Important

•Read these instructions carefully in conjunction with the illustrations before using the appliance.

•Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the mains voltage in your home.

•Only connect your appliance to an earthed wall socket.

•When using an extension cord, pay particular attention to the following:

-the cord should be earthed (3 wires with corresponding plugs);

-the cord should be completely unwound (especially with closed cord reels);

-the cross-section of each wire should be at least 1 mm2 (cord suitable for current rating 10 Ampere.)

•If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by Philips or their service representative, as special tools and/or parts are required.

•The mains cord of this appliance should regularly be examined for signs of damage. Never use the appliance if the mains cord is damaged.

•It is recommended to supply the appliance through a residual current device (RCD) having a tripping current not exceeding 30 mA.

•WARNING: Charcoal or similar combustible materials must not be used with this appliance.

•Ensure that the barbecue/grill is placed in a safe and stable position. Allow enough free space around the appliance.

•Do not place the appliance on a vulnerable surface (e.g. table cloth, varnished table top, over parquet or carpet).

•Ensure that nobody stumbles over the mains cord or pulls it while using the appliance. Make sure that the cord is not in the way.

•Keep the mains cord away from the hot parts of the appliance.

•The appliance will become very hot during use. Ensure that no objects remain on or leaning against the appliance after switching on.

•Keep a watchful eye on children: especially when the appliance is hot.

•Before use, always fill the outer tray with water up to the “MAX” indication, but never pour more than 1.5 litre of water into the outer tray.

•Ensure that there is always water in the outer tray during use, refill regularly.

•Never pour water on the heating element.

•Avoid overheating: never cover the grill entirely with aluminium foil.

•IMPORTANT: It is not advisable to grill fatty meat (like large sized chicken legs, and especially their skin, as these contain much fat). The fat would drip on to the heating element, causing flames which would set the food burning.

We advise you to pre-cook large fatty chicken legs in boiling water (20-25 minutes), or partially cook them in a microwave oven before grilling, to remove most of the fat. This also guarantees that the food will be well-done, which is important for your health.

•In the course of time some disolouration of the inner wall of the outer basin may occur due to scale setting. This is quite harmless.

•Clean the appliance as indicated. Never immerse the heating element and/or the control panel in water.

•Remove the plug from the wall socket immediately after use and allow the appliance to cool down.

•Avoid touching the heating element.
