FRY-TOP STEAK GRILL
7.1 Before switching on the fry-top / steak grill
The first time it is used, the fry-top/steak grill griddle may develop an acrid or burnt smell caused by
oily residue from manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. To eliminate
this problem, clean the griddle as described in section “11.6 Cleaning the fry-top / steak grill” before
use.
7.2 Switching on
The fry-top/steak grill is equipped with differentiated heating. The entire surface of the griddle can
be used, or only one of the two halves, front or rear.
Position the control knob of the heating element to the required setting. The red light switches on
to indicate the appliance is working. Place the food on the griddle and cook as preferred.

food, as well as personal taste, the heat should be higher or lower.
