Grill preparations
If the device is used for the first time, all parts should be wiped with a damp cloth.
Then the device should be preheated for about 15 minutes with the lid closed at ma-
ximum temperature to burn off possible residues of production. This may cause some
smoke. Important: The enameled die-cast plates must be inserted correctly! Arrows
must point to the front!
Left grill plate right grill plate
(power grill plate)
The grease drip trays on the left and right side as well as the internal reflectors,
must be inserted so that the surface will not get damaged. The grill plates must not
be covered with aluminum foil, otherwise this could cause overheating. To prevent
damage, do not cut on the grill plates!
The heating rods glow differently due to technical reasons.
Grilling
Oil the grill plates slightly before usage. This makes it easier to turn the food (eg. sun-
flower oil – virgin oils must not be used!). The best results are obtained when the lid
is closed, as it hereby created an all-around heat. If the lid is closed the temperature
increases by around 30°C. This reduces energy consumption! The device can be opera-
ted with left side only, right side only or both sides together. You can pre-grill on the
left plate, for example, and finish grilling on the power plate with 300°C. Please make
sure that there is not too much fat on the plates or in the drip tray. Heavily soiled
items can ignite! For grill suggestions please refer to the following recipe ideas.
Grill plate and power plate
At maximum temperature setting and closed lid following temperatures are obtained
on the plates:
∙ Grill plate left: 250°C
∙ Power plate right: 300°C
You can grill a steak on the left plate at 220°C for 4 minutes per side and finish gril-
ling on the right power plate with 1 minute per side. (The times are approximate and
subject of meat, thickness and quality.)
