dry carefully with a cloth or kitchen roll.
• Place the appliance on a flat and heat resistance surface.
• Insert the connector (1) into the base (4), bearing in mind that the temperature selector
(2) is in the top position.
• Turn the temperature selector (2) to the desired position, according to the type of food
you are going to prepare using as a reference the selected temperature of the pilot
light position (3). Firstly it is advisable to put the selector to its highest position, to let
the grill reach, as soon as possible, a good temperature. After that you can, if you
consider it convenient, change the selector position.
• Plug into the mains. The pilot light (3) will go on.
• Wait approximately about 25-30 minutes to let the surface reach the correct

• Always use heat resisting utensils to move or turn the food over.
• We recommend you do not put big frozen pieces over the terracotta surface when it
is hot.
• The terracotta grill will help you to save energy, after switch off the grill,
because it will keep hot for a while, so you can continue using the grill to
finish the cooking. You also can bring the grill to the table to finish the cooking
or keeping warm the food.
