energy and disposing of the appliance.
Tips on energy saving
▯ Pre-heat the appliance only until the required
temperature is reached.
▯ If you are preparing small amounts of food, use the
option to switch on the front or the rear grill
element only.
▯ Switch back to a lower grill setting in good time.
▯ Select an appropriate setting for subsequent
grilling. Using a grill setting that is too high wastes
energy.
▯ Use the grill's residual heat. For longer cooking
times, switch the appliance off 5-10 minutes before
the end of the cooking time.

Before using the appliance for the
first time
Before using the appliance for the first time
In this section, you can find out what you must do
before using your appliance to prepare food for the first
time. Read the safety information before you start.
Cleaning the appliance
Before using the appliance and accessory parts for the
first time, clean them thoroughly with lukewarm soapy
water.
Preparing the grill
1 Insert the grease drip tray.
2 Correctly insert the lava stone tray. The recesses in
the lava stone tray correspond to the recesses in
the base of the appliance.
6 Put the frame in place. Ensure that the frame is
lying flat and that the distance between the frame
and the wire rack is the same all round.
m Warning – Risk of burns!
The appliance parts become hot during operation. Only
operate the grill when the frame and wire rack inserted
correctly.
Heating the grill
Heat the grill for a few minutes at grill setting 9. This will
get rid of the new-appliance smell and any
contamination.
3 Remove the lava stones from the film and place
them in the lava stone tray.
4 Fold both grill elements downwards. The grill
elements must lie flat.
5 Put the wire rack in place. Position the wire rack so
that the feet of the wire rack fit into the recesses in
the lava stone tray. Ensure that the wire rack is lying
flat.

Operating the appliance
en
Operating the appliance
Operating the appliance
Switching on
The frame is cooler than the wire rack during operation.
Only use the surface of the wire rack for grilling.
The two grill elements can be controlled separately. This
means that you can grill foods that require different
temperatures at the same time. If required, you can
connect the two grill elements together and set the
same grill setting at the same time for both of them.
Press the control knob and turn it to the required grill
setting. The illuminated ring lights up white. If you do
not want to cook over the entire grill zone, switch on the
front or rear grill element only.
Overheating protection
To protect the appliance and the furniture, the grill
switches the heating elements off automatically when
overheated. After having cooled down, the appliance
switches on again.
Safety switch-off function
For your safety, the appliance has a safety switch-off
function. Any kind of heating will be switched off after
4 hours if the appliance controls are not used during
this time. The heating element will remain off after a
power failure. The illuminated ring on the control knob
is flashing orange and white alternately.
Turn the control knob to 0. You will now be able to start
the appliance again as usual.
The illuminated ring dims from white to orange while the
appliance is heating up. An audible signal sounds once
the set temperature is reached. The preheating phase at
grill setting 9takes approximately 10 minutes.
Connecting the grill elements
Push in any control knob and turn it to the ª symbol.
Push in the other control knob and turn it to the
required grill setting. Both grill elements are now at this
grill setting.
Switching off
Turn the control knob to 0. The operating light goes off.
m Warning – Risk of burns!
The appliance will remain hot for a long time even after
you switch it off. Do not touch the appliance while the
residual heat indicator is flashing.
m Warning – Risk of burns!
Do not close the appliance cover until the appliance has
cooled down completely. Do not operate the appliance
with the cover closed. Do not use the appliance cover
for placing objects or for keeping things warm.
Residual heat indicator
After switching off the appliance, the illuminated ring on
the control knob slowly flashes orange until the
appliance has cooled enough for it to be safe to touch.
Do not touch the appliance while the residual heat
indicator is flashing.

Tips for cooking and roasting
▯ The values given in the table of settings are only a
guide; you may need more or less heat depending
on the type and state of the food.
▯ Heat the appliance to the required temperature. The
illuminated ring will light up white. The illuminated
ring will dim from white to orange while the
appliance is heating up. An audible signal will
sound when the set temperature has been reached.
▯ Always preheat the grill. The intense heat radiation
will enable a crust to form quickly and prevent meat
juice from escaping.
▯ Before grilling, you can coat or marinate the food in
heat-resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil) to improve its
flavour. Take care not to use too much oil/marinade,
otherwise this could cause flames to form or
generate lots of smoke.
▯ Do not salt the meat before grilling. Otherwise
soluble nutrients and meat juice may escape.
▯ Place the food you want to grill directly on the wire
rack. Do not use aluminium foil or grill trays.
▯ Only turn the items on the grill over when they lift
off the wire rack easily. If meat sticks to the grill,
the fibres will be destroyed and meat juice will
escape.
▯ Do not pierce the meat while grilling it, otherwise
meat juice may escape.
▯ Cured meat such as ham and smoked pork chops
are not suitable for grilling. This can produce a
compound that is harmful to health.
▯ Score chops on the bones and in fatty layers
several times so that they do not curl up.
▯ Remove fatty layers after grilling rather than before,
otherwise the meat will lose juice and flavour.
▯ Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if
you baste it towards the end of the grilling time with
butter, salted water or orange juice.
▯ Fruit can be seasoned to taste after grilling with
honey, maple syrup or lemon juice.
▯ You can parboil vegetables that take a long time to
cook (e.g. corn on the cob) before placing them on
the grill.
▯ Grill fillets of fish on the skin side first. Coat the
skin with oil to prevent it sticking to the wire rack.
▯ Serve grilled food hot. Do not keep it warm, or it will
go tough.

m Warning – Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow the
appliance to cool down before cleaning.
m Warning – Risk of electric shock!
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam
cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage
Do not use these cleaners
