Important: When using the appliance for the first time, you may notice a fine
smoke haze and some smoke may escape. This is caused by heating the compo-
nents of the appliance. There is no need for concern. To avoid any influence on
the taste of your food, you should let the appliance operate approx. 10 minutes
on maximum temperature (240°C / 460°F) without any food on it. If the smoke
haze persists on further use, unplug the appliance and leave it cool down to room
temperature. Then clean the appliance thoroughly, especially ensuring that no
residues of food stick to the grilling plates. If the smoke haze still persists, send the
appliance to an authorized service centre for examination and repair.
5. Before placing food on the grilling surfaces for the very first time: put the appli-
ance into service (see below: ‘Operation / Preparations’) and set the grilling tem-
perature to the highest possible temperature (240°C). Leave the appliance operate
for approx. 20 minutes with the lid closed. Thereafter, switch off the appliance by
pressing the ON/OFF button. Let the appliance cool down to room temperature.
Note
There is no need for concern, when heating up the appliance to the highest pos-
sible temperature without any food. The heating elements are temperature-control-
led, preventing the appliance from overheating, when operating the appliance
according to the instructions given in this booklet.
6. Wipe the grilling surfaces with some clean, damp kitchen towel. Then wipe dry thoroughly.
7. Drip some drops of cooking oil on a dry, clean kitchen towel and wipe the non-
stick coatings of the grilling surfaces to prepare the non-stick coatings for use.
The appliance is now ready for use.

objects on the grilling surfaces. Do not leave any food carbonize on the grilling sur-
faces. Do not place the appliance on heat-sensitive surfaces during operation.
