How to cook another batch of food:

After finishing your first batch of food:

1. Make sure the appliance is closed with no food inside.

2. Select the appropriate cooking mode/program (this step is necessary even if you decide to pick the same cooking mode than for the previous batch of food).

3. Press the “OK” button: the appliance starts pre-heating. The pre-heating is symbolized by the cooking level indicator that flashes purple.

4. The pre-heating is complete when an audible beep is heard and the cooking level indicator stops flashing purple.

5. After the pre-heating, the appliance is ready for use. Open the grill and place the food inside the appliance.

Important:

- Please note that any new batch of food, the pre-heating phase is

mandatory. Remember to always have the grill closed and no food inside

in order for the pre-heating to effectively function.

- Then wait for the pre-heating to be complete before opening the grill and

place the food inside.

N.B.: if the new pre-heating cycle is carried out immediately after the end of the preceding cycle, the pre-heating time will be reduced.

Cook the food according to your personal taste (except for cooking food under 4 mm thick where the cooking cycle has been star ted by pressing 'OK').

If you want to cook food to different personal tastes, once you have placed it on the grill, open the lid and remove the food when it has reached the desired level and then close the grill and continue cooking the other food. The program will continue its cooking cycle until it reaches the 'well done' level.

25 Keeping warm function

When the cooking process has finished, the appliance will start the keep warm function; the indicator will switch to flashing red and will emit a beep signal every 20 seconds. If the food is left on the grill, it will continue cooking while the cooking plates cool down and during the keeping warm function. You can turn of the beep signal by pressing the 'OK' button. Comment: the safety system will turn the appliance off automatically after a certain amount of time.
