Practical tips

• The grill bars (3/a) are ideal for the
preparation of meat, fish and poultry.
Fat and juice can fall into the drip tray
through the grill webs. This ensures a
healthy, low-fat preparation.
• The grill surface (3/b) is ideal for
example for the preparation of eggs,
ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions,
etc. It is also very well suited for keep-
ing food warm.
• Tender pieces of meat are best suited
for grilling.
• Pieces of meat such as from the shoul-
der or neck become more tender if
marinated overnight.
• Grill tongs should be used but not
forks to turn the grilling items. They
will then remain juicy inside and not
dry out.
• The grilled food should not be turned
too frequently. When the items are
browned on both sides, they should be
finished at a lower temperature. The
food does not dry out and is cooked
more evenly.

Cleaning and care

Withdraw the mains plug every time
1
before cleaning!
Dry all parts thoroughly before putting
away. Ensure that the plug contacts of
the heater plate are dry before con-
necting the thermostat to the heater
plate. If necessary, wipe over with a
cloth or shake out water thoroughly.
Thermostat
Note that water must not penetrate
1
inside the thermostat under any cir-
cumstances! Never clean under run-
ning water or even in rinsing water.
0 Clean thermostat with a moist cloth.
Heater plate, splash guard
The components of the heater plate are
fully sealed. This can therefore also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
