DeLonghi BQ20 - Manual (Page 5)

INSTALLATION
• Before use, make sure the appliance has not been damaged during transport.
• Install the appliance on a horizontal surface out of reach of children as certain parts of the grill become
extremely hot during use.
USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
• After unpacking the appliance, wash the drip tray with soapy water, then rinse and dry.
• When used for the first time, the grill may give off smoke. This is completely normal.
USE
• Insert the drip tray two thirds into the guides in the base of the appliance (A) (fig.1). To avoid overheating and
smoke, add water to the drip tray up to the maximum level.
• Push the drip tray in as far as it will go. If the drip tray is not correctly positioned a safety device prevents
the appliance from working.
• Plug into the outlet. The power on indicator light (B) will illuminate.
• Adjust the thermostat (D) in relation to the food to be grilled.
• Preheat the appliance for at least 15 minutes .
• Place the food on the grill rack and distribute evenly on the cooking surface.
Note: During cooking, top-off the minimum level of water. Liquids and fats given off during cooking are
immediately cooled down by the water thus reducing smoke emission. To add water to the drip tray (E),
pull it out slightly using an oven mitt, pour in the water, then reposition correctly.
• Do not use metal utensils on the grill surface.
