• Switch on the appliance and adjust the temperature by turning the button on the right in a
clockwise direction.
• When the green light switches on, arrange the food on the plates.
• Use the timer (left-hand button) to select cooking time.
WARNING: The timer does not have an automatic shut off device for the appliance.
E. DRIP TRAY
At the bottom of the appliance there is a slot for the drip tray. Fats and juices from cooking the
foods flow over the plates and are collected in the drip tray.
• Slide the tray into position or to remove.
• Wait for the appliance to cool before emptying the tray.
• The drip tray can be washed in the dishwasher.
CAUTION: Every time before using, check that no grease has accumulated in the drip tray. Always
remove excess grease to prevent fire and serious injury or material damage.
The fat collected is not fit for consumption.
5. ADVICE FROM THE CHEFS
• To preserve the non-stick nature of the cooking plates, do not allow them to heat up too long
without food on them and do not wash the plates with abrasives.
• Use wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils to turn food over and avoid scratching the surface.
• Cut your food into equal size pieces to ensure even cooking.
• With practice, you will become familiar with cooking times and the necessary adjustment to
cook the food to your taste.
• Prepare spice- or condiment-based marinades for meats or fish, grilled food will be tasty and
food cooked on the barbecue more tender.
• If you have grilled fish and shellfish on the plates, rub the plates with a cloth soaked in lemon
juice. This will prevent the characteristic odour from remaining for the next dish.
6. CLEANING AND STORAGE
• After use, turn the knob to "O" and unplug the appliance. Allow to cool completely (at least a 1⁄2
hour) before cleaning.
• Use the spatula to remove any food residue that remains on the cooking plates.
• Empty the grease tray.
• Remove the plates from the unit by pressing the release buttons.
• The cleaning/scraping tool, the drip tray and the plates can be washed in hot soapy water or in
the dishwasher.
• Do not use metal objects like knives and forks, or abrasive sponges or products that could
damage the coating.
• Use a damp cloth and a little soft detergent to clean the body of the appliance, the lid and the
handle. Never use abrasive sponges or products.
