click.

the grilling setting.

You can adjust the length of the cord by winding part of it round the
brackets on the base of the appliance.

on.

6 You can place the ingredients on the lower grilling plate when
the green ready-to-cook light has gone out.
For an optimal result, the ingredients should be placed in the centre of
the lower grilling plate.
While cooking, the green ready-to-cook light goes on and goes out
from time to time as an indication that the heating elements are
switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature.

7 Close the appliance.
Lower the upper grilling plate carefully onto the ingredients until the
auto-lock mechanism clamps the upper plate onto the lower plate.The
upper grilling plate now rests on the food, causing it to be grilled evenly
on both sides.
Do not lock the contact grill when grilling thick ingredients.
Never leave the operating contact grill unattended when grilling thick
ingredients.
8 Open the contact grill after 3-5 minutes.
The grilling time depends on the type of ingredients, the thickness of
the items and your personal taste.
See the table for the recommended grilling times.

9 Removing the grilled food.
Use a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g. a spatula) to remove the grilled
food from the contact grill. Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen
utensils.
