INSTALLING THE GRILL
1. Before using the grill, make sure that it has not been damaged in any way
during transportation.
2. Place the appliance on a flat surface well out of the reach of children, as high
temperatures are generated during use.
3. Before plugging the appliance into the outlet, check that:
•
the supply voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fitted on
the appliance;
•
the power on the outlet is minimum 12,5 A;
•
the outlet is suitable for the type of plug fitted on the appliance; if not it
should be changed;
•
the outlet is grounded. The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damage
caused as a result of non-compliance with this requirement (only for Canada).

Before using the grill for the first time, switch it on and let it heat up in the bar-
becue grill position (pos.1) without any food, for at least 5 minutes; open the
window in order to eliminate any unpleasant smell that tends to be given off
when an appliance is new.
USING THE APPLIANCE
- Plug into the outlet and adjust the thermostat (H) to the required position. The
ON/OFF indicator light (L) will come on. Pre-heat the appliance with the grill pla-
tes closed.
- When the appliance has reached the required temperature, the "READY" indicator
light (I) will come on.
- Place the food to be grilled on the grill plates.
- Place the oil and grease drainage cup (N) under the oil and grease drainage chan-
nel.
- To turn the appliance off, turn the thermostat knob counter-clockwise until it
stops and unplug from the outlet.

- The release catch (B) enables the appliance to be closed (position 2) for easy
transport.
- The appliance has a hinged top plate to adapt to foods of any thickness.
Never touch the plates with sharp implements as this could damage the
coating.
COOKING TIPS

the grill.
- Meat should be seasoned before grilling but salt can be added at time of serving.
- Food which is to be contact-grilled should be uniformly thick to ensure even
browning.
