Use barbecue utensils of wood or heat-resistant plastic. Do not use any metal utensils.
The green READY indicator may turn on and out during operation. This simply indicates that
the appliance is holding the set temperature.
10. It is best to close the lid whenever possible. The lid is assembled to floating hinges and can
be adjusted to the thickness of your food: approx. from 1 cm to 5.5 cm.
Hold the lid by the handle in the desired height, while sliding the height control clip towards
the hinge of the lid to the stop. See: Height Control Feature.
Tip:
Especially with soft food (Burger, fish, delicate vegetables) the lid should only touch the
food slightly without pressure. The lid is assembled using a floating hinge, thus lying evenly
on the food.

after some minutes.
