LOCKING THE LID TO THE BASE
You may carry the appliance conveniently by the lid handle. For this, simply lock the lid
to the base of the appliance via sliding the height control clip to the “LOCK” position.
In this case, the lid will not open, when moving the appliance to an upright position.
Important: The “LOCK” position of the height control feature may only be used for
moving and storing the appliance. For operation or cleaning, do not forget to
unlock the lid by sliding the height control clip to the “OPEN” position first. With
the height control clip in the OPEN” position, the lid will open easily and without
effort. Do not attempt to apply any force for opening the lid to avoid damage.
POSSIBLE POSITIONS OF THE LID
The Design BBQ Advanced Control can be used with the lid settled in three different
positions. You should prefer contact grilling (closed position; see below). Using this
method, your food will be cooked at both sides simultaneously in a time and energy
saving way. Additionally, the DESIGN BBQ ADVANCED CONTROL can be used
with the lid left in the upright open position or folded back by 180° to use the lid
as an additional grilling surface for placing your food.
Closed Position
For using this feature, close the lid during grilling. This feature is useful for pre-heating
the grilling surfaces and for grilling most types of food, that can be cooked at both
sides (e.g. meat). After placing your food onto the grilling surface of the base, fold
the lid down carefully onto your food. If required, adjust the lid via the height control
feature to the thickness of your food (see below). Using this method, your food will
be cooked energy saving in the quickest possible way, because both sides will be
cooked simultaneously.
Typical Usage: for burgers, boneless slices of meat, fish, vegetables. Grilling any
combination of ingredients (e.g. vegetables, meats, and cheeses) layered between
two pieces of bread or folded tortilla and pita.
Open Position
The lid is folded up to the upright position. After heating up, by the handle, careful-
ly fold the lid up until it remains in the stable upper position. Then place your food
onto the grilling surface of the base. During the grilling process, leave the lid in the
upright position.
Typical Usage: cooking items, for which the upper grilling plate is not needed (e.g.
kebab, fish, pizza, items with soft toppings), because they shall be heated at one
side only. Especially thick food (e.g. burger).
