Unpacking the device

cable ties and cardboard packaging.

There might be particles or production remains on the device. We
recommend you wipe the enclosure with a damp cloth.
Installation
Refer to the left hand figure on page 3.
1. Remove the grid (1) and the heating element (3).
2. Remove all packaging materials.
3. Clean the grid and the reflector (5) with a damp cloth.
4. Put the reflector plate into the grill base.
5. Pour 1.5 liters of cold water into the grill base, as to cover the
plate.
You will find a "MIN" / "MAX" marking inside the grill base on the
rear wall.
CAUTION:
Fill with water until above the reflector plate. The water bath
and the plate will prevent excessive radiated heat near the base
of the device. Therefore always barbecue using water and the
fitted reflector plate.
6. Attach the heating element with the thermostat (3) to the grill
base:
Using the recess, guide the thermostat horizontally onto the
grillbase. In doing so, tilt the heating element upwards slightly so
that the plate (B) rests in the grill base.
NOTE:
The thermostat is equipped with a safety switch (A). It prevents
the operation of the heating element outside of the grill base.
Check the correct fitting of the thermostat in the grill base.
Electric installation
1. Be sure the voltage of the device (rating plate) is in accordance
with the mains voltage.

connected load recommends a separate input lead secured with a
16 amp protected switch.
