Using the Electric Grill
Electric grill
When grilling, the accessible parts of the
appliance are hot and the appliance should not
be left unsupervised. Take care that children
do not play near it. While the grill is operating
leave the oven door half open and put the grill
deflector “A” into place (fig. 5). During use the
appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken
to avoid touching heating elements inside the
oven, or the grill deflector.
