IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS

OR AREAS NEAR UNITS Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Protect your hands with oven mitts

or potholders when using the appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating elements. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the appliance.

Do not heat unopened containers.

Built-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

Never use the appliance to heat a

room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch fire.

Do not use the appliance until it has

been properly installed in the countertop.

Do not store items on the appliance

when not in use. Items could melt or catch fire from residual heat or if the appliance is turned on inadvertently.

Never cover the appliance with a

cloth. A fire may result.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

garments when operating the appliance, they may present a fire hazard.

Never leave an appliance

unattended at high settings or when cooking with oil or fat. Overheated oil could ignite. Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it heats.

Do not store aerosols, combustibles

or any other easily flammable materials underneath or adjacent to the appliance.

Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher on any fire or flame.

Do not use aluminum dishes, pans,

pots or foil on the electric barbecue. Never cover the electric barbecue grate with aluminum foil. Aluminum will cause overheating and may damage the grate.

Clean the lava rocks on a regular

basis and change them when needed. Fat-saturated stones can easily catch fire.

The water trough must always be

filled with water when the appliance is being used.

Make certain that the power cords of

small appliances do not come in contact with the appliance. The insulation of the cable could become damaged. Danger of electric shock!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To prevent burns and breathing

difficulty, allow the appliance to cool before cleaning. Some cleaners may produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot surface.

When wiping spills on a hot

appliance with a wet sponge or cloth, be careful to avoid steam burns.

Do not let flammable materials,

i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on the appliance.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

this appliance. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Do not use the appliance without the

splash guard and protection plates fitted (if required). See "Installation".

Before using for the first use

Clean the appliance

Clean the water trough and grates

with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish liquid, then dry with a soft cloth (see "Cleaning and care").

Wipe the other surfaces down with a

damp cloth and dry.

Heat the appliance

Metal components of the appliance have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time the appliance is heated.

The smell will dissipate after a short time and does not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.

Use

Prepare the appliance

You can use the electric barbecue with or without the lava rocks. Without the lava rocks: food will stay more moist, from the rising steam. With the lava rocks: the food will have a more pronounced grilled aroma and flavor.

Check that the drain valve is closed.

Remove the grate, raise the heating

element, and remove the lava rock container (if desired).

Turning On/Off

The electric barbecue is divided into two heating areas, which can be used and adjusted separately. For large quantities, you can use the entire surface for cooking. For smaller quantities, you can, for example, cook in the front and keep food warm at the back, using a lower setting.

To turn a heating area on, press the

appropriate control knob down and turn it clockwise a to the desired setting.

^ To turn a heating area off, turn the

control knob counterclockwise b to "0".

Fill the water trough:

–

if grilling without lava rocks with water up to mark a, with approx. 2 quarts (1.8 liters) of water (CS1312) 4 quarts (4.0 liters) of water (CS1322)

–

if grilling with lava rocks with approx 1 quart (1.2 liters) of water (CS1312) 2 quarts (1.8 liters) of water (CS1322

Return the filled lava rock container to the water trough (if desired).

The heating element can now be turned down.

Replace the grates.

When the appliance is turned on, the On/Off indicator when it is turned off.

Do not turn a heating area on without pressing the control knob down, and do not turn the knob past "12" to reach "0".

N comes on. It goes out

Use

Grilling

While grilling, watch the level of water in the trough. If necessary, add more water.

Do not use aluminum dishes, pans, pots or foil on the electric barbecue. Never cover the grate with aluminum foil. Aluminum will cause overheating and may damage the grate.

Turn one or both operating knobs to

power level "12". Pre-heat the electric barbecue with the rack(s) in place for approx. 10 minutes.

Make sure the operating knob(s) are set precisely to power level 12. If the knobs are not set to the exact position, the heating will not work with maximum power.

Set the power level.

Grill food as desired.

Tips

To minimize splattering, dry moist

–

foods with paper towels before grilling.

Marinate food before grilling, to

–

enhance the flavors.

To prevent sticking, non-marinated

–

items should be brushed lightly with oil before grilling. Only use oils that can tolerate high temperatures.

You can shorten the grilling time for

–

potatoes in foil and corn on the cob, by pre-cooking the potatoes for approx. 15 - 40 minutes (depending on the size) and the corn for approx. 10 - 15 minutes.

After grilling

^ Turn the appliance off.

^ After each use, clean the appliance

while it is still somewhat warm to the touch (see "Cleaning and care").

After grilling with the lava rocks check the condition of the rocks. If they are dark in color, they are saturated with fat and need to be cleaned or replaced. See "Cleaning and Care - Lava rocks".
