COOKING TIPS

- Dry defrosted or marinated food befo­re placing on the grill plates.

- Add herbs and spices to the meat
before cooking, salt on serving.

- When using the "contact" position, the
pieces to be grilled should be of the
same thickness to ensure more even
cooking.

- When cooking fish, the plate the fish
rests on (I) must always be oiled.

- Some examples of how to use your
steak grill are given below.

WORKING POSITIONS

Your appliance is designed for use in one of three positions:

INSTALLATION

- Before use, make sure the appliance
has not been damaged during tran­sport.

- Install the appliance on a horizontal
surface out of reach of children as
certain parts of the grill become
extremely hot during use.

- Before plugging into the mains, make
sure that:

• the mains voltage corresponds to
the value V indicated on the rating
plate on the bottom of the applian­ce;

• the mains socket has a minimum

rating of 10A;

• the plug is suitable for the socket.
If this is not the case, have the
plug replaced.

• the plug is efficiently earthed.
The manufacturer declines all lia­bility for damage deriving from fai­lure to observe this safety rule.

- To eliminate the "new" smell when
using the appliance for the first time,
operate it open in the barbecue posi­tion (see page 3, position 3) without
food for at least five minutes. During
this operation, ventilate the room.
