Before First Use
Take the appliance and accessories out of the box. Remove the stickers, protective foil, or plastic from the device.
Clean the appliance with a damp cloth before use.
When using the appliance for the first time, it may smell and emit some smoke. This is normal; it is the grease that may have adhered to the element during manufacture burning off.
Assembly
Use the supplied screws to fix the heating element support on the base.
Fasten the plastic feet under the base.
Put the oil drip pan in the base. The three holes in the oil drip pan should align with the three supports in the base.
After this, the heating element can be placed into the heating element support.
Place the grill rack on the base.
Use
Make sure you place a heat-resistant coating under the appliance to prevent traces due to heat and grease stains on your table.
Fill the grease tray with water, ensuring the water level remains below the element.
During use, the water will evaporate and should be refilled. Note: make sure you do not drip water onto the element.
Warning! Use the appliance only with water in the grease tray. Without water in this tray, the device will overheat!
Always make sure that the water level is between the minimum mark (0.3 litres) and the maximum mark (0.8 litres) on the water level indicator.
The water also reduces smoke and facilitates cleaning.
Put the plug in an earthed power outlet.
Allow the device to preheat for about 5 minutes.
After using the grill, disconnect the grill from the mains power supply.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always unplug the device and let it cool down completely before cleaning.
Detach the grill rack including the heating element.
Remove and empty the fat collecting tray after each use and wash the tray in warm, soapy water.
Never use abrasive cleaners, metal brushes, or paint thinner to clean the base, otherwise the barbecue will be damaged.
Never immerse the device under water; the device and the various parts are not dishwasher-proof.
