base frame.
0 Apply a little cooking oil to the surface
of the heater plate each time before
use with the aid of kitchen paper for
better non-stick properties.
0 Place splash guard (4) on heater plate
if necessary. The slots in the splash
guard must engage securely in the lugs
on the heater plate.
Use of the splash guard is particularly
3
recommended for grilling items con-
taining fat. The splash guard also
serves as wind protection out of doors.

not damaged when turning the grilling
items!

Practical tips

• The grill bars (3/a) are ideal for the
preparation of meat, fish and poultry.
Fat and juice can fall into the drip tray
through the grill webs. This ensures a
healthy, low-fat preparation.
• The grill surface (3/b) is ideal for
example for the preparation of eggs,
ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions,
etc. It is also very well suited for keep-
ing food warm.
• Tender pieces of meat are best suited
for grilling.
• Pieces of meat such as from the shoul-
der or neck become more tender if
marinated overnight.
• Grill tongs should be used but not
forks to turn the grilling items. They
will then remain juicy inside and not
dry out.
• The grilled food should not be turned
too frequently. When the items are
browned on both sides, they should be
finished at a lower temperature. The
food does not dry out and is cooked
more evenly.

Cleaning and care

Withdraw the mains plug every time
1
before cleaning!
Dry all parts thoroughly before putting
away. Ensure that the plug contacts of
the heater plate are dry before con-
necting the thermostat to the heater
plate. If necessary, wipe over with a
cloth or shake out water thoroughly.
Thermostat
Note that water must not penetrate
1
inside the thermostat under any cir-
cumstances! Never clean under run-
ning water or even in rinsing water.
0 Clean thermostat with a moist cloth.
Heater plate, splash guard
The components of the heater plate are
fully sealed. This can therefore also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
