exist between the appliance and an ef­fective grounding system. It is impera­tive that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the
electrical system of the house checked
by a qualified electrician. The manufac­turer cannot be held responsible for
damages caused by the lack, or inade­quacy of, an effective grounding sys­tem.

Correct usage

cannot be held responsible for dam­ages caused by improper use of the
grill.

Warning and safety instructions

Protection from damage

Do not use any type of aluminium

products including pots, pans, and
foil on the grill. Aluminium will cause
overheating and may damage the grill
grate.

Do not drop anything on the ce-

ramic surface. Even a light object
could cause damage in certain circum­stances.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

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

In areas subject to infestation by

cockroaches or other vermin, keep
the appliance and its surroundings
clean at all times. Any damage caused
by pests will not be covered under war­ranty.

Warning and safety instructions

Protection from burns

The appliance becomes very hot

when in use. Make sure that no
one comes in contact with it. The heat­ing element and grate may be hot even
though they are dark in color.

Do not store toys or items of inter-

est to children in cabinets above
or behind the appliance. Children
climbing onto the grill to reach these
items may become seriously injured.

Do not allow children to operate or

play with, or near, the grill.

Use only dry, heat resistant pot-

holders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let the potholder
touch the hot heating element. Do not
use towels or other bulky items near
the appliance.

Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting

or hanging garments should never
be worn while cooking.

Extinguish flames immediately

Replace the lava rocks regularly.

Rocks saturated with oil or fat
catch fire easily. The grill trough and
the lava rock container should be
cleaned after each use to keep them
free of oil and fat.

Never put water or ice on to a hot

grill. This can cause a serious reac­tion leading to injury.

Do not use water on grease fires.

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

Do not store aerosols, combus-

tibles and/or any other easily
flammable materials underneath or ad­jacent to the grill.

Do not heat unopened food con-

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

Do not store items on the grill

when not in use.

Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate
on the appliance.

Do not leave the appliance unat-

tended while in use. Overheated
food can ignite.

Warning and safety instructions

Further safety notes

When using a portable appliance

make sure that its power cord
does not come into contact with the
cooktop.

Always make sure food is suffi-

ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors affect the overall cooking time,
including the size and amount of food,
its temperature, and the recipe. Some
foods may contain microorganisms that
are only destroyed by thorough cook­ing. If in doubt, select a longer cooking
or reheating time.

Always cook pork thoroughly to en-

sure that the meat is safe to eat.

Before discarding an old ap-

pliance, remove the power cord
and any doors to prevent it from be­coming a hazard.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND
REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY

Throughout the manual, important
safety items will be highlighted in
boxes and should be read in con­junction with these “Warning and
Safety instructions.”
