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 indicated on the rating plate on the bottom
• 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 in the event that this
important accident-prevention rule is not respected.
USE
- before turning the appliance on fill the drip pan with water (the water must ALWAYS be
between the MIN and MAX level).
- Plug into the mains socket and set the switch (D) to the ON position. The light (E) comes on.
Adjust the thermostat (F) to the required position (MIN - MED or MAX).
- before using for the first time, operate the appliance empty (with water in the drip pan)
with the thermostat at maximum for at least 15 minutes to eliminate the "new" smell and
any smoke caused by the presence of protective substances applied to the element before
transport. During this operation, ventilate the room.
- you are recommended to preheat the appliance for about 5-10 minutes before starting to
cook (start with the appliance cold only when grilling and extend the cooking times slightly).
- when you need to turn or check the meat, remove the drip pan carefully to avoid spilling the
water.
- to turn the appliance off, set the switch (D) to the OFF position. Unplug from the mains and
leave to cool down before emptying the water.
IMPORTANT: the appliance will not work if the drip pan is not inserted correctly in one of the
two guides. There is a switch in the appliance which detects the presence of the pan in order
to prevent it from operating empty.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate
remote control system.

THERMOSTAT KNOB (F)
the adjustable thermostat can be set to three positions: MIN - MED - MAX.
MIN: recommended for keeping cooked food warm.
MED: recommended for food which requires long slow cooking (e.g. chicken).
MAX: recommended for all types of cooking using the grill or plate.
TIPS FOR OPTIMUM GRILLING
-preheat the grill for 5-10 minutes.
- marinade the meat before grilling to make it more tender and tastier.
- flavour the meat before cooking, add salt when you serve.
- turn the food over at least once during cooking unless otherwise specified.
- never descale fish to be grilled.
- when you grill fish, use a large flat spatula to turn it over.
-dry defrosted or marinated food well before placing on the plate.
- use plastic implements only. Metal could damage the non-stick surface of your plate.
TYPES OF COOKING
USING THE GRILL (SMOKELESS)
This is ideal for cooking grilled meat and fish such as kebabs, hamburgers, cutlets, chicken,
gilthead, bass, etc. According to the size of the food, place the grill in the top or bottom position
(in most cases, it is best to use the top guide). Depending on the type of food to be cooked, the
thermostat can be set on MED or MAX (see cooking table below). Always remember to put water
in the drip pan and keep the level between MIN and MAX. Turn the food over halfway through
the cooking time.
USING THE PLATE
This function is ideal for cooking vegetables, eggs, polenta, cheese, slices of bread, steaks, etc.
The plate can also be used to cook meat and fish (as for grilling) with the difference that in this
case, contact between the food and the plate will cause smoke. The thermostat must always be
in the MAX. position. Even when cooking with the plate alone, you are recommended to place
water in the drip pan to avoid the appliance overheating.
IMPORTANT: the plate and grill can both be used at the same time (the thermostat must be in the
MAX. position).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the appliance, always unplug from the mains socket and allow to cool. Never
immerse the appliance in water, never wash under running water. Clean outside surfaces with
a wet sponge only. To remove the pan from the guide, pull it out taking care not to spill the
water. The grill, drip pan, Teflon-coated plate and drip tray can be washed normally, either by
hand or in a dishwasher. Never use abrasive pads or pointed or sharp objects to clean the
plate as this could damage the Teflon. To clean steel elements, use a special detergent and
abrasive pad. If necessary, clean the cable with a soft cloth. Never immerse the cable in
water or other liquids.
