PREPARING THE APPLIANCE

Each individual appliance is checked at the factory but, for
safety's sake, after unpacking, check carefully that your
appliance has not been damaged during transport.
• Check whether there is any visible damage (e.g. in the
form of dents or similar), if the door closes properly,
and if the hinges are in order.
• If the appliance appears to have been damaged,
contact the shop where you bought it, and do not use
it until it has been checked by an authorised specialist.
• Before use, check that you have removed all transport
packaging inside and out.
Positioning the appliance
• The appliance must stand on a flat surface capable of
bearing its weight (approx 10.5 kg).
• The appliance is not suitable for built-in fitting. There
must be a clearance of at least 10 cm at the rear, 30
cm above and 15 cm at the sides to ensure sufficient
ventilation.
• Check that the vent holes in the cabinet are not
covered. If they are covered while the appliance is
in use, there is a risk of overheating. Do not use the
appliance until it has cooled down.
• Do not remove the rubber feet.
Connection
• The appliance must be connected to a 230-volt AC
current, 50 Hz.
o The guarantee is not valid if the appliance is
connected to the wrong voltage.
• When power is connected, a beep is heard and the
display (5) will show "00.0".
Inserting the glass turntable
Before use, ensure the glass turntable (8) is correctly
seated on its spindle (9). The three rollers on the spindle
should run in the circular track on the underside of the
glass turntable.
Before using for the first time
A small amount of smoke and smell may be emitted when
the appliance is used for the first time. This is due to oil
residue from manufacture and is neither abnormal nor
hazardous. Smells can be eliminated by starting the grill
programme and letting it run for a few minutes. Smells and
smoke should disappear as a result. Repeat the procedure
if this is not the case.
