Before first use

1. Remove the grill from the packaging, and remove all packaging materials.
2. Clean the grill plate before using the appliance for the first time (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').

• The appliance may emit a little smoke and a characteristic smell when you switch it on for the first time. This is normal and will stop on its own. Make sure the appliance has sufficient ventilation.
• Keep house birds away from the appliance when it is in use. Fumes released from the non-stick coating are harmful to birds.

Preheating

1. Put the appliance on a level and heat-resistant surface.
2. Insert the thermostat completely into the connection socket of the grill plate. Only the supplied cord with thermostat may be used.
3. Put the plug in the wall socket.
4. Adjust the thermostat dial to the required temperature (position 1 through 5). The indicator light on the thermostat will illuminate to show that the heating element has been switched on.
   Position Temperature (°C)
   1. approx. 180°C
   2. approx. 200°C
   3. approx. 220°C
   4. approx. 240°C
   5. approx. 260°C
5. After waiting a few minutes check whether the indicator light is extinguished.
6. Once the indicator light has extinguished the appliance has reached the required temperature, and is ready for use. During use the heating element will switch on and off to keep the temperature of the grill plate constant. Consequently the indicator light will also occasionally be illuminated.

Grilling

1. Allow the grill plate to preheat (see 'Preheating').
2. If so required, grease the grill plate with a little oil.
3. Place the food you wish to grill on the grill plate.
4. Grill the food until it is cooked. Turn the food over occasionally whilst it is being grilled to ensure that both sides are evenly cooked.
5. Remove the food from the grill plate and place on a plate. Take care! The food is hot.

After use

1. Turn the thermostat dial to the "0" position.
2. Remove the plug from the wall socket.
3. Let the appliance cool down fully.
4. Remove the thermostat by holding the appliance's handle with one hand and pulling the thermostat out of the socket with the other hand. Make sure you do not touch the appliance's metal socket; it may still be hot. Always hold the thermostat by the plastic section.

• The metal pin fitted to the thermostat can be very hot.
