■ USING THE APPLIANCE WITH THE LOWER HEATING
ELEMENT SWITCHED ON ADDITIONALLY
If you wish to use the bottom heat under the stainless steel plating as well, you can
additionally switch on the lower heating element. To do that, set the black switch
to „I“, the adjacent function light lights up and the lower heating element heats
up. The function light next to the switch lights up as long as the lower heating
element ist switched on.
The temperature of the lower heating element can not be adjusted.
CAUTION: The lower heating element can only be used in addition to the upper
heating element, not individually. When you switch the upper heating element off
with the red main switch, the lower heating element is switched off as well.
Thanks to the lower heating element, you can heat the foods in the pans on the
stainless steel plating from below. Like that, you can f.e. bake small pizzas or make
potato gratins resp. warm foods in the pans.
■ TIPS FOR PERFECT GRILLING:
• Both the square raclette pans and the round mini-woks can be placed on the
stainless steel plating.
• Always park the pans and plastic spatulas on the lower stainless steel plate, the
so-called cold zone, when taking a break from eating. If you leave the food-fil-
led pans on or in the hot appliance, the foods will burn in and the coating might
be damaged.
• Never turn the grill plate around while the appliance is hot. The grill plate is very
hot, you might burn yourself.
• Do not use any metal kitchen utensils or knives on the grill plate or in the pans,
they might damage the non-stick coating.
• Marinate or spice the meat before grilling but salt it only after you have taken
it from the grilling surface, otherwise the meat will lose too much of its juice.
• Bratwursts should be broached before grilling to prevent them from cracking.
• Ideally, take the grillables out of the freezer 30 minutes before grilling them.
They will grill faster and you prevent thicker pieces of meat from staying cold
inside.
■ GRILLING SURFACE WITH ROUND INSETS
You can also use the side of the grilling surface with the round insets.
It is especially suited to preparing foods in the round mini-woks or making crêpes
directly on the grilling surface.
■ SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE OFF
If you have additionally switched on the lower heating element, first set the black
switch to „0“. The function light next to the switch goes out.
Now, turn the temperature control to the lowest temperature (turn the knob all
the way to the left) and also set the red main switch to „0“. The red function light
in the switch goes out, as does the light surrounding of the temperature control.
Pull the plug and let the appliance cool down completely before cleaning it. We
recommend carefully cleaning the grill plate, the accessories and also the appliance
base after every use.
▲ CLEANING AND CARE
Check if the power cord has been removed from the appliance and if the grill plate
and stainless steel plating have cooled down completely.
If the grill plate and the pans are heavily dirty, you can soak them in lukewarm
water for some time or remove the dirt with a bit of oil and a paper towel. Under
no circumstances use abrasive cleaners or solvents or steel scourers.
Clean the grill plate, the pans and the plastic spatulas in hot water with a mild
detergent and a soft sponge or towel. After that, rinse and dry everything carefully.
The parts are not dishwasher safe.
The stainless steel plate can be cleaned with a wet towel and then dried.
Clean the appliance base with the stainless steel plating for the pans as well as the
power cord – in case should it be dirty – with a slightly wet towel. Never submerge
the appliance base, the power cord and the power plug resp. connection adapter
in water or other liquids and do not spray water or other liquids onto the appliance
parts. Risk of electric shock!
Do not use aggressive cleaners or solvents as well as abrasive materials for any of
the appliance parts. They might damage the surface.
Afterwards, reassemble the appliance.
