The appliance must only be connected by an

authorised specialist, paying attention to the
relevant regulations of the power supply companies
and the regional construction regulations.

Caution! The appliance gets hot during operation.

Keep it out of the reach of children!
Observe caution with oils and fats. They may

The appliance must be installed and connected by
a specialist before it is operated for the first time.

Grilling involves browning and cooking through
intensive heat radiation or conduction without or
with only a small amount of fat. Grilling involves a
temperature between 250 and 270 °C. The heat
radiation is absorbed by the food.
The following foodstuffs are suitable for grilling:
Fish, meat, poultry, fruit, vegetables and special
cakes and biscuits.
The unit features two separately switchable
grilling elements. So, you have a possibility
of grilling separate foodstuffs with differing
temperature requirements at the same time. You
can also save energy with smaller or small numbers
of grilled pieces.
