Using the appliance
m
Risk of burns!
Fat may splash during grilling.
As the contact grill can be used in different
positions, various cooking methods are
possible.

operating instructions illustrate
recommended grilling times and grill settings
for different foods.
Contact grilling
The corrugated side of the upper grill plate
is placed directly on the food. The food is
cooked evenly from above and below.
Especially suitable for quick grilling at high
temperatures, e.g. rump steaks, chops or
paninis.

Grilling:
The grill is opened fully. The food is distri-
buted over the whole area and must be
turned.

suspended horizontally in the highest
position. The upper grill plate must not touch
the food. Especially suitable for cooking
"au gratin" and for baking toppings.

Do not scratch the coated plates with sharp-
edged objects!

General
Grill food light instead of dark or brown,
remove burnt remnants! Do not overgrill
starchy foods, especially potato and cereal

minimised).
Before placing food on the grill plates,
preheat the grill. Place food on the grill plates;
before placing new food on the plates, wipe
them with kitchen roll.
Frozen food items must be fully defrosted
and dry.
Only add salt to meat and fish after grilling.
