The cooktop surface can be hot after use. Do not touch it, as it may cause severe burns. Allow the cooktop to cool
down.
When preparing dishes which may spread hot food fragments, personal protective equipment should be worn to protect from
burns.
Make sure that the fl oor near the appliance is not slippery. This will prevent slipping, which can cause serious injuries.
Observe the food at all times and prevent it from burning during its preparation. Food left unattended can burn, which can cause
fi re and serious burns.
When preparing dishes, touch the cooktop surface only with utensils made of wood or plastic. The utensils should be able to
withstand the temperature generated by the cooktop. It is forbidden to remove and distribute food using hands.
If any food is left on the cooktop during or after preparation, remove the food remains before preparing another dish. Food remains
can be burned, causing smoke, unpleasant smell, and aff ect the taste of the prepared food. They may also be the cause of fi re.
Use utensils made of wood or plastic able withstand the temperature generated by the cooktop. Do not use sharp or metal uten-
sils. Such utensils can damage the cooktop surface.
If the preparation of a dish requires the use of oil, spread it on the surface of the cooktop with a soft brush. The appliance is not
used for preparing dishes by deep-frying.
APPLIANCE OPERATION
Installation, start-up and operation of the appliance
The appliance must be unpacked and all parts of the packaging completely removed. It is recommended to keep the packaging,
as it can be helpful for further transport and storage of the appliance.
Prepare the appliance according to the instructions specifi ed in the “Product Maintenance” section.
The appliance has two knobs: a temperature adjustment knob and a timer knob. Make sure that the temperature adjustment knob
is turned counterclockwise as far as it will go and the timer knob is set to 0 position. Plug the power cord plug into the socket. Set
the temperature adjustment knob between MIN and MAX. MIN means minimum temperature and MAX means maximum temper-
ature. Set the timer knob to the maximum time (30 minutes). The “Power” and “Ready” indicator lights will light up. This means that
the cooking plates are heating up. When the heating is fi nished, the “Ready” indicator light will go out.
If after setting the time, the “Ready” indicator light does not light up, it means that the set temperature is too low. Turn the temper-
ature adjustment knob in the MAX direction.
The appliance has a built-in thermostat, which allows to automatically maintain the set temperature. Each time the plate starts
to heat up, the indicator light lights up. The frequency at which the heater switches on is determined by the set temperature and
the ambient temperature. The higher the set temperature and the lower the ambient temperature, the more often the heater will
be switched on.
Care must be taken when placing the food between grill plates. If necessary, adjust the temperature and/or time settings.
After measuring the set time, the timer will automatically switch off the appliance, both indicator lights will go out. The appliance
can be switched off at any time by turning the timer knob to the 0 position. When 0 position is reached, the appliance will emit a
sound signal.
The grill has a lid which can be used in two ways. The closed lid allows food to be toasted on both sides. The lid is attached to the
handle by means of a lathe, which allows the height of the lid to be adjusted to the prepared food.
The lid can also be unfolded completely, making it possible to enlarge the cooking area. After opening the lid at a right angle, press
and hold the button inside the hinge (II), then unfold the lid completely (III).
The lid handle then acts as the base of the lid.
The grill has a pull-out drip tray, which allows for temporary storage of e.g. fat melted from food during heating. The tray is slid into
a special place in the base of the appliance (IV). The cooking plate has a gap in the edge (V), which allows fat to fl ow from the
cooking plate to the tray. If the lid is fully opened, make sure that the drip tray is under the gap of both cooking plates.
WARNING! Special care should be taken when opening the heated lid. Use gloves to protect against high temperatures, grasp
the lid only by the handle.
The cooktop heats up to a high temperature, contact with unprotected body can lead to serious burns. When preparing food, care
should be taken not to touch the cooktop, and the cooked food should checked using appropriate utensils, e.g. pliers or paddles
made of plastic or wood.
When selecting utensils, it is important to take into account whether they can withstand the temperature generated by the cooktop.
Do not use metal utensils or utensils with sharp edges. Such utensils can damage the cooktop surface.
