HIGH TEMPERATURES—RISK OF BURNS
CAUTION: Hot surface!
The Table-Top Grill is designed for cooking food.
For this purpose, the grilling areas are heated up to 482 °F (250 °C) at the
maximum. Thus, improper handling could cause severe injuries and damage.
Please keep this in mind to avoid scalds and damage.
• The grilling area, oil tray, frame of the grilling top, lid and housing of the appliance can
be very hot during operation and thereafter. Additionally, during preparation of your
food, hot steam and splashes could escape. Do not touch the hot surfaces with any parts
of or your body or any heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive objects during operation or
when still hot. Only touch the appliance and its parts at the handles and operating ele-
ments during operation and when still hot. Protect your hands and arms with oven gloves.
Do not leave any foreign objects on the hot grilling plate (e.g. grilling shovels, barbecue
utensils, temperature probe).
• Do not operate the appliance without the oil tray properly in place.
• Do not spill or pour any water on the grilling area during operation or shortly thereafter.
Water could explosively vaporize on the hot grilling plate, thus leading to risk of severe
scalds and damage.
• Do not move the appliance when still hot. Always leave the appliance and all its parts
cool down before moving the appliance, emptying the oil tray or cleaning the appliance.
Do not place the appliance on heat-sensitive surfaces for operation or when hot.
• Even with the lid properly closed, steam could escape from the lid during operation and
shortly thereafter. Condensate could accumulate under the lid and drip, when opening
the lid. Beware of hot steam and condensate when opening the lid.
•
Do not place the temperature probe on the grilling area! The cable and
handle of the temperature probe may never touch hot surfaces.
Otherwise,
the temperature probe will be damaged. Only insert the tip of the temperature probe
into your food. For this, it is best to hold the temperature probe in your hand. Immedia-
tely after measurement, do not place the temperature probe on heat-sensitive surfaces.
•
DO NOT cook any high-proof alcoholic liquid or alcoholic foodstuffs (e.g.
mulled wine, grog) on the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and fire.
The appliance is not suited for flambéing.
NON-STICK COATING
The grilling tops of your Table-Top Grill are provided with a non-stick coating. Do not use
hard or sharp objects for scratching, stirring, or cutting on the coatings. We will not be lia-
ble for damage to the non-stick coating, if metal utensils or similar objects have been used.
Please adhere to the following precautions:
•
Before first use
, wipe the non-stick coatings of the grilling tops with a little cooking
oil. Thereafter, there is no need to add any further oil for cooking.
• Do not use the grilling tops, if the non-stick coating is scratched, cracked or detached
due to overheating.
• Only use wooden or heat-resistant plastic cooking utensils with the appliance. Do not use
any spray-on non-stick coatings.
