6. PRACTICAL ADVICE
• Do not use metal objects or sharp
utensils when handling food, since this
may damage the non-stick coating.
• Try to ensure that the food is cut up in
a uniform manner, in order to enable
proper cooking.
• If you want to leave grid-shaped marks
on the food, you should turn it half way
through the cooking process.
• As a general rule, we recommend that
you season fish before cooking, and
season meat afterwards.
• Clean the meat or fish with a damp cloth
and then dry well, otherwise the water
will have a negative effect on the heat
transfer process.
• We recommend that you grease the
plaques with a little margarine or salad
oil.
5. OPERATION
• Place the grill on a flat, smooth,
heatresistant 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).
• 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.
• Once the plaques have reached the
selected temperature, choose the
required working position in accordance
with that described in the section above
and place the food on them.
WARNING: USE ONLY THE HANDLES
PROVIDED TO MOVE THE GRILL. DO
NOT TOUCH THE APPLIANCE WHILE IT
IS SWITCHED ON, SINCE THERE IS A
RISK OF BURNS.
• Cooking time may vary depending both
on the type of food and personal taste.
For this reason, we recommend that
initially, you monitor the cooking process
closely in order to establish your own set
of cooking times.
• Some internal parts of the grill have
been lightly greased. As a result, the
grill may become a little damp when
7. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning the grill, unplug the
appliance and leave to cool completely.
Once cooled, wipe both plaques with a
damp soapy cloth (do not use abrasive
detergent).
Clean the outside of the appliance with a
damp soft cloth.
Do not use metal or abrasive scourers as
this may damage the plaques’ non-stick
coating.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE
IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID OR
PLACE IT UNDER THE TAP.
suspended directly over the lower one.
(Fig. 3)
The movement stiffness of the grill plate
can be adjusted by loosening the screw
in the rear upper plate of the appliance,
using the Allen key (i) supplied with it.
This position is used for au gratin dishes,
reheating and, in general, for using the
grill like a conventional oven.

this dampness should disappear before
long.
