4. Open the appliance.
5. Wipe the hotplates with a damp cloth.
6. Close the appliance.
7. Insert the power cable plug into a properly connected and earthed mains power socket which supplies the voltage stated in the "Technical data" section. Allow the appliance to heat up for about 5 minutes on the maximum temperature setting by turning the heat level control to MAX.
8. NOTE: The first time the appliance heats up, a small amount of smoke and odour may be generated due to production-related residue. This is normal and is completely harmless. Ensure sufficient ventilation; for example, by opening a window.
9. After heating, pull the plug out of the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down completely.
10. Clean the appliance again with a damp cloth.

Heat level control

The temperature is set using the heat level control, from Min to Max.

MIN | MAX | OFF

NOTE: As soon as you set the heat level control to the desired position, the green control lamp "Ready" goes out until the temperature has been reached.

The green control lamp "Ready" may switch off again in the interim. This indicates that the temperature has fallen below the set temperature and the appliance is heating up again.

The red control lamp "Power" lights up as soon as the appliance is connected to the mains.

Operation

1. Close the appliance lid using the handle.
2. Slide the fat collector tray into the appliance.
3. Replace the plug in the mains power socket. The red control lamp "Power" lights up.
4. Set the desired level on the heat level control. The green control lamp "Ready" comes on as soon as the set heating level is reached.

NOTE: As soon as you set the heat level control to the desired position, the green control lamp "Ready" goes out until the temperature has been reached.

The green control lamp "Ready" may switch off again in the interim. This indicates that the temperature has fallen below the set temperature and the appliance is heating up again.

Ways to use the grill:

• Fully open so that both hotplates can be used as a table grill.
• With the upper hotplate as a contact grill so that, for instance, meat is grilled from both sides.

NOTE: If you are grilling food where liquids such as fat escape, fold out the stand extensions. Due to the slight inclination of the lower hotplate, liquids flow better in the direction of the fat outlet into the fat collector tray.

"Table grill" position

1. Fold out both support feet.
2. Push the unlocking button 180° and open the appliance lid until both hotplates can be used as a table grill.
3. The hotplates are now positioned next to each other and can be used as a table grill.
4. Place the food to be grilled onto the hotplates.
5. Turn the food to be grilled from time to time and remove it from the hotplates once it is cooked.

CAUTION! Damage to the appliance!

Do not use pointed or sharp objects to turn or remove the grilled food. These could damage the surfaces of the hotplates!

1. Turn the heat level control to OFF and remove the plug from the mains power socket.

CAUTION!

Always remove the plug from the mains power socket when the appliance is not in use. It is not sufficient to simply set the heat level control to OFF!

Tips and Tricks

• To make meat more tender and speed up the grilling process, marinate it beforehand. An ideal basis for this can be sour cream, red wine, vinegar, buttermilk or fresh papaya or pineapple juice, for example. Add herbs and spices according to taste. Do not add salt as this can draw water out of the meat and make it dry. Place the meat in the marinade so that it is completely covered and close the container. Ideally, leave it overnight.
• The hotplates have a nonstick coating, therefore extra fat is not necessary. If you still wish to use fat, please ensure that the fat/oil is suitable for grillroasting, e.g. rapeseed oil.
• If you are not sure whether the grilled food is cooked all the way through, you can use a commercially available meat thermometer.
