• Completely unroll the power cord, and plug in the appliance in a 230 V socket.
• Turn the thermostat button and choose the desired position. The indicator lights up and goes out as soon as the
desired temperature has been reached.
CAUTION: the baking plate will now get hot. Only touch the handles.
CAUTION: at first use, the appliance may release some smell or some smoke. This is normal.
• Now put the food on the plate.
CAUTION: do not use frozen food! Always defrost it first and dry it.
CAUTION: regularly check the content of the grease collecting tray to make sure it doesn’t run over.
• After use, pull out the plug from the socket and switch off the appliance.
• Let the appliance cool off entirely before moving it, removing the baking plate, empty the grease collecting tray or
cleaning it.

6. TIPS & TRICKS
• Bake sensitive food (e.g. fish or vegetables) on low heat.
• Slide the thermostat button to low heat to keep grilled food warm.
• Do not poke holes with a fork in juicy meat; otherwise it will dry out.
• Preferably use barbecue tongs to turn food around.
• Regularly turn your food for the best results.
• Season the food during preparation.
• Ensure all food is thoroughly cooked and warm before consuming.
For outdoor use:
• Heat the barbecue for around 20 minutes, depending on the circumstances, such as temperature and wind.
• Preferably grill with the lid closed to maintain the required temperature and to cook large pieces of meat, fish or hard
vegetables gently and evenly.
