• Carefully read the instructions in this manual, which are common to the different versions depending on the accessories
supplied with your appliance, and keep them close at hand.
• If an accident occurs, run cold water over the burn immediately and call a doctor if necessary.
• When using for the first time, wash the plates (see paragraph 11), pour a little oil on them and wipe them with a soft cloth.
• Make sure that the power cord is properly positioned (with or without an extension cord), and take all necessary
precautions so as to not obstruct the movement of guests around the dinner table and ensure that no one trips over it.

that bird owners keep their birds away from the cooking area.
• Always keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
• Check that both sides of the plates are clean before use.

oven or on a gas or electric hob).
• Make sure that the plates are stable, well positioned and securely fastened to the base of the appliance. Only use the
plates supplied or purchased from the authorised service centre.
