Tips on grilling
Use of the grill
The numbers 1-12 are temperature settings. From 1-11 the heating is increased and regulated automatically. On 12, full power is achieved and the heating elements are glowing. This step is suitable for heating up the grill quickly and for cleaning the heating elements. The table shows the approximate adjustment steps for different grill dishes.
NB!! The grid must always be used.
Grilling over lava blocks
Before starting the grilling, the grid is lifted off and the heating elements turned up. The box for the lava blocks is put into place.
NB!! Preheat the grill elements for about 5 minutes on step 12. This will result in the meat getting heated from the lava blocks as well.
elements are preheated for approximately 5 minutes on step 12, the meat will get heat from the water and become juicy. When fat drips down into the water it will cool off so quickly that it cannot be ignited. Keep an eye on the water and refill as necessary.
NB!! Oil may be applied onto the meat before it is laid on the grill.
Warning
The lava block box shall always be placed in the grill and the grill grid placed on top before the grill unit is switched on.
Spices may be sprinkled directly on the meat, or over the lava stones in order to give the meat an additional aroma.
NB!! Oil may be applied onto the meat before laying it on the grill.
Grilling over water
Grilling may be done with water instead of the lava blocs. If the grill

Tips on frying
Select the desired temperature and wait for the fryer lamp to go out. The oil is now at the desired temperature.
NB!! Remember that moist foodstuff should be dried before frying (ie. seafood, vegetables, fruit, fish). After frying the basket is lifted out and carefully shaken to remove excess oil (the basket may be hung on the fixing bracket in order to let the oil run off further). In the table the approximate times are given for frying, which may serve as a guide. The times depend on the finished appearance and personal taste.
If you should want to fry large amounts of food at the same time, it is best to take up the basket after 1-2 minutes so that the oil may quickly reach the correct temperature again. The fried food will get more crispy this way. If it does not get crispy enough (even if the temperature is set correctly), or if the oil changes colour to light brown, the oil should be changed.
NB!! Make sure that no naked flames are near the fryer. The oil is hot and ignites easily. Remember to set the temperature dial back to 0 once the frying is finished.

Food residue left in the oil must be removed before the fryer is used again because of fire risk!
If you should want to use both the grill and the fryer, for instance to make a beef steak with french fries, the following method may be used:
1. Prepare the fryer for use by removing the grill grid and box for lava blocks, and turn the grill elements upright. Heat the oil to 190˚C (Approx. 10 minutes). Put the chips into the basket and lower it in the heated oil. Boil the chips almost ready (crispy an light brown). Hang the basket for dripping on the bracket and then place it on kitchen paper. Switch off the fryer.
2. The grill is used as follows: install the lava blocks box, lower the grill elements and lay on the grill grid. Preheat on setting 12 for about 5-8 minutes before laying on the beef steaks. Fry the steaks (10-15 minutes form rare to well done). Switch off the grill.
side and switch on the fryer. After a few minutes the oil is once again hot enough and the chips may be fried until they are crispy.
Dinner is now ready to be served..
3. Then place the steaks on a serving platter and keep warm. The French fries can now be finished. Take off the grill grid. Turn up the grill elements and remove the lava block box. Use kitchen gloves as the grill is hot. Turn the grill elements down along one

Stainless steel surfaces
Clean the appliance after use with a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water, use a small amount of liquid detergent for stubborn soiling. Stainless steel parts may become straw coloured with use, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration.
Never use steel wool, metal sponges or other abrasive cleaning agents.
The Grill
The grill must be cold before cleaning.
The grill grid
The grilling grid should be cleaned after each use.
1. Remove burnt-in fat and bits of food with a scouring pad. If the grid is heavily soiled you can let it soak in warm water with washing up liquid.
2. Clean the grilling grid with washing up liquid or in the dishwasher.
3. Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the grid
1. Boil the stones in water with a little washing up liquid added.
2. Place the stones in the frying basket and wash it all in the dishwasher.
Replace the lava stones when they cannot be cleaned satisfactorily by either of the above methods. New stones may be bought from your local Service Force Centre.
The heating elements
Normally the heating elements will burn off fat during use but if the heating elements get very soiled by fat or bits of food you can clean them with a hard brush.
The fryer
You can leave the oil in the container from time to time. How often you need to change the oil depends on how often you use the fryer and for what.
You should change the oil and clean the frying container when the oil changes colour and/or if the oil begins to smell.
The lava stones
It is not necessary to clean the lava stones after each use. The lava stones absorb and burn fat during use. Clean the stones when they have become very soiled. You can clean the stones in two ways.
