Carefully monitor the food while cooking on the grill and adjust the cooking time as you
see necessary. Turning the food over more regularly will achieve more even cooking.
before grilling vegetables, fish or lean meat, we recommend that you grease the hotplate
with vegetable oil or spray it with a special spray that prevents foods from sticking. When
cooking meat containing fat or foods that have been marinated it is not necessary to treat
the hotplate in this way. use only fresh foods (not frozen). Remove sinew and fat from the
meat. Remove bones from fish. Cut the food you wish to grill into small thin slices.
If you will be cooking various types of food after each other (e.g. meat, fish, fruit), we
recommend that you clean the remains from the hotplate between the individual stages
using wooden tongs or spatula. Do not clean the hotplate with water when hot!
You may use the following table as a guide for determining the approximate grilling time:

V. MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance disconnect the appliance from the power grid
by pulling out the plug on the power cord from the el. socket! Only clean the grill
once it has cooled down! Clean regularly after every use by wiping with a soft damp
cloth! Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents (e.g.
sharp objects, caustic
pipe cleaning agents etc.)
Also do not use any pressure cleaning equipment (e.g. dishwasher, pressure or steam
cleaner)! Remove fat and food remains from the grill, which have stuck to the placement
area
A5, drip tray A8, support racks A4 and the hotplate B, etc. using a standard plastic
kitchen spatula. Clean the interchangeable hotplates
B and the drip tray A8 under a weak
water current and wipe dry. Clean the drip tray
A8 in hot water with some detergent and
wipe dry (you may use a dishwasher). It is normal for the colour of surfaces to change over
time. This change in no way changes the properties of the surface and is not a reason for
complaint about the appliance!
Storage
before storing make sure that the interchangeable hotplates are cool. Store the grill in
a safe and dry location that is out of reach of children and incapacitated persons.
