Important Safeguards For Electrical Appliances - Gastroback Design Table-Top Grill Advanced Operating Instructions Manual

• Do not place the housing, temperature probe, or the power cord in an
automatic dishwasher.
• Do not leave any food dry on the appliance. Always clean the appliance after each use
to prevent an accumulation of baked-on foods (see: ´Care and Cleaning`). Always keep
the appliance and its parts, where it is clean.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket
to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conduc-
tor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power
supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated
for at least 16 A). The power outlet socket must be installed separately from other power
outlet sockets to avoid interference with other appliances.
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum
rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly
recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompa-
tible norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet
the requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance
abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not to use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, or remote control systems.
It is best to avoid using an extension cord, but if you wish to use one, only use an exten-
sion cord rated for a maximum continuous current of at least 16 A (1 mm² minimum core
cross-section) with safety plug and safety coupler plug and protective conductor (earth/
ground) connected properly. Additionally, the extension cord must be of sufficient length.
When laying power cords, always ensure that no one will step on the extension cord or
get entangled or trip over the power cords. Also, ensure that no tension is applied to any
part of the power cords. Tie the extension cord loosely onto the leg of the table using a
separate cord, to ensure that no one will pull the power cord. To connect: always con-
nect the appliance to the extension cord first. To disconnect: always unplug the extension
cord from the power supply first.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of the power plug must be smooth and
clean. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Do not place the appli-
ance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or
squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
The power cord may not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure that no one will pull
the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always
grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power plug
with wet hands when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
• DO NOT drip or spill any liquids on the housing, control unit, temperature probe, or
power cord. Do not place the grilling top on the housing, when these parts are wet.
Otherwise liquid will evaporate during heat-up and could run into the housing, causing
risk of electric shock or fire. When liquids overflowed or are spilled on the housing, con-
trol unit, or power cord, immediately unplug the appliance. Thereafter, clean the appli-
ance and let it dry for at least 1 day (see: ´Care and Cleaning`).
• Do not operate the appliance without the oil tray to avoid risk of overhe-
ating, fire, and electric shock!
