For your safety
• During use, surfaces will get hot and will remain so for some time even after the appliance
was turned off. Mind the risk of getting burned when touching the appliance! Keep the power
cord away from the hot cooking surface, as well as the power cords of other adjacent
electrical appliances.
• Do not operate the appliance without supervision. The safest manner to switch off the unit is
to pull the mains plug.
• Children are not aware of the dangers involved in the handling of electrical appliances.
Therefore, never let them operate electrical appliances unattended.
• Overheated fat or oil may ignite. This is why foods containing fat or oil must be prepared
under supervision only.
• The integrated overheating protection makes sure that the grill surface cannot overheat, not
even in continuous operation. If cracks, ssures or breakage is caused and if it may be
assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, immediately turn off the appliance and
disconnect the mains plug.
• Do not place any objects on top of the appliance, do not use it as a worktop and do not move
it when hot. Do not use it as a space heater.
• Never immerse the appliance into water for cleaning. Please also make sure that no water or
steam can inltrate the underside.
• This electric appliance complies with the relevant safety regulations. In case of signs of
damage to the appliance, the power cord or the sealing, or if the glass plate is broken,
immediately unplug the appliance. Repairs may be effected by authorised specialist shops
only. Improper repairs may result in considerable dangers for the user!
• When replacing the mains power line, HO5VV-F type or HO5RR-F type lines must be used.
Cleaning and maintenance
Switch off the appliance and unplug it. Then remove all food residues and splashes of oil from
the hot zone of the grill surface using the included cleaning scraper. This is done most easily if
you discard the residues from the hot zone into the fat-collecting channel right after the grilling
procedure. While doing so, protect your hands with an ovencloth or a cooking glove.
Then clean the cold grill surface with dishwater and wipe it dry with a clean cloth or kitchen
tissue. If food residues have burnt into the grill surface, soak them by dripping some dishwater
onto the glass plate.
If some stubborn residues are still left on the cold surface after that cleaning procedure,
you can remove them using an appropriate cleanser for Ceran
®
cooking surfaces. For this end
rub the entire grill surface with some drops of the cleaning agent using a kitchen tissue until
no residues are visible anymore.
Right afterwards the entire grill surface is wiped in wet condition several times
(e.g. with a kitchen tissue, sponge or cloth soaked with water). Then dry with a clean cloth.
Make sure no cleanser residues have remained on the grill surface.
Never immerse the appliance in water and use no steam jet appliances. Make sure no water or
steam may inltrate the appliance from below either. Never use abrasives, steel wool or sharp,
scratchy objects.
