rotation slider (14) upwards and then turning it downwards (fig. 4).
WARNING: Never force the other plate open.
WARNING: Never touch the heating elements (11) while the appliance is operating, as there is a serious risk
of burns.
The plate distance can also be regulated while the appliance is operating.
Only use the handle (12) to open the plate, as there is a serious risk of burns.
- Excess fat will drip onto the drip tray (3) inside the drawer (2) (Fig. 5) and away from the heating elements,
which means no smoke or unpleasant smells.
- When the food is cooked, switch off the appliance by turning the dial (4) to O. Unplug the appliance from the
mains power and remove the grill rack (16) by pulling it upwards after first opening the plates with the dial (5).
