9. Using the volcanic rock grill
During normal operations, the appliance heats up considerably. Caution should therefore be used.
Do not allow children to approach the appliance. Do not leave the grill unattended while it is on.
9.1
Before switching on the grill
The first time it is used, the grill may develop an acrid or burnt smell caused by oily residue from
manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. To eliminate this problem,
clean all its components beforehand as described in section "13.8 Cleaning the volcanic rock grill".
9.2
Switching on
Proceed as follows:
Remove the cast iron grill very carefully to
avoid breaking it;
lift the heating element upwards and lock it, by
moving the lock system S towards the left as
shown in the figure;
fill the safety vat with the volcanic rock, taking
care to evenly cover the whole surface, so that
it does not go over the edge.
Water (up to 2 litres) can be used in the safety vat instead of volcanic rock. It is advisable to use
water when cooking very fatty meat (e.g. sausage, bacon, etc.), as the meat juices will melt
instantaneously in the water. This method prevents excessive smoke and simplifies the cleaning
operations described in section 13.8.
The heating element should never be switched on unless the safety vat contains the volcanic rock
or water as specified above.
Release the lock system S and lower the
heating element;
reposition the cast iron grill over the heating
element as shown in the figure.
The cast iron grill ensures adequate heat
distribution.
The appliance is ready to be switched on.
Before use, preheat the cast iron grill for 5 or 10 minutes by turning the energy regulator knob to
the maximum setting (11). The red light signals the appliance is working.
Now turn the energy regulator knob to the required setting (see section "9.3 Energy regulator
table"). Place the food on the cast iron grill and cook as required.
