OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1 Safety

The safety of this appliance complies with accepted technical standards
and the Appliance Safety Law. As manufacturers, however, we also be
lieve it is our responsibility to familiarise you with the following safety
instructions.

Electrical safety

• The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be
carried out by qualified personnel.

• Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by approved service
engineers. Repairs carried out by unqualified persons may cause inju
ry or serious malfunction. If your appliance needs repairing, please
contact your local customer centre or your dealer.

3 Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty is void in the

event of damage.

• Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installati­on in suitable installation cabinets and working surfaces which con­form with the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection
against contact for electrical units as required by the safety provisi
ons.

• If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks or splits appear:
– switch off all heating zones,

– disconnect or remove the fuse for the grill plate.

-

-

-

Child safety

• The heating zones become hot when you cook and grill. Therefore, al­ways keep young children away from the appliance. This also applies
after switching off until the temperature of the grill plate has cooled
sufficiently.

Safety during use

• This appliance may only be used for normal cooking, frying and gril­ling of food in the home.

• Do not use the grill to heat the room.

• Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets near

the unit. Connecting leads must not come into contact with the hot
grill plate.

4

• Overheated fat and oil catch fire quickly. If food is flambéed, the
cooking process should be supervised.

• Switch off the grill plate every time after use.

Special information for the grill plate

Do not place any objects which can be magnetised on the grill plate
while in operation.

3 Noises may occur during operation by expansion of the grill plate. The-

se are not faults in the unit and the function is not impaired in any
way.

Safety when cleaning

• The unit must be switched off and cooled below 90 °C before clea­ning.

• For safety reasons it is not permitted to clean the unit with a steam
jet or high-pressure cleaner.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. Scratching may occur if the pans are slid across the surface.

• Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the grill plate,
e.g. plastics, aluminium foil or oven foils. If something of this nature
should melt onto the grill plate, it must be removed immediately with
a metal spatula.

Disposal

2 Packaging material

The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recyc­led. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<,
etc. Please dispose of the packaging materials in the appropriate con
tainer at the community waste disposal facilities.

environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed infor
mation about recycling of this product, please contact your local city
office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you
purchased the product.

Description of appliance

Key features of your appliance

• The highly conducting grill plate is 10 mm thick. It consists of twin­layer stainless steel and therefore has a good thermal capacity. This
prevents a rapid decrease in temperature, e.g. when preparing meat
from the refrigerator.

• The channeld edge fulfils three important functions:
– It reduces the temperature at the installation surfaces so much that

the grill plate can be fitted in various kitchen working surfaces.

– The curvature of the channel absorbs the expansion of the heated

grill plate to keep it flat.

– Minor food remnants and liquids can easily be fed to the channel

and removed.

• The thermostat with readable temperature setting ensures a constant
temperature. This prevents overheating of the food and permits low­fat cooking with retention of nutritional value.

• The food is prepared (heated) directly on the grill plate with or wit­hout fat. It is also possible, however, to cook with pots.

• The heating time, e.g. to 180 °C, is approx. 6–7 minutes.
The cooling time, e.g. from 180 °C to 100 °C, is approx. 45 minutes, or

°C approx. 60 minutes.

Special accessories

Stainless steel cooking
cover (255 x 140)

The cooking cover is specially suitable
for steaming vegetables, for keeping
cooked food warm or heating it up,
e.g. rice, noodles.
If roasting is performed under the
cover, everything is kept nice and
fresh. Annoying evaporation or splas
hing is largely avoided.

-

Before using for the first time

Initial cleaning

Wipe over the control panel with a damp synthetic fibre cloth.

1 Important: Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaning agent, which

could damage the surface.

Wipe over the grill plate when cold with a damp cloth or for example
with a scouring sponge for delicate surfaces in the grinding direction.
Finish cleaning thoroughly with a damp cloth.

8

Using the grill plate

The food is prepared (heated) directly on the grill plate with or without
fat. It is also possible, however, to cook with pots.
When using pots on the grill plate, however, the cooking time is consi­derably longer than on glass-ceramic, gas rings or cast iron plates.
Garnishings accompanying the menu, e.g. sauces, rice, etc. can be
cooked or kept warm very well in the pan directly on the grill plate.
It is not recommended to cook large amounts on the grill plate, e.g.
spaghetti.

3 Do not hesitate to turn over or remove the food with a spoon while

cooking on the grill plate. Working marks on the grill plate are normal
and do not result in impairment of function.

Thermostat

The required temperature of the grill plate can be set fully variably
within the range 50

°C and 250 °C.

3 The heating time, e.g. to 180 °C, is approx. 6–7 minutes.

Switching on and off

1. Turn the thermostat clockwise to the

required temperature.
– The red operating indication lamp

lights.

– The yellow temperature indication

lamp lights while the unit is hea
ting up.

2. When the temperature indication
lamp extinguishes, the temperature
set is reached.

– The temperature is kept constant

by the thermostat.

– The temperature indication lamp

lights again during further heating.
