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.
