High temperatures – risk of burns
cauTIOn: Hot surface!
The Design Grill-Barbecue Advanced is designed for cooking food. For this
purpose, the grilling surfaces are heated electrically. Thus, improper handling
could cause severe injuries and damage. Please keep this in mind to avoid
burns and damage.
• The grilling surfaces, the drip tray, frame of the grilling surfaces, lid and housing of the ap-
pliance can be very hot during operation and shortly thereafter. Additionally, during prepara-
tion of your food, hot steam and splashes could escape. Do not touch the hot surfaces with any
parts or your body or any heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive objects during operation or while
the appliance is still hot. Only touch the appliance and its parts at the handles and operating
elements during operation and shortly thereafter. Beware of hot steam and condensate, when
placing food on the grilling surfaces. Protect your hands and arms with oven gloves. Do not
leave any foreign objects on the hot grilling area (e.g. grilling shovels, barbecue utensils).
• Do not move the appliance when still hot. Always leave the appliance and all its parts cool
down before moving the appliance, emptying the drip tray or cleaning the appliance. Do not
place the appliance on heat-sensitive surfaces, for operation or when hot.
• Do not operate the appliance close to inflammable, volatile materials (e.g. alcohol, spirit, or
benzine), or high-proof alcoholic beverages. Alcohol will quickly evaporate due to the heat,
thus building up an inflammable mixture that could be ignited by any source of ignition (e.g.
candles, cigarettes, and heating elements of the appliance), causing severe injuries to persons
and serious damage. DO nOT cook any high-proof alcoholic liquid or alcoholic
foodstuffs (e.g. mulled wine, grog) on the appliance. Do not pour any alcoho-
lic liquid on the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and fire. The appliance is
not suited for flambéing.
non-stick coating
The grilling surfaces of your Design Grill-Barbecue Advanced are provided with Corflon non-
stick coatings. Even without using additional oil, food will not stick to the coated surfaces. Due
to the cooked food, some discolouration may occur. However, this will not affect the cooking
performance.
Please adhere to the following precautions:
• Before first use, wipe the non-stick coatings of the grilling surfaces with a little cooking
oil. Thereafter, there is no need to add any further oil for cooking.
• Do not use the appliance, if the non-stick coating is scratched, cracked or detached due to
overheating.
• Only use wooden or heat-resistant plastic cooking utensils with the appliance. Do not use
hard or sharp objects for scratching, stirring, or cutting on the coatings. We will not be liable
for damage to the non-stick coating, if metal utensils or similar objects have been used. Do not
use any spray-on non-stick coatings.
• The non-stick coatings minimise the effort of cleaning. Do not use abrasive scourers or ab-
rasive cleaners for cleaning. Even stubborn residues can be removed via a soft sponge or soft
nylon brush and warm dishwater.
