CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
–
Close supervision is required, if the appliance or any part of
it is in reach of young children!
The appliance is very hot during operation and
even some minutes after switching off. Always turn both control dials counter-clock-
wise to the stop (the LCD display gets dark), then unplug the appliance from the
power outlet and let the appliance cool down (lukewarm), before moving or clea-

the grilling plate.
WARNING
–
Do not immerse the housing of the appliance or the power
cord in water or other liquids or spill or drip any liquids on the housing. Do not

soaking these parts in warm dish-water before cleaning. Dispose of fat and meat
juices as compost or in a closed vessel in domestic waste.
Do not pour any fat,
juices or gravy in the sink to avoid clogging the outlet pipe.
