GRILLING INSTRUCTIONS

• In order to prevent overheating and to reduce smoke, fill the drip tray  or the base of the barbecue (for

models not supplied with a drip tray) with water (fig. 8) . The water level should be approximately  5
mm. above the "minimum" mark. Do not pour water onto the heating element. Top up the water level
as necessary during operation.

• Press the ON/OFF switch to switch the appliance on (if the appliance is fitted with two heating

elements, press both switches). The pilot lamp lights to show that the appliance is in operation.

• Pre-heat the barbecue for at least 5 minutes.
• Place the food on the grilling rack. The food should be distributed evenly over the grilling area.
• The dual-height grilling rack position makes it possible to grill all types of food to perfection.

To grill fish and vegetables, move the sliding height controls (located underneath the handles)
forwards to raise the grilling rack to the upper position.
For sliced fish and meat, lower the grilling rack by sliding the height controls towards the rear of the
appliance (fig. 9).
Refer to the table of grilling times and to the recipes.
Some models are fitted with two switches which control the two separate heating elements. When
grilling small quantities of food, these can be used to switch on a single heating element, thus saving
electricity. If these models are fitted with a rotating grilling rack and used with one heating element
only, use a fork or other utensil to turn the food instead of turning the rack itself. If the rotating rack
is used, insert the ring into the handle in order to hold thick foods in position while turning.

Never place any type of container on the barbecue when it is operating.
