Safety advice and warnings

-Read these instructions carefully before switching on the appliance and keep them for future refer- ence.

Failure to follow and observe these instructions could lead to an accident.

-Before using for the first time, clean all the parts of the product which may come into contact with food, as indicated in the cleaning section.

Connection to the mains supply

The equipment should only be connected to an earth socket installed in accordance with the regula- tions. Make sure that the supply voltage corre- sponds with the voltage marked on the barbecue.

Important safety instructions

•Caution: do not, under any circumstances, cover the grill rack with aluminous foil, barbecue dishes or other items, as the resulting build-up of heat could cause irreparable damage to the grill.

•Before the appliance is used, the main body as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appli- ance must no longer be used.

•During operation, the barbecue must be placed on a level, heat-resistant surfaces, impervious to splashes and stains. When grilling food with a high fat or moisture content, splashes are not always avoidable.

•When using the appliance, be careful not to posi- tion it next to a wall or corner, and ensure that no inflammable materials are stored near it.

•Remember that food with a high fat or moisture content may tend to ignite.

•Always fill the grill pan with water before you switch on the appliance. The water helps to cool down the grill pan, reduces the build-up of smoke, and also facilitates cleaning.

Ensure that the water level is kept between the ‘Min.’ and ‘Max.’ markings at all times during use.

The water level indicator can be found inside the grill pan.

•Always ensure that the water level is kept above the ‘Min.’ mark. Water should be added regularly, while ensuring that it does not come into contact with the heating element. Take care to not pour water onto the heating element.

•Before the grill is used, always check that the heating element is correctly fitted in the grill pan and safely locked. Do not connect the grill to mains power until the grill pan has been filled with water.

•The barbecue must be supervised at all times dur- ing operation. For safety reasons, always keep it out of the reach of children.

•Do not, under any circumstances, use charcoal or any other solid or liquid fuel to operate the grill.

•Always bear in mind that the housing surfaces

as well as the heating element become very hot during operation. Even after the heating element is switched off, it must not be touched until it has sufficiently cooled down-there is otherwise a severe danger of burns.

•To avoid the risk of electric shock, the heating ele- ment and the power cord must not be immersed in liquid or even allowed to come into contact with it.

•Do not allow the power cord to touch any hot parts of the appliance.

•Always remove the plug from the mains supply socket

- in the case of any malfunction, and - prior to cleaning, and maintenance. - after use,

•The use of an extension-lead reel can cause a loss of power, possibly combined with a subsequent heat built-up in the cable. It is therefore necessary to unwind the cable completely if a cable reel is used.

•Before carrying, transporting or storing the grill, ensure that is has sufficiently cooled down. Pour out any remaining water after use.

•Ensure that the grill is not stored outdoors. Or in any other location where it might be subjected to extremes of temperature or high humidity.

•No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.

•This barbecue is designed for domestic use only
