grill closed, leave it heat up to the end of preheating for approx. 5-7 minutes.

▪ Once it has heated up, the appliance is ready to be used. Open the contact grill 90° as far as it will
go, place the food to be cooked on the lower grill plate and close the contact grill.
Note: If the unit remains open for too long, the safety system will automatically switch the appli-
ance off.
When fresh food is placed on the grill plates for grilling, there may be signifi cant splashing of fat
and escaping water. To avoid injury and damage, never put your hands, arms or face over the grill
and never place delicate objects next to the appliance

▪ The desired degree of cooking (rare – medium – done) is reached as soon as the LED display glows
constantly white. Open the grill and remove the food when it is cooked to the required level.
▪ Note: Food should be no more than 4 cm thick. Meat should be cut into slices no more than 3.5 cm
thick. If the food is too thick, the safety system will prevent the appliance from operating.
▪ Note for when grilling very thin items: After you have closed the appliance, the OK button may
fl ash. In this case, press OK to start the cooking process.
▪ Note: Season meat before grilling, but do not add salt until afterwards so that it loses less of its
juices. Note: Pierce sausages before you grill them to prevent fat splashes. Halve sausages with a
diameter > 4 cm
▪ If no further food is going to be grilled, switch the grill off. To do this, press the On/Off icon (A)
and then confi rm with OK (E).
Grilling additional foods
Important: To grill additional foods, the grill must be reheated fi rst to ensure that the optimum
temperature is reached. This also applies if the same type of food (e.g. steak) is going to be cooked.
▪ Close the grill again. The display will switch on and be in programme selection mode.
▪ Select the programme, as described in section 5.
Note: If no programme is selected, the safety system will automatically switch off the grill.
