Operation

Before first use

Please observe the following notes before grilling on your new appliance for the first time:

1 Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories. 2 Take the lava stones out of the plastic wrapping and

pour them into the lava stone trough.

3 Tilt down both heating elements. The heating

elements must lie flat.

4 Place the cast grill onto the heating elements and

heat up the grill on level 12 for some minutes. This
will eliminate any ‘newness’ smells and soiling.

Switching on

Residual heat indicator

The luminous discs behind the control knobs flash after
switching off, to indicate that the appliance has still not
cooled down to such an extent that it can be touched
safely.

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.

Operation with the cast roaster

The cast roaster is particularly suitable for preparing
chopped or liquid foods, vegetables, sweets and egg
dishes.

Note: The appliance features independently controlled
heating elements. This allows it to simultaneously grill
foods which need different grill settings.

1 Press down the control knob and turn it to the

required level. If you grill only a small amount of
food you have the possibility to switch on only the
front or the rear grill heating element.

2 The luminous disc behind the control knob flashes.

When the temperature is reached, the luminous
disc lights constantly. Pre-heating the grill to
level 12 will take approx. 15 minutes.

3 After preheating, place the food on the grill.

Place the cast roaster on the rear heating element after
taking of the rear cast grill. You can grill on the front
cast grill simultaneously while grilling on the cast
roaster.

You can order additional cast roasters from your
specialist dealer (large or small).

Note: Do not take out the lava stone trough and the lava
stones when operating the grill with the cast roaster.

Grilling with the cast roaster: 1 Take off the rear cast grill. 2 Carefully place the cast roaster on the rear grill

heating element.

3 Turn the rear control knob to level 12. Preheat the

grill until the heating up signal goes off.

4 Brush some oil onto the cast roaster and place the

food onto the roaster.

Switching off

Turn the control knobs to 0.

m Risk of burns!

When the appliance cover is closed, heat will
accumulate. Only close the appliance cover when the
appliance has cooled down. Never switch the appliance
on with the appliance cover closed. Do not rest food on
the appliance cover or use it to keep food warm.

Settings table

Preheat the grill until the heating up signal goes off. The values must be looked upon as a guideline. The

heat required depends on the type and condition of the
food.

Tips and tricks

▯ Always preheat the grill. In this way, the intensive

heat radiation will seal the surface of the grilled
food and juice cannot leak.

▯ To avoid drying out of the surface and to improve

the taste, lightly brush grilled food with heat-­resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil). Make sure you do not
use too much oil as otherwise the oil may flare up or
smoke heavily.

▯ Always grill meat unsalted. Otherwise, meat juice

and soluble nutrients might leak and be lost.

▯ Place the food directly on the cast grill. Do not use

aluminium foil or grilling trays.

▯ Turn grilled pieces over as soon as they can be

removed easily from the grill. If meat sticks to the
grill, the fibres are destroyed and juice leaks out.

▯ Do not pierce the meat while grilling it. It may lose

its juice.

▯ Avoid pickled foods such as boiled ham and

smoked pork etc. otherwise a substance may be
produced that is harmful to health.

▯ Notch cutlets several times on the bone and in the

fat layer so they do not curve during grilling.

▯ Do not remove the fatty layer (e.g. on a cutlet) until

after grilling as otherwise the meat will lose juice
and aroma.

▯ Poultry will become crispy brown if you coat it with

butter, salty water or orange juice towards the end
of the grilling time.

▯ Season fruit to taste after grilling with honey, maple

syrup or lemon juice.

▯ You can precook vegetables with a long cooking

time (for example corn on the cob, potatoes).

▯ Place fish fillet on the grill with the skin down. Coat

the skin with oil or flour in order to avoid it sticking
to the grill.

▯ Fish with a firm texture is particularly suitable for

grilling (e.g. salmon, tuna, monkfish).

▯ Serve grilled food hot. Grilled food will become

tough if you keep it warm.

▯ The grilling surface reaches its highest temperature

in the centre, the temperature is slightly lower at the
sides. Use the whole surface area when cooking
different foods which require slightly different
temperatures and frying times.
You can also set the two grill heating elements to
different levels. When selecting the food consider
that thinner food can be grilled at a higher
temperature and therefore needs a shorter grilling
time.
