Instructions for the user

9. Using the volcanic rock grill

During normal operations, the appliance heats up considerably. Caution should therefore be used.
Do not allow children to approach the appliance. Do not leave the grill unattended while it is on.
The volcanic rock grill has a consumption of 2500W. This appliance must therefore be installed
where this power consumption can be ensured in total safety.
Before using the hob burners, always remove the safety cover A from its seat (only available on
some models), to prevent the steel blackening irreversibly over time. The function of this cover is
not to cover food while cooking. If the hob burners are already switched on: remove and
handle the cover while wearing oven gloves.
9.1

Before switching on the grill

The first time it is used, the grill may develop an acrid or burnt smell caused by oily residue from
manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. To eliminate this problem, clean
all its components beforehand as described in section " 14.10 Cleaning the volcanic rock grill".
9.2

Switching on

Proceed as follows:
Remove the cast iron grill very carefully to
•
avoid breaking it;
lift the heating element upwards and lock it,
•
by moving the lock system S towards the left
as shown in the figure;
fill the safety vat with the volcanic rock, taking
•
care to evenly cover the whole surface, so
that it does not go over the edge.
Water (up to 2 litres) can be used in the safety vat instead of volcanic rock. It is advisable to use
water when cooking very fatty meat (e.g. sausage, bacon, etc.), as the meat juices will melt
instantaneously in the water. This method prevents excessive smoke and simplifies the cleaning
operations described in section 14.10.
The heating element should never be switched on unless the safety vat contains the volcanic rock
or water as specified above.
Release the lock system S and lower the
•
heating element;
reposition the cast iron grill over the heating
•
element as shown in the figure.
The cast iron grill ensures adequate heat
distribution.
The appliance is ready to be switched on.
•
Before use, preheat the cast iron grill for 5 or 10 minutes by turning the energy regulator knob to
the maximum setting (11). The green light signals the appliance is working.
Now turn the energy regulator knob to the required setting (see section " 9.3 Energy regulator
•
table"). Place the food on the cast iron grill and cook as required.
