splash from the appliance. Always keep your hands and arms as well as any other
objects in sufficient distance to the appliance during operation to avoid scalds and
damage. Ensure, that all persons stay in sufficient distance to the appliance during
operation. Always use the handle for opening the grill. Take care not to upset the
appliance, when lifting the top plate to the vertical position.
2. Allow the Design Grill-Barbecue Advanced to preheat until the red HEATING
power indicator goes out. Then use the handle to carefully lift the top plate to the
vertical position. The top plate will come to a stand in this position.
3. Place meat or foods to be cooked on the base plate. Refer to grilling recipes or
the grilling guide in this booklet for cooking times.
CAUTION!
Do not use any sharp or hard objects for scratching or cutting on the
cooking plates.
4. When the food is cooked, remove it using a wooden or heat-resistant plastic
spatula.
Note:
Use the timer to monitor the time elapsed during preheating or cooking (see:
›Timer dial‹). The timer will ring once when the set time has elapsed. The grill will
not turn off, but will remain heating.
5. Use the handle to close the top plate.
Only touch the top plate by the handles. The top plate has a
floating hinge system that is designed to press down evenly
on the food. The grilling height control on the right metal arm
of the top plate is used to adjust for the thickness of the food
(up to 8 cm). The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve
grill marks onto the food. To adjust the top plate, slide the
grilling height control to the desired position (see: ›Adjusta-
ble grilling height control‹).
The grill can also be used to cook delicate ingredients such as fish and hamburger
buns without squashing. The levelling handle on the right front side of the top plate
of the grill may be used to even out the top plate.
6. When the food is cooked, use the handle to carefully lift the top plate until it
stops in the vertical position.
Cook your food to the desired doneness. If necessary, open the grill and make a
check on the results. Beware of hot steam and condensate when lifting the top plate.
7. Remove the food using a wooden or heat-resistant plastic spatula. There is no
need for waiting for the appliance to re-heat before placing other food on the coo-
king plates.
