Electrical Connection; Before Initial Use; Operation - Proficook PC-KG 1029 Mode D'emploi

• The top grill plate is fitted with a compensating
joint. This enables the optimal contact of the
top grill plate with the food.
• The top grill plate can also be folded up by
180°. By doing so, you get double the grill
surface and you can use the appliance as a
table grill.
• The non-stick coated grill surfaces enable
dishes to be prepared without the use of fat.
• If you want to use oil ensure that it is highly
heatable, such as sunflower oil. Do not use
olive oil or butter, since they start smoking
already at low temperatures.
Switching On/Off
• Always set the temperature regulator (6) to the
MIN position before turning the appliance on or
off.
• You can turn the appliance on or off with the
ON / OFF switch (5). The power indicator lamp
POWER (8) indicates that the appliance is in

operation.

Electrical connection

Power rating
The appliance can consume 2000 W of power
in total. At this power rating, we recommend a
separate connection with fuse protection via a
16 A domestic circuit breaker.
CAUTION: Overload
Do not use any extension cords or multiple
sockets as this appliance is too powerful.
Connection
• Before you plug the power plug into the power
outlet, ensure that the mains voltage corre-
sponds with that of the appliance. You can find
information about this on the rating plate.
• Only connect the appliance to a properly
installed earthed socket.

Before initial use

1. Clean the grill plates as described under
"Cleaning". Re-insert the grill plates.
2. Close the contact grill. Insert the fat collection
tray (10) on the back of the grill.
3. Operate the appliance with the closed grill
plates for about 10 minutes without any food
(see "Operation"). To do so, turn the tempera-
ture regulator to the MAX position.
NOTE:
This process normally produces a small
amount of smoke. Ensure adequate ventila-
tion.
4. Turn the appliance off and disconnect the
power plug.
5. Let the appliance cool down completely.
6. Wipe the grill surfaces with a damp cloth.
Your appliance is now ready to use.
Operation
Choose whether you want to work with a closed
contact grill or with a folded open table grill.
Use as a contact grill
1. Turn the appliance on with the ON / OFF
switch. Both control lamps will light up.
2. Set the temperature regulator to the MAX posi-
tion. The temperature control lamp READY (7)
will go out. The appliance is being heated up.
NOTE:
• The heating time is about 10 minutes.
• When the control lamp READY is lit up,
the set temperature has been reached. It
turns on and off during operation. This is
normal and shows that the temperature is
thermostat-controlled and maintained.
3. Open the appliance with the handle. Position
the top grill plate vertically.
4. Place the food onto the bottom grill plate.
5. Slowly close the top grill plate. You do not have
to flip the food.
