appliance or the packaging. Always keep the appliance where it is dry,
frost-free, and clean, and where young children cannot reach it. Do not
leave the appliance or any part of it unattended, when in reach of young
children.
• Do not place the appliance or any part of it in a range, or on or near
hot surfaces (e.g. burner, heater, or oven). Do not use any parts of the
appliance with any other device or for any other purpose. Before ope-
ration, always ensure that the appliance is assembled and connected
completely and correctly according to the instructions in this booklet.
Only operate the appliance with both grilling plates and the drip tray
inserted correctly. Do not operate the appliance without the drip tray to
