To prevent damage to the plates, only use them on the appliance for which they were designed (e.g., do not place in
an oven, on the gas ring or electric hot-plate, etc.).
Do not use aluminium foil or other objects between the plates and the food being cooked.
Do not place cooking utensils on the cooking surfaces of the appliance.
Do not touch the metal parts of the appliance when it is heating or operating, as they are very hot: use the handle
and wear oven gloves if necessary.
Do not move the appliance when in use.
• Do not remove the juice tray during cooking. At the end of cooking of each batch of meat, check that the juice has not
reached the MAX. level. If the MAX level is reached, wait for the appliance to cool down completely then empty the
juice tray before putting a new lot of meat onto the appliance.
• Do not handle the blocking button or the 2 unlocking buttons while the appliance is heating.
For the grill function
• Place the food on the lower grill plate.
• Close the appliance.
• Let the food cook according to the instructions in the cooking table.
• The space between the two grill plates is adjusted automatically (0 cm to 3,5 cm) depending on the thickness of the
food to be cooked - 8
When you cook meats containing bones, use the barbecue position to ensure the meat is cooked uniformly.
For the barbecue function
• Spread the food evenly on the two grill plates.
• When only one cooking surface is used, as a preference use the upper grill plate.
• Let the food cook according to the instructions in the cooking table.
After use
• Place the thermostat in the min. position.
• Unplug the appliance. Open the appliance.
• Let the appliance cool down (approximately 1 hour) in the open position.
• Empty the juice tray. Be careful not to move the appliance when the tray is full.
• Once cooled down, close the appliance.

• The juice tray and plates can go into the dishwasher or be cleaned with a sponge, hot water and washing up liquid.
• The appliance and its power supply cord must not be put in the dishwasher.
Do not place the hot plate under water or on a fragile surface.
Do not use metal scourers or scouring powders to avoid damaging the cooking surface (e.g.: non-stick coating, ...).
• If washed regularly in a dishwasher we recommend that the plates are seasoned by wiping with a little cooking oil from
time to time to maintain their non-stick performance.
• The heating coil is not to be cleaned. If it is really dirty, wait until it has cooled down and wipe with a dry cloth.
Over time the non-stick of the grill plates may discolour slightly - this is normal.
• Clean the juice collection pans after each use.
Do not immerse the appliance in water.
