• Do not use metal utensils on the heater
plaques since this may damage the non-
stick coating.
• When using the appliance, make sure
there is enough free space above and
beside the appliance to allow proper air
circulation. During use, do not let the
appliance come into contact with curtains,
painted paper, clothes, tea towels or other
flammable material.
• Note: when the appliance is to be used on
surfaces for which heat may be a problem,
we recommend that you use a heat-
insulating cushion.
4. BEFORE USING FOR
THE FIRST TIME
Before using for the first time, take a
moment to become familiar with your grill,
setting it to the different positions and
changing the plaques while still unplugged.
Clean the surfaces of the plaques with a
damp cloth and leave to dry.
Grease the plaques using salad oil.
1. OPENING THE GRILL AND SETTING
TO THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS
To open the grill, release the catch (f) on the
upper handle (e), removing it from its
housing to its intermediate position. (Fig. 2)
• Perpendicular plaques
With the grill closed and the catch in its
intermediate position, open the grill by
lifting the upper cover up as far as it
will go. (Fig. 3)
This working position is used when you
do not want the upper plaque to come
into contact with the food.
Adapts to the shape of the food
With the grill in the position described
above (perpendicular plaques), place
the food on the lower plaque and close
the grill by gently lowering the upper
cover until it rests on the food.
This position is used for grilling and
browning both sides of the food at the
same time.
• Parallel plaques
Open the grill by placing it in the
perpendicular plaque position, place
the food on the lower plaque and lift

the upper cover up as far as it will go,
before folding it down once again until
it rests firmly on its supports. The upper
plaque is thus suspended directly over
the lower one. (Fig. 4)
This position is used for au gratin
dishes, reheating and, in general, for
using the grill like a conventional oven.
• 180º open plaques
With the grill closed, lift the closing and
support catch (f), place in its vertical
position and lock in place by pressing
the plaque downwards.
Open the grill by placing the plaques in
their perpendicular position and then
pull the upper cover upwards as far as
it will go and then lift backwards until
the catch rests on the table or
worksurface.
To lock the catch in place, pull it up as
far as it will go, and place it in its
intermediate or closed position.
This position is used for grilling twice
the amount of food in one go, since
double the surface area is made
available. (Fig. 5)
5. OPERATION
• Place the grill on a flat, smooth, heat-
resistant surface, far from the edge of the
table or worksurface. Do not let the cable
hang over the edge of the table or
worksurface, nor pass under the grill.
• Plug the appliance in and select the
cooking temperature desired using the
temperature selector (c). This selector
has one off position (0) and 5 cooking
options to enable the user to choose the
correct temperature depending on the
type of food to be prepared.
• The appliance ON pilot light (b) switches on
when the appliance is plugged in and the
temperature selector is set to a position
between 1 and 5, and switches off when the
plaques have reached the selected
temperature. From this moment onwards,
the grill will switch on and off automatically in
order to maintain a constant temperature in
the plaques. The pilot light will also switch
on and off regularly.
