is activated automatically when the heating
element has been properly fi tted. If not fi tted
correctly, the appliance can not be switched
on.
Before using for the fi rst time
– Remove any packaging materials from the
appliance.
– Clean the grill rack and grill pan with
warm soapy water; dry thoroughly
aft erwards.
– Assemble the grill as described above.
– Fill the grill pan with water up to the 'Max'
marking.
– Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power-outlet.
– Let the grill heat up for approximately 5
minutes without any food on the rack. Th is
will lessen the smell typically encountered
when fi rst switching on a new grill (a
slight smell and a little smoke may be
emitted - ensure suffi cient ventilation).
Grilling
– Th e grill pan must be fi lled with water up
to the 'Max' marking.
– Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power-outlet.
– Set the thermostat control knob to
its 'Max' position. Th e indicator light
comes on, and the heating element is
permanently switched on.
– Aft er approximately 5 minutes, the heating
element reaches the right temperature for
grilling.
– Th ermostat-controlled grill models can
also be used to keep the food warm by
turning the thermostat control down.
Caution: to prevent a possible build-up
of heat and subsequent damage to the
appliance, the food to be cooked must be
placed directly onto the grill rack. Do not
place any objects (e.g. aluminium foil,
barbecue plates or other items) between the
food and the heating element.
As the water in the grill pan evaporates
during grilling, it must be topped up in good
time. When adding water, ensure that the
water does not come into contact with the
heating element; always remove the plug
from the socket fi rst.
Once the grilling process is fi nished:
– Set the thermostat control knob back to
'' .
– Remove the plug from the power outlet
and allow the grill to cool down.
General care and cleaning
– Ensure that the grill is thoroughly cleaned
aft er use.
 Before cleaning the grill, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has completely cooled down.
 Do not use metallic pads or abrasive
cleaning agents.
– Remove the grill rack and clean it with
warm soapy water. To remove persistent
food residues, it can be left soaking for
a while. Do not put the rack into a dish
washer.
 Th e heating element can be removed for
cleaning. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not clean the heating element
with water and do not immerse it in water.
Th e junction box may be wiped with a
slightly damp lint-free cloth.
– All other parts can be cleaned with a cloth
soaked in soapy water, and should be
wiped completely dry aft erwards.
– For grill models with an aluminium
grill pan, please note that the pan will
discolour aft er several cycles of use. Th is
is normal and does not impair the safe
function of the grill.
Storage
Aft er cleaning, the grill should be stored
indoors in a dry location.
