Operating Your Grill Barbecue
WARNING: Risk of Burns! Do not touch hot surfaces! – The exterior of the grill, especially the
top plate, will get hot during operation! Solely use handles and knobs for handling the appli-
ance. Beware of hot condensate and steam, when opening grill.
You may use your Grill Barbecue as an open grill (with the top plate fold back) or as a clo-
sed grill. Prefer to keep the top plate closed for a shorter cooking time and to avoid an unne-
cessary high energy consumption.
1. Prepare the appliance for use:
Fully unwind the power cord from the cord storage. Place the appliance on a heat-resistant
stable surface (see Important Safeguards). If you want to use the appliance as an open grill,
you need at least 50 cm of free space on the rear for the appliance.
Slide the grilling height control on the right metal arm of the top plate to the OPEN position
to unlock the top plate (see Grilling height Control). Ensure, that the cooking plates are clean
and that there are no objects on the cooking plates.
Ensure the removable drip pan is correctly inserted and positioned
back into the appliance and snapped into place (see Features of
Your Design Grill Barbecue).
WARNING! Do not operate the appliance without the drip pan to avoid hot fat and juices spil-
ling and causing scalds and damage. Solely use handles and knobs for handling the appli-
ance (i.e. handle, dials, grilling height control). Do not touch the cooking plates or other hot
parts of the appliance during operation.
2. Insert the plug into a suitable power outlet (230/240V, AC, 50/60 Hz; see: Important
Safeguards for Electrical Appliances). Close the top plate for a more efficient preheating.
3. Turn the tilt dial to the required position: FLAT = level, ANGLE = inclined.
(see: Base Plate Tilt Dial)
It is important that the base plate is in the FLAT (level) position when using as an open grill.
4. Switch ON the power switch. The red HEATING power indicator will illuminate. Ensure the
grilling height control is in the OPEN position.
5. Turn the temperature dial to the required position for fast preheating. SEAR for meat and
similar foods. SANDWICH for sandwiches.
Note: The red heating light will cycle on and off during the cooking process indicating that
the correct temperature is being maintained.
