button "on-off" to restart the appliance.
• After switching on the appliance: For improving save operation, you need to
select and start a program or the "manual" mode, before the grilling plates get
hot (see: 'Operation / Setting the Grilling Temperature'). Locking the lid to the
base for moving and storing: Simply slide the height control clip to the "LOCK"
position. Thereafter, you may carry the appliance conveniently by the lid handle.
IMPORTANT - The "LOCK" position of the height control feature may only be used
for moving and storing the appliance. For operation or cleaning, do not forget to
unlock the lid by sliding the height control clip to the "OPEN" position first. With
the height control clip in the OPEN" position, the lid will open easily and without
effort. Do not use violence for opening the lid!
POSSIBLE POSITIONS OF THE LID
The variable positions of the lid allow to adapt the appliance to your requirements.
However, you should prefer contact grilling (closed position). Via this method your
food will be cooked at both sides simultaneously, reducing the required grilling time
and energy consumption.
NOTE
The program settings take the heat distribution into account, when the lid is closed.
Thus, it is crucial for correct operation of the program mode that the lid is closed
during grilling. When leaving the lid in the upright open position, an acoustic
signal reminds you to close the lid. If you leave the lid open for more than approx.
90 seconds, the upper grilling plate will be switched off completely with "OFF"
shown on the upper line of the display area. The program mode is not available,
when using the appliance as a table top grill.
• Closed Position—Contact Grill: This method is useful for pre-heating the
grilling plates and for grilling most types of food, that may be cooked at
both sides (e.g. meat). However, the thickness of the pieces may not be
more than 5.5cm. After placing your food onto the grilling surface of the
base, fold the lid down carefully onto your food. If required, adjust the
lid via the height control feature to the thickness of your food (see below).
Typical Usage: boneless slices of meat, fish, vegetables. Grilling any combinati-
on of ingredients between two pieces of bread (e.g. burgers, folded tortilla, pita),
pizza (adjust the height control feature accordingly).
• Open Position—Table Top Grill: The lid is folded back completely to
the flat 180° position, lying horizontally on the working space and there-
fore offering a second, completely separat grilling surface. As an additio-
