Heating-up for the fi rst time
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power outlet.
∙ Let the grill heat up without any food for
about 10 minutes, with the hood closed,
at maximum power. This will remove the
smell typically encountered when fi rst
switching on a grill. A little smoke may be
emitted; this is quite normal, but ensure
there is adequate ventilation by opening
windows or balcony doors.
∙ Clean the grill plate as described in the
Cleaning and care section.
Thermometer
The hood thermometer shows the current
temperature inside the cooking chamber.

Grill plate
∙ The grill plate has a long-life ceramic-
type coating, allowing for high-
temperature grilling without (or with very
little) fat/oil.
∙ Before grilling such foods as vegetables
or fi sh, use a pastry brush or kitchen
paper to apply a little heat-resistant fat/
oil to the grill plate (frying fat, or coconut,
palm, sunfl ower or rape/canola oil).
∙ Oils that are not heat resistant can
burn into the ceramic-type surface
and permanently damage its non-stick
properties.
∙ For detailed information on cleaning the
appliance, please refer to the section
Cleaning and care.
Grilling
∙ Check that the barbecue grill has been
correctly assembled and is standing
securely.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power outlet.
∙ Turn the thermostat control knob to
position MAX. The indicator light comes
on, and the grill plate heats up.
∙ Once the temperature is high enough,
open the hood and put the food on.
∙ Grilling is possible with the hood
open or closed. With it closed, higher
temperatures are reached and – because
of an effect similar to a baking oven –
indirect grilling takes place.
∙ The temperature can be adjusted
as necessary, up or down, with the
temperature control.
∙ Once the grilling process is fi nished:
∙ Turn the thermostat control knob back to
