Using Your Design Grill
First use
1. Carefully unpack the appliance and place it on a suitable heat-resistant, level surface (see
Important Safeguards).
2. Remove any promotional stickers and packaging materials before use. Do NOT remove
warning hints and the model label.
3. Slide the grilling height control on the right metal arm of the top plate to the OPEN posi-
tion. Then lift the top plate by the handle and ensure, that there are no foreign objects on the
cooking plates.
WARNING! Switch off, unplug and allow to cool down, before moving or cleaning the appli-
ance. Do not immerse the appliance or the power cord in water or other liquids or spill any
liquids on the appliance.
Do not place the appliance in an automatic dishwasher.
Note: Before first use and after a long period of storage, check that the cooking plates are
clean and free of dust. Wipe over with a damp cloth (see: Care and Cleaning).
4. Then dry thoroughly and wipe the non-stick coating of the cooking plates with a little
amount of oil. This is to prepare the non-stick coating for use.
Note: When using the Professional Grill for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze.
This is caused by the first heating of some of the components. There is no need for concern.
To prevent smell and taste of your food from being affected, you should heat the appliance
on the SEAR position of the temperature dial for same minutes before placing any food on the
cooking plates.
1. Prepare the grill for use (see Operating Your Grill Barbecue). With the temperature dial on
the SEAR position, wait about 15 minutes.
2. Then select the required temperature dial setting and use the handle to lift the top plate to
the vertical position. If necessary, wait some minutes for the grill to cool down to the set tem-
perature before placing your food on the cooking plates.
If the smoke haze persists on further use, switch OFF the grill, unplug, allow to cool down and
clean the appliance (see: Care and Cleaning). If the problem still persists, return the applian-
ce to an authorised service centre for inspection.
You may use your Grill Barbecue as an open grill (with the top plate fold back) or as a clo-
sed grill. Prefer to keep the top plate closed for a shorter cooking time and to avoid an unne-
cessary high energy consumption.
