possible that production-related additives
such as grease could cause slight odour or
smoke. This is completely normal. Ensure
sufficient ventilation.
Free-standing or tabletop
appliance
(image C1)
To use the appliance as a free-standing app-
liance, the accessory parts for the feet must
be mounted. For this, proceed as follows:
1. First of all, screw both legs together.
2. Insert the end of the tube into the stand.
3. Push the tube FIRMLY into the stand until
the slits are no longer visible.
4. Put the housing of the grill so that it fits
tightly on the upper end of the tube.
5. If you wish to use as a tabletop appliance,
simply take the grill of the legs.
NOTE
Before starting grilling with the free-
standing appliance, make sure that it is
assembled correctly and is stable. The slits
should not be visible when tube is properly
inserted into the stand.
Mounting the handle of the cover
To mount the cover, proceed as follows:
1. Insert the screw through the washer as
well as the silicon ring and then through the
cover from below.
2. Hold the rosette with the handle of the lid
on the upper side of the cover.
3. Twist the screw into the lid handle with a
screwdriver and tighten it.
NOTE
►
Check the handle for firm seating be-
fore you use the cover.
Drip tray
Never operate the appliance without wa-
ter in the drip tray otherwise the appliance
may overheat, particularly when the cover is
fitted.
During grilling, the water evaporates and
therefore keeps the food to be grilled succu-
lent and savoury, particularly when the lid is
fitted. This enables you to grill a whole chick-
en under the cover without any problems.
The drip tray can be used as an aroma
depot (image D1): when grilling, water and
herbs or wine, beer, cognac - appropriate to
your dishes - can be poured into the drip tray.
The aromatised steam gives your grilled food
a very special taste.
Before grilling, always fill the drip tray (7)
with water up to the "MAX" mark.
Refill the drip tray after 1 1/2 to 2 hours
with approx. 1 l water.
When refilling the drip tray, do not pour
water over the hot heating element (9) but
over the opening in the middle of the grill
plate (image B1) instead.
Operation and use
General instructions
The food should be at room temperature
since frozen food requires longer to cook and
can also dry out.
To achieve the best results, preheat the
grill until the required temperature has been
reached.
