Before first use
1 Remove any stickers and wipe the body of the appliance with a damp cloth.
2 Clean the appliance and the plate thoroughly (see chapter 'Cleaning').
B
The appliance may produce some smoke when you use it for the first time. This is normal.
Using the appliance
1 Place the drip tray in the base (fig. 2).
2 Fill the drip tray with enough water to cover the bottom (fig. 3).
- The water in the drip tray will take away smoke and nasty smells, as it prevents food particles
from getting burnt.
- To make cleaning easier, you can line the drip tray with aluminium foil before filling it with
water.
- When lining the drip tray, make sure the foil does not hang over the sides of the tray, as this will
prevent proper air circulation.
3 Place the grilling plate in the base (fig. 4).
The grilling plate only fits in the base in one way.
4 Place the safety shield on the appliance (fig. 5).
The slots in the safety shield must fit securely on the pins of the grilling plate.
The safety shield prevents grease from spattering onto the surrounding surface (e.g. a worktop).
5 Lightly grease the grilling plate with butter or oil.
6 Insert the thermostat unit into the thermostat unit socket in the side of the appliance (fig. 6).
7 Turn the temperature control to the position appropriate for the ingredients to be grilled
(see section 'Grilling times' in this chapter).
The temperature light goes on.
8 Place the ingredients on the grilling plate when the temperature light goes out.
Be careful: the grilling plate is hot!
B
During the grilling process, the temperature light comes on and goes out from time to time as an
indication that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature.
9 Turn the food from time to time by means of a wooden or plastic spatula or tongs.
10 Remove the food when it is done.
Use a wooden or plastic spatula or tongs to remove the food from the appliance. Do not use
metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils.
11 For optimal results, remove excess oil from the plate with a piece of kitchen paper before
grilling the next batch of food.
12 To continue grilling, place the next batch of food on the grilling plate when the temperature
light goes out.
Grilling times
In the table at the end of these instructions for use you will find some types of food you can cook
on this table grill. The table shows which temperature to select, how long the food should be grilled
and which part of the grilling plate to use: the grill section or the hotplate section. The time required
to preheat the appliance has not been included in the grilling times indicated in the table. The grilling
time and temperature depend on the type of food that is being prepared (e.g. meat), its thickness
and its temperature and, of course, also on your own taste. You can also refer to the indications on
the base of the table grill.
