operate the appliance with the top plate closed. Otherwise power consumption increases sig-
nificantly. Ensure all persons stay in sufficient distance to the appliance during operation.
• Especially when opening the grill during operation or immediately after switching off,
always keep your hands and arm as well as any other objects in sufficient distance to the
appliance during operation to avoid scalds and damage.
Maintenance of the Quantanium Non-Stick Surfaces
Your Grill Barbecue features the special scratch resistant Quantanium non-stick coating.
Regardless of this fact, we recommend that care is taken with the non-stick coating. Do not
use hard or sharp objects for scratching or cutting inside the Grill Barbecue. Always remove
your foods from the cooking plate, before cutting. We will not be liable for damage to the
non-stick coating where metal utensils or similar objects have been misused.
Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the need for oil, food can easily be removed and
does not stick and cleaning is easier. Before first use, wipe the non-stick surface with a little
amount of oil.
Any discolouration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of Grill Barbecue
and will not affect the cooking performance. When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use
metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash in hot soapy water. Remove stubborn residue with
a non abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush.
Please adhere to the following precautions:
• Do not use the grill, with the non-stick coating being scratched, cracked or detached due to
overheating.
• Avoid to use metal utensils or other hard and sharp objects with the appliance to avoid
scratching the non-stick surfaces. Only use wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils to stir and
serve the food. Never use hard and sharp utensils to cut or scratch on the cooking plates.
• Never use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, cleaning pads or any sharp objects (i.e. metal
scouring pads) for cleaning. Carefully clean the appliance with a damped sponge or tissue
and warm washing-up liquid. If required, use a nylon washing brush. Do not leave any food
dry on the appliance. Always clean your grill after each use to prevent a build up of baked-
on foods (see Care and Cleaning).
• Do not use spray-on non-stick coatings as this will affect or damage the non-stick surface
on the cooking plates.
