Before Initial Use
CAUTION!
❐ Keep children and animals away from the packaging material. There is a danger of
suffocation, as well as other hazards!
❐ Please note: You might notice some smoke and a strange smell the fi rst time you use the
device. We therefore recommend that you initially heat up the device for a few minutes
WITHOUT any contents in order to burn off any production residues that may remain.
During this time, make sure the room is well ventilated, e.g. with wide-open windows!
❐ The device may contain production residues. To avoid harmful effects to your health,
thoroughly clean the device before you use it for the fi rst time. Never immerse the
device in water or other liquids to clean it.
❐ Do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning. These may damage
the device.
1. Unpack all parts and check the items supplied for completeness (see the "Items Sup-
plied and Device Overview" chapter) and transport damage. Remove all fi lms and
stickers that may be present. If the device does have any damage, do not use it(!),
but contact our customer service department.
2. Clean the device and grill plates with a soft kitchen towel and a little mild detergent.
Then dry the device well.
3. Place the device on a dry, heat-resistant, fl at surface with suffi cient clearance on all
sides and above (around 30 cm).
4. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed 230 V plug socket. Make sure that the
cable is not trapped between the grill surfaces! Move the temperature control to
the highest setting and allow the device to heat up for around 5 - 10 minutes to re-
move any possible production residues.
5. Switch the device off by pulling the mains plug from the mains socket.
6. Allow the device to cool down and then clean it again with a soft kitchen towel and a
little mild detergent. Then dry the device well.

the grill plate during and after use of the device. Only touch the device by the han-
dles provided and use oven cloths or kitchen gloves when handling the device. Only
clean, transport and store away the device after it has cooled down completely.
❐ If you have burnt yourself on a hot surface, cool the spot immediately with cold water
and consult a doctor immediately to get treatment for the burn.
