Prevent fire hazards
and injuries
• Place your Contact Grill on an even,
nonslippery and heat-resistant base and
never on or near other appliances that
may radiate high levels of heat
(e.g. toaster or cooking-range).
• Do not operate the appliance near
inflammable objects, for example,
close to curtains or near tissue paper
roles in the kitchen.
• Even during general use, some of the
components of the appliance become
very hot (e.g. the top and bottom hou-
sing plates). Do not touch the surface
immediately after switching off the appli-
ance until it cools down completely.
• To prevent possible overheating,
always unwind the power cord in
its entire length.
• While operating, you can open or close
the Contact Grill safely using the heatin-
sulated handle.
• Never operate the appliance without pro-
per supervision. Provide supervision, if
children or frail individuals are allowed to
operate the appliance.
• After use, allow the appliance to cool
down completely before you clean and
store it away.
Prevent damages to
the appliance
• Use a plastic or wooden spatula or any
other suitable non-metallic utensil to
remove the food items so as not to
damage the non-stick coating of the
Contact Grill's hot plate.
• For the same reason, do not use any
corrosive detergents or pointed instru-
ments when cleaning the appliance.
Before you use the appliance for
the first time
1. Unpack your new Contact Grill and
remove all extra fittings such as plastic
wrappers and cable clamps meant for
protection during transportation.
2. Read the directions for use carefully.
3. Install the appliance as described in the
safety precautions.
4. Clean the new Contact Grill with a wet
cloth as described under "Cleaning &
Maintenance".
When using the Contact Grill for the
first time, you may notice fumes
caused by heating. These fumes are
not injurious to health; however,
initially they may affect the taste of
your first few dishes.
Therefore, before preparing any food
items for the first time, we advise you
to switch on the Contact Grill once
without any food items and allow it to
heat up at the maximum temperature
setting for 15 minutes.
