applications.
∙ In order to avoid hazards, and to comply
with safety requirements, repairs to this
electrical appliance or its power cord must
be carried out by our customer service.

the appliance to our customer service
department (see appendix).

Heating element
The junction box contains a safety switch.
Place the heating element into the grill pan.
The safety switch is activated automatically
when the heating element has been properly
fi tted. If not fi tted correctly, the appliance can
not be switched on.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ Remove any packaging materials from
the appliance.
∙ Clean the grill rack and grill pan with
warm soapy water; wipe thoroughly dry
afterwards.
∙ Grill assembly:
∙ Place the heating element into the grill
pan.
∙ Fit the grill rack on top.
∙ If required, additional accessories may be
fi tted according to the diagram.
∙ Fill the grill pan with water up to the 'Max'
marking.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power-outlet.
∙ Let the grill heat up for approximately
10 minutes without any food on the
rack. This will lessen the smell typically
encountered when fi rst switching on a
new grill (a slight smell and a little smoke
may be emitted).
Grilling
∙ The grill pan must be fi lled with water up
to the 'Max' marking.
∙ Height-adjustable models:
When cooking delicate foods, the rack
should be adjusted to its highest position.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable earthed
power-outlet.
∙ Switch-type grill models:
Set the switch to its on position.
∙ Thermostat-controlled models:
Turn the thermostat control knob
clockwise all the way. The indicator light
comes on, and the heating element is
permanently switched on.
∙ After approximately 10 minutes, the heating
element reaches the right temperature for
grilling.
∙ The grill can also be used to keep the
food warm: by turning the thermostat
control back, the intervals between the
heating element switching on and off can
be reduced to a minimum.
∙ Caution: To prevent a possible build-
up of heat and subsequent damage to
the appliance, the food to be cooked
must be placed directly onto the grill
rack. Do not place any objects (e.g.
aluminium foil, barbecue plates or
other items) between the food and the
heating element.
∙ As the water in the grill pan evaporates
during grilling, it must be topped up in
good time. When adding water, ensure
