∙ Children must not be permitted to play
with the appliance.
∙ Children must not be permitted to
carry out any cleaning or maintenance
work on the appliance unless they
are supervised and at least 8 years of
age.
∙ The appliance and its power cord must
be kept well away from children under
8 at all times.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from
children – these are a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Caution: Do not, under any circumstances, cover
the grill rack with aluminium foil, barbecue dishes or
other items, as the resulting build-up of heat could
cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
∙ Before the appliance is used, the main body as well as
any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for
any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be
used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects
on the operational safety of the appliance. In this case,
please contact our customer service.
∙ During operation, the steakboard must be placed on
a level, heat-resistant surface, impervious to splashes
and stains. When grilling food with a high fat or moisture
content, splashes are not always avoidable.
∙ The power cord should be routed in such a way that no
one is likely to trip over it.
∙ Do not position the steakboard next to a wall or corner,
and ensure that no inflammable materials are stored
near it.
∙ Do not operate the appliance outdoors.
∙ Before the appliance is used, always check that the
reflector tray is correctly fitted in the steakboard.
∙ The steakboard must be supervised at all times during
operation.
∙ Do not allow the power cord to touch any hot parts of the
appliance.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall socket
- after use,
- in case of any malfunction, and
- during cleaning.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull
on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.
∙ The use of an extension-lead reel causes a loss of
power, possibly combined with a subsequent heat build-
up in the cable. It is therefore necessary to unwind the
cable completely from the reel.
∙ Caution: Do not move the steakboard when it is in use.
Before transporting, cleaning or storing the steakboard,
ensure that is has sufficiently cooled down.

Before using for the first time
∙ Remove any packaging materials and stickers from the
appliance.
∙ Clean the grill rack with warm soapy water and dry
thoroughly.
∙ Wipe all other parts with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly.
Grill assembly
∙ Prior to assembly, check that all parts are complete
in accordance with the section Overview and parts
included.
∙ Fit the reflector tray with the recess facing forward into
the base unit.
∙ Fit the junction box with heating element into the unit.
The appliance is equipped with a safety switch. Without
the junction box properly fitted, the appliance cannot be
activated.
∙ Install the grill rack.
∙ If required, fill the reflector tray with water.
Hint: The water prevents the build-up of smoke and
sudden flames when cooking food with a high fat
content.
∙ The appliance is now ready for use.
Heating-up for the first time
∙ Let the steakboard heat up, as described in the section
Grilling, without any food for about 10 minutes at
maximum power. This will remove the smell typically
encountered when first 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 rack as described in the Cleaning and
care section.
