Heating element
The junction box contains a safety switch.
Place the heating element into the grill pan.
The safety switch is activated automatically
when the heating element has been properly
fi tted. If not fi tted correctly, the appliance can
not be switched on.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ Remove any packaging materials from
the appliance.
∙ Clean the grill plate/rack and grill pan with
warm soapy water.
∙ Grill assembly:
∙ Place the heating element into the grill
pan.
∙ Fit the grill plate/rack on top.
∙ If required, additional accessories may be
fi tted according to the diagram.
∙ Fill the grill pan with water up to the 'Max'
marking.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power-outlet.
∙ Let the grill heat up for approximately 10
minutes without any food on the grill. This
will lessen the smell typically encountered
when fi rst switching on a new grill (a slight
smell and a little smoke may be emitted).
Grilling
∙ The grill pan must be fi lled with water up
to the 'Max' marking.
∙ Fit the heating element; then ensure that
the grill plate is placed correctly onto the
element.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power-outlet.
∙ Turn the thermostat control knob
clockwise all the way. The indicator light
comes on, and the heating element is
permanently switched on.
∙ After approximately 10 minutes, the heating
element reaches the right temperature for
grilling.
∙ The grill can also be used to keep the
food warm: by turning the thermostat
control back, the intervals between the
heating element switching on and off can
be reduced to a minimum.
∙ Caution: To prevent a possible build-
up of heat and subsequent damage to
the appliance, the food to be cooked
must be placed directly onto the grill
plate/rack. Do not place any objects
(e.g. aluminium foil, barbecue plates or
other items) between the food and the
heating element.
∙ As the water in the grill pan evaporates
during grilling, it must be topped up in
good time. When adding water, ensure
that the water does not come into contact
with the heating element. Caution:
