5. Place the grill (grating) OR griddle on the housing. There is only one orientation to place the grilling top correctly on the housing. If the grilling top is tilted on the housing, turn it by 180° and try again. When correctly inserted, the brim of the grilling top projects the brim of the housing by about 2 cm at all sides. 6. If requested, fold up the control unit by up to 30°. This way, you can get a better view on the controls. 7. Connect the appliance to the power supply. If you decided to use an extension cord: first connect the appliance to the extension cord, then connect the extension cord to the power supply. The screen and the PREHEAT and READY indicators will light up for 1 second. Then- with no key pressed-the control unit turns OFF, as the appliance toggles into standby mode. 8. Place the lid on the grilling top. Thus, the grilling area is protected against unintended touch and you will save energy during pre-heating. Cooking Your Food 1. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the appliance ON. The Table-Top Grill starts heating immediately in normal mode, where the screen shows the pre-set temperature 450 °F (232 °C), and the red PREHEAT indicator is illuminated. NOTE: As soon as you switch ON the control unit, the appliance starts heating and the grilling area is getting hot. 2. When switching ON, the screen shows the set temperature in °F (Fahrenheit). This is a common temperature unit in English speaking countries, whereas the Celsius scale is frequently used in many other countries. Select your preferred temperature scale by pressing the F/C button. 3. Press the - (decrease) or + (increase) buttons, until the desired temperature of the grilling area is shown on the screen (see: ´Modes of Operation`). When the set temperature is reached, the PREHEAT indicator goes out, the READY indicator illuminates, and three beeps sound. Now you can start cooking. Tip: Each time you press the - or + buttons, the set temperature is changed. The minimum temperature is 150 °F (66 °C). The maximum temperature is 450 °F (232 °C). When pressing the button for longer than 3 seconds, the set temperature moves automatically to the minimum (- button) or maximum (+ button). 4. Cook your food (see: ´Tips for Best Results`). During cooking, the appliance controls the temperature of the grilling area automatically. The alternation between red PREHEAT indicator and green READY indicator is a hint to the controlling process. Tip: Your food will cook more evenly with the lid placed on the grilling top. Additionally, this way, you can save energy and catch a lot of splashes. 5. If applicable, cover the grilling area with the lid, as soon as you placed your food on the grilling area. NOTE: When wrapping your food in aluminium foil, you should use the lid in any case. 6. You can change the set temperature of the grilling area at any time. Simply press the button + and/or -. After changing the set temperature, the appliance will sound an acoustic signal, when the new temperature is reached. NOTE: The temperature of the grilling area can only be changed in normal mode (probe icon NOT shown on the screen) (see: ´Using the Temperature Probe`). 41
