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.

Switching on:

Turn the two control knobs to the required stage (1-9). You can turn on only one of the two heating elements or you can choose different switch settings. The pilot light lights up red.

Switching off:

And this is how to grill:

– Switch on the appliance as described above. – Heat up the grill at level 9 for about 7-8 minutes. – Switch back to a lower level after preheating.

Notes:

– Dry moist food well. – The moister the food is, the more smoke may be

produced!

– During grilling, dripping fat may flare up briefly.
