a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Before the appliance is used, the main
body as well as any attachment fi tted
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.
∙ During operation, the barbecue grill
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.
∙ Do not position the grill next to a wall or
corner, and ensure that no infl ammable
materials are stored near it.
∙ Remember that food with a high fat or
moisture content may tend to ignite;
therefore always fi ll the grill pan with
water before use. Do not connect the
grill to mains power until the grill pan
has been fi lled with water.
∙ The water helps to cool down the grill pan,
reduces the build-up of smoke, and also
facilitates cleaning.
∙ Ensure that the water level inside the grill
pan is kept between the 'Min.' and 'Max.'
markings at all times during use.
– Max. water level indicator
– Min. water level indicator
Always ensure that the water level is kept
above the 'Min.' mark. Water should be
added in good time, while ensuring that it
does not come into contact with the heating
element. Caution: Disconnect the grill
12
from the mains before adding water.
∙ Before the grill is used, always check
that the heating element is correctly
fi tted in the housing and grill pan.
∙ The barbecue grill must be supervised
at all times during operation.
∙ Always bear in mind that the housing
surfaces as well as the heating element
and the grill rack become very hot during
operation. Even after the heating element
is switched off, it must not be touched
until it has suffi ciently cooled down - there
is otherwise a severe danger of burns.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, the
heating element and the power cord must
not be immersed in liquid or even allowed
to come into contact with it.
∙ Do not allow the power cord to touch any
hot parts of the appliance.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket
- before fi lling the grill pan with water,
- after use,
- in case of any malfunction, and
- during cleaning.
∙ 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 if a cable reel is used.
Make sure that the reel is approved for
outdoor use by the manufacturer.
∙ Caution: Do not move the grill when it
is in use. Before carrying, transporting
or storing the grill, ensure that is has
suffi ciently cooled down. Pour out any
remaining water after use.
∙ Ensure that the grill is not stored
outdoors, or in any other location where
it might be subjected to extremes of
temperature or high humidity.
