Starting-Up The Appliance; Using The Unit - Alpina 871125225277 Manuel D'utilisation

Starting-up the appliance

• NON-STICK COATING
Lightly grease the baking surfaces before the unit is used
for the first time. Use the appliance for about 10 minutes
with burgers, boneless pieces of meat, thin cuts of meat or
vegetables, keeping the surfaces closed (see "Using the
unit"), then wipe it down with a damp cloth.
• Please do not eat the first food items that you make with the
appliance.

Using the unit

1. Place the appliance on a flat heatproof surface, close to a
220-240V mains socket.
2. Plug into the mains socket. The red 'Power' light will come
on and the green 'Ready' light will be off. Preheat until the
green 'Ready' light comes on. NOTE: Once the appliance is
preheated, the green 'Ready' light will come on and go off as
the thermostat regulates the temperature.
3. Place burgers, boneless pieces of meat, thin cuts of meat or
vegetables on the bottom cooking plate and close the top
cooking plate. The floating hinge will adjust to the height of
the cooking items, and the weight of the top plate will
gradually and evenly press the food down during cooking.
4. The cooking time will depend on the type and thickness of
the food items to be cooked. Check whether the food is
ready by lifting the top plate by the handle. NOTE: All parts
of the appliance, except the handle, will be very hot during
and after cooking. Do not touch any parts of the appliance
except the handle until it has cooled down.
5. When cooking is complete, remove the food items using a
plastic spatula (individually). Never use metal utensils as
they may scratch the non-stick cooking plates.
