Application
1. Grilling
The hot plates are used with the grooved
side for grilling. The hot plates have a grease
outlet for excessive fat. Please place a small
plate beneath (Fig. 5 + 6).
2. Browning
The hot plates are used with the grooved
side for browning. The top grill plate may not
touch the food. To assure this, the appliance
is opened and the hinge levers to the right
and left outside on the hinges are tilted for-
ward simultaneously (Fig. 7). When the top
part is closed, an interval of 4 cm appears. To
replace, lift up the top part, tilt the hinge lever
back again and close the lid.
Do not put the hinge levers back on one side
or during operation of the appliance.
3. Party grilling
The grooved grill plates are used. Open up
the top shell on the handle, lift up slightly and
place to the rear (Fig. 8 + 9).
Place a small plate under each of the fat out-
lets (Fig. 6).
Be absolutely sure when grilling that hot
plate 1 is covered first. Under no circum-
stances may plate 2 be used alone for
party grilling, only in combination with
plate 1 will perfect temperature control be
achieved (Fig. 9).
4. Baking waffles
The appliance can be turned into a waffle iron
by turning over the grill plates. For turning
over the plates, see section ,,Preparation".
In all cases
Close the appliance (Fig. 10) and heat up. To do
this, insert the mains plug and set the tempera-
ture selector to the rated figure as indicated in
the grill compass, bottom line. The appliance is
not ready for operation until the control lamp has
gone out. Then place the food to be cooked. For
continuous operations such as baking waffles,
for example, always wait until the appliance has
become heated up. Only then add the batter!

Temperatures
The temperatures can be set continuously from
Position 1 to 5.
Position 1: around 150°C
Position 2: around 160°C
Position 3: around 200°C
Position 4: around 230°C
Position 5: around 250°C
The times given in the grill compass assume a
preheated appliance (the control lamp has gone
out).
Vary the times according to the thickness and the
desired degree of cooking of the food.
Practical tips:
Contact grilling
Pieces of meat are suitable which you would also
use for brief frying in the frying pan.
Before grilling, the meat must be completely
thawed out and thoroughly dry. Salter after grill-
ing. If aluminium foil is used, grease it slightly on
the inside. Breaded foods are preferably cooked
at a lower heat for somewhat longer.
Browning
e.g., filled slices of toast.
Toast bread does not have to be pretoasted.
Party grilling
For "sociable grilling" at the table, the appliance
is used like a large frying pan for grilling all quick-
ly fried meat cuts. The food must be turned over.
Baking waffles
After they have been heated up, the waffle irons
are greased once with oil or vegetable fat. If you
are careful in measuring and pouring the batter
evenly, you can avoid the running over of the
batter. Always let waffles cool off on a kitchen
grate.
Note: Waffles made with milk and cream become
softer and lighter, water waffles become crisper
and browner.
