Instructions for the user

5. Using the fry-top (If fitted)
During normal operations, the appliance heats up considerably. Caution should therefore be used.
Do not allow children to approach the appliance. Do not leave the fry-top unattended while it is
on.
5.1 Before switching on the fry-top
The first time it is used, the fry-top griddle may develop an acrid or burnt smell caused by oily
residue from manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. To eliminate this
problem, clean the griddle as described in section “10.6 Cleaning the fry-top” before use.
5.2 Switching on
The fry-top is equipped with adjustable heating. The entire surface of the griddle can be used, or
only one of the two halves, front or rear.
Position the control knob of the heating element to the required setting. The red light switches on
to indicate the appliance is working. Place the food on the griddle and cook as preferred.
5.3 Heat Setting Guide
The following table offers only indicative values because, according to the thickness and type of
food, as well as personal taste, the heat should be higher or lower.
1 - 4 Maintaining the heat on the griddle
5 - 7 For light cooking
8 - 9 To grill
10 - 11 To grill thicker meat
11 For rapid warming and cleaning
