scientific evidence available today.

Before first use

1 Remove any stickers and wipe the body of the appliance with a damp cloth.
2 Clean the appliance and the plate thoroughly (see chapter 'Cleaning').

Using the appliance

Note: The appliance may produce some smoke when you use it for the first time. This is normal.
1 Slide the drip tray into the base (Fig. 2).
Note: The drip tray can only be slid into the base in one way.
2 Fill the drip tray up to the minimum water level indication (MIN) (Fig. 3).
- The water in the drip tray helps to prevent food particles from getting burnt.
- To make cleaning easier, you can line the drip tray with aluminium foil before you fill it with water.
- When you line the drip tray, make sure the foil does not hang over the sides of the tray, as this
prevents proper air circulation.
3 Place the grilling plate into the slots in the base (Fig. 4).
Note: The grilling plate only fits in the base in one way.
4 Insert the thermostat unit into the thermostat unit socket in the side of the appliance (Fig. 5).

(see section 'Grilling times' in this chapter).

6 Place the ingredients on the grilling plate when the heating-up light goes out.

,
This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the correct
temperature.
7 Turn the food from time to time.
8 When the food is done, remove it from the grilling plate.
Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils.
9 For optimal results, remove excess oil from the grilling plate with a piece of kitchen paper.

next batch of food.

light goes out.
