The lava stones absorb fat that comes out of the food when grilling.

2. Take hold of grill shelf firmly with

both hands and tilt it backwards

until it is in the fixture (A).

3. Lower grill shelf and insert the plug

in the socket (B).

3 With very fatty foods the lava

stones can be replaced with water.

A sufficient amount of water is im-

portant.

Socket has live parts and must be

protected from moisture.

Only fill up with water when pro-

tective plug is inserted in the sock-

et.

Operating the appliance

Switching the appliance on and off
