Operating positions
The different operating positions can be
selected by means of the adjusting lever on
the right-hand side:
BBQ MODE: With the lever held in this
position, the upper grill element can be
opened completely for BBQ-style grilling,
and also for thorough cleaning (see Locking
the upper grill element).
OPEN: The appliance can be fully opened.
LOCK: The upper grill plate is locked in
place and the appliance can be moved after
a suffi cient cooling-down period.
LOW – HIGH: The height of the upper grill
element can be adjusted to fi ve different
heights for contact grilling or cooking 'au
gratin', depending on the thickness of the
food to be cooked.
Locking the upper grill element
When opening the upper grill element into
the barbecue-/cleaning position, it must be
locked: put the lever fi rst into the OPEN
position and push the handle lightly down;
in that way, the upper grill element will be
locked by the pin. Now put the lever to the
BBQ MODE position, when the appliance
can be opened.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ Clean the grill plates with a damp, lint-free
cloth and wipe dry afterwards.
∙ Close the unit.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet,
and use the On/Off switch to turn the
appliance on. Set the temperature control
to its MAX position.
∙ Let the grill heat up for about 15 minutes
without any food. 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 suffi cient ventilation.)
∙ Let the appliance cool down.
∙ Clean the grill plates again with a damp,
lint-free cloth and wipe dry afterwards.
Operation
∙ Set the appliance up in the desired
operating position.
Contact grilling (LOW – HIGH)
E.g. cutlet or escalope, fried sausage,
sandwich, panini etc.:
adjust the upper grill element to the
thickness of the food to be grilled. The
upper grill element should be in level
contact with the food but should not press
down on it.
Cooking 'au gratin' (HIGH)
E.g. toasted dishes:
use the adjusting lever to bring the upper
grill element to its highest (and horizontal)
position.
Barbecue-type grilling (BBQ MODE)
E.g. steak, cutlet or escalope, fried
sausage:
put the lever fi rst to the OPEN position
and push the handle down lightly; in that
way, the upper grill element will be locked.
Now open the upper grill element slightly,
put the lever to the BBQ MODE position,
hold the lever and open the appliance
fully.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet,
and use the On/Off switch to turn the
appliance on.
∙ Ensure that the fat collection tray is in
place; always empty it in good time
during operation.
∙ Use the temperature control to choose the
desired temperature level.
