OPERATION
Before first use
Carefully remove the grill from the packaging and retain the packaging for future
use.
Remove all stickers from the appliance.
Clean the outside of the grill with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
Clean the cooking plates (6, 13), the drip cups (14) and the cleaning / scraping
tool (16) thoroughly by hand or in the dishwasher.
Dry the cooking plates (6, 13) thoroughly, before reinserting into the appliance.
Open the appliance completely and set the function switch (9) to griddle.
When using the grill for the first time, we recommend to heat for at least 10 minutes
on medium setting to burn off any production residue.
The grill may produce an odor and emit smoke when first switched on, as residues
from the production process are eliminated. This is normal and does not indicate
a defect or hazard.
Grill usage
The grill can be used in 4 different ways. It can be used as a Panini press, an open
grill, griddle or contact grill.
According to the function you like to use, adjust the grill and its accessories.
Warning: Never let the power cord get in between the cooking plates

To use the grill in horizontal position, pull the hinge release lever (5) forward, while
the upper part is closed (ill.

Close the upper part (2), then operate the hinge release lever (5).
While holding the hinge release lever (5), turn the upper part all the way back until
it lays flush with the lower part (1) (ill.
