cool down sufficiently, empty the drip pan, clean the appliance and ensure, that the adjusta-
ble grilling height control is in the LOCK position. Before attempting to open the grill, always
slide the grilling height control into the OPEN position to release the lock of the top plate.
Open and close the grill with care, never attempt to open the top plate with violence. Always
use the handle in front of the top plate for opening the grill.

and any part of it on or near hot surfaces (i.e. burner, heater or oven).
• This appliance is for household use only and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles, out-
doors or in wet or humid areas.
Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances
Care must be taken when using any electrical appliance. Please adhere to the following pre-
cautions.
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requi-
rements of the appliance (220/240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for 16 A). Always connect the appli-
ance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall socket with protective con-
ductor (earth/ground) connected properly. The installation of a residual current safety switch
with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit
is recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
• Do not use any multiple socket outlet to avoid risk of fire or electric shock.
• It is recommended not to use any extension cords. Nevertheless, if you wish to use an exten-
sion cord, it must be connected properly with live, neutral and protective ground conductor
and a permanent loading range of at least 15 A (core diameter: at least 1 mm2).
• Never leave the appliance unattended while connected to the mains power supply. Always
switch off the appliance and unplug from the power outlet when not in use and before moving
or cleaning the appliance.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Always completely unwind the cord before use.
Do not place the appliance on a power cord. The power cord may never be knotted, twisted
or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Do not pull or strain the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always
grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Do not touch the power
plug, with wet hands when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
