OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before first use
Remove all labels, stickers and tags, except
for the technical information label.
Clean the appliance according to
the directions in the “Cleaning and
maintenance” section.
Do not submerge the appliance in water
and do not pour water directly onto the
appliance.
For best results, lightly grease the nonstick
plates with a little cooking oil.
Warning: do not use this product to cook
or defrost frozen foods. All foods should be
completely defrosted before cooking them
with this product.
Note - during the first minutes of operation
(on the first use only), the appliance may
produce some smoke that will disappear
right away. This is normal and does not
affect the safety or operation of the
appliance.
Use
Fully unwind the power cable.
Place the appliance on a flat and horizontal
surface, such that the power cable is not
stretched out.
Lightly grease the nonstick plates with
cooking oil.
Plug the power cable into the electrical
socket. If using an extension cable, make
sure it is grounded. The power indicator light
will turn on, indicating that the appliance is
connected to the electrical current.
Rotate the thermostat control knob
between the Min and Max position,
depending on the food to be cooked. The
operating indicator light will turn on.
Unlock the plates by moving the lock/
elevation lever to the unlocked position.
Warning: the nonstick plates and appliance
surfaces can heat up during appliance
operation. To prevent the risk of burns, only
touch the appliance by its handle.
Allow the nonstick plates to preheat for 5
to 7 minutes. The operating indicator light
will turn off, indicating that the appliance is
ready to cook.
Use the handle to lift the upper plate.
Place the foods on the lower plate using,
if necessary, a wooden or heat-resistant
plastic utensil.
Warning: do not use metal utensils on the
nonstick plates, as this may irreparably
damage the nonstick coating.
Use the handle to lower the upper nonstick
plate.
Note - the operating indicator light may
turn on and off during cooking, which is
normal and does not affect the operation
of the appliance.
