power button (only "on-off" is flashing) and unplug the appliance. Remove any food

WARNING
of children younger than 8 years and animals. Do not move the appliance and

SOLVING PROBLEMS
Most problems during use can be solved easily via the hints in the following table.
Problem
The appliance reacts to
your input only hardly or
does not react at all.
After switching on the
appliance, you notice a
burnt smell. May be, smo-
ke escapes from under the
grilling plates.
You cannot open the lid.
– Do not leave the appliance unattended, while it is in reach
The Possible Reason The Easy Solution
A program is run-
ning: The entry buttons
are blocked.
There may be fat on your
finger tip or your skin is
very dry. The touchscreen
may be polluted with
splashes of fat.
The appliance is heated
for the very first time. In
this case, there is no need
to worry.
There are residues of food
on or under the grilling
plates.
The lid is locked to the
base.
This is intentionally implemented for preventing accidental
entries. If required, cancel the program (see: 'Properties
of Your New Contact Grill / Pre-Defined Programs').
Wipe your finger tip with a moist cloth. Remove splashes
from the touchscreen. Then try again. The appliance
issues an acoustic signal with each accepted input.
Prepare the appliance for operation according to the
instructions in chapter 'Before First Use'.
Switch off and unplug the appliance immediately. Leave
the appliance cool down. Remove the grilling plates. Clean
the heating chambers of the appliance (during use under
the grilling plates) and the grilling plates of base and lid
thoroughly (see: 'Care and Cleaning').
When removing the grilling plates after grilling, ensure that
juices from the grilling plates will not drip into the heating
chambers. Ensure that the heating chambers and the bot-
tom of the grilling plates are completely clean, before re-
assembling the appliance.
Slide the height control clip to the "OPEN" position. Do
not use violence!
