When using the Contact Grill for the first time,
you may notice fumes caused by heating. These
fumes are not injurious to health; however, initial-
ly they may affect the taste of your first few dis-
hes. 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.
