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.

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.

Before grilling
The grill can be used with or without lava rocks. When cooking without lava rocks, rising steam will keep the food moist. When using lava rocks, cooking results will be similar to barbecuing.
Preparing the grill:
Remove the grate, raise the heating element, and remove the lava rock container.
Fill the trough with water:
– up to line
when grilling without lava rocks, or
(about 2 quarts [2.5 l ])

The operating indicator lamp which is left of the control knob will illuminate when the appliance is switched on. It goes off after the appliance is switched off.
Safety cut-out feature
A safety cut-out switch prevents the heating element from turning on when it is raised.
– up to line
when grilling with lava rocks.
Replace the lava rock container, if so desired.
Lower the heating element and re­place the grate.
The grill can now be turned on.

Using the appliance
Grilling
While grilling, watch the level of water in the trough. If necessary, add more water.
Do not use aluminium dishes, pans, pots or foil on the grill. Never cover the the grill grate with aluminium foil. Aluminium will cause overheat­ingand may damage the grill grate.
Correct procedure:
Preheat the grill by setting it to "12" and allowing it to run for approxi­mately 5 minutes.
Grill meat for a few minutes at the highest setting to sear the outside and seal in the juices.
After searing, set the control knob to "9" or "10" to finish cooking the meat.
Turn the food frequently to prevent burning.

Tips on grilling
– To minimize splattering, dry moist
foods with paper towels before grill­ing.
– Salt meat after grilling to prevent it
from drying out.
– Marinating meats or fish before grill-
ing will often enhance their flavor.
– To help prevent the food from stick-
ing to the grate, brush un-marinated meats with a little oil before grilling.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning and care
Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this ap­pliance. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components for which the manufacturer cannot ac­cept responsibility.
Never use strong cleaners e.g. oven sprays, stain or rust removers. Scouring pads and abrasive clean­ing agents should only be used on the heating element.
Do not use any sharp pointed ob­jects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame and between the frame and the countertop.
Grate, Lava rock container, heating element
Allow the appliance to cool down. Clean the rack and the lava rock con-
tainer after each use with a solution of liquid dish soap and warm water. Allow to dry thoroughly. Soak to loosen any burnt-on food which can then be removed with a brush. Use a gentle scourer on any residue left on the grill element.
