INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Once the appliance has been correctly assembled and you are ready to start cooking,
switch the temperature selector button in a clockwise direction to select the desired
temperature. On plugging the unit into the mains supply, the thermostat should be
positioned to 0º; the ON light will come on (red), and then the green READY light will
come on. On adjusting the temperature with the thermostat, the green ON light will
switch off, until it reaches the selected temperature.
Depending on the temperature selected, the plate can take a maximum of 8 minutes
to reach the programmed temperature. Once the thermostat has reached the
programmed temperature, a green light on the temperature control switch selected
will light up indicating that the appliance is ready to use. While operating the light
will continue to go on as the thermostat regulates the temperature. This is absolutely
normal in this product.
The temperature controls are used to regulate and maintain the temperature of the
cooking surface. The position of the temperature selector button may vary at any time
during cooking, as this depends on the type of food on the grilling plates.
