Remedy

Check that the grill fryer is

switched on. Check the HPFI/HFI

relay in the main fuse box. Check

the fuses for the grill.

trical appliances in use at one go.

If your grill is connected to a 10

Amp fuse group, there is a high

risk of overload.

Child safety has been activated.

You can either press

at the

same time as you press a setting,

or you can deactivate child safety,

see Section “How to use ... Child

safety”

Autostop has been activated. Press

Before Use

Before using the appliance for the

first time, clean off any factory

residues such as dust or dirt. Give

the ceramic hob a protective coating

before using it. This will make it

easier to clean the hob and will pre-

vent spills etc. burning on too firmly.

This is what you do:

1. Remove the grill rack and the

aluminium panel.

2. Sprinkle a few drops of ceramic

hob cleaner onto some kitchen

paper and rub the whole hob sur-

face with the cleaner.

3. Polish the hob with a clean cloth

until it is dry.

Do not put the grill rack in

the dishwasher. Do not

immerse the connector in

water.

Wash the grill rack and grill pan in

hot water and washing-up liquid

before using the grill for the first

time.

The sensor fields have to be touched

for at least 1 second before they are

activated.

Grill

How to use

Touch controls

Never use a cracked ceramic

hob. On spillage liquid may

penetrate into live parts. Cut

the power to the devise and

contact our Service Centre

(see section “Service and

Spare Parts” for contact

phone number).

Never turn the grill on

before the grill pan has been

put in and the grill rack is in

place. Never leave the appli-

ance unattended when

grilling or melting fat, paraf-

fin wax or other easily ignit-

ed substances.

Never leave paper, dish

cloths, aluminium foil or

any other easily ignited

materials in the immediate

vicinity of the grill. The grill

gets hot enough to ignite

flammable materials. In case

of fire, turn off all control

knobs and switch off any

cooker hood. Put out the fire

with a lid, and never use

water. Check that the grill is

turned off when not in use.

To optimise joints between the installed hobs, the gap between the ceramic hob

may be grouted with silicone:

1. Remove the aluminium panels from the hobs.

2. Apply a stripe of silicone to the gap between the two ceramic hob. Use only

the silicone supplied, as it is designed to tolerate the appliance’s high temper-

ature. (Fig. 1)

3. Splash a little soapy water (washing-up liquid) on the silicone stripe

4. Press the rubber block hard against the ceramic hob and pull it slowly from

back to front (Fig. 2)

5. Leave the silicone to harden until the next day.

6. Remove surplus silicone coating from the ceramic hob with the razorblade

supplied. Be careful not to damage the silicone in the gap. Run tools only

along the joint, never across it.

7. Polish the ceramic hob with the supplied cleaning product for ceramic hobs.

Mounting:

When mounting several hobs together you must use a reinforcement beam

between each hob as well as the silicone supplied with the hobs (see fig.)

1. Cut a hole of the calculated size in the table top

2. Place the individual hobs upside down on a mat. Take care that the top side is

not scratched.

3. Mount the clamping fittings in the holes in the side of the base panels (see

fig.)

4. Place the first hob in the hole.

5. Apply silicone to the two corners joining the next hob (see fig.)

Use only the silicone supplied with the hobs as this is intended to tolerate the

high temperatures of the appliance.

6. Push a reinforcement beam up against the hob. Apply silicone on the rein-

forcement beam (see fig.)

7. Tighten the clamping fittings to the table top using a screwdriver.

8. Repeat the process for the other hobs.

Silicone

Grill

1. Put the grill pan containing the

lava rocks in the grill.

2. Holding the grill rack with both

hands, guide it back at an angle

until it slots into place on the

grill.

3. Lower the front of the grill rack

until the connector engages.

If you are going to grill very fatty

food, you can replace the lava rocks

in the grill pan with water if neces-

sary. If you do this, the fat will drip

into the water and cool so quickly

that it cannot ignite. When using

water in the grill pan, keep an eye on

how much water is left and top up if

necessary.

Allow the grill to warm up on level

9 for 10 min. before starting to cook.

The grill can be set from 0-9, where

9 is the highest level. Grilling is

done between levels 6 and 9.

1. Press

2. Press

to adjust the grill.

Adjustment of the grill must take

less than 10 seconds, otherwise the

grill will turn off again.

Press

to adjust the grill level by

level from 0-9.

Press

to adjust the grill level by

level from 9-0.

If you keep pressing

, the

adjustment will be quicker - the grill

will run through the adjustment lev-

els 1-9 and stop when you reach "0".

Turn the grill off by pressing

When the grill is turned off "H"

appears on the display until the grill

has cooled down.

Residual Heat Indicator

Safety Turn-off

If one of the buttons is pressed for

more than 10 sec, (e.g. by a child,

cooking utensil, spilt food, etc.), the

grill will be turned off automatically.

A hob of 720 mm + a downdraft of 180 mm + a gas hob of 360 mm.

1. 720+180+360= 1260 mm

2. Width of the hole: 1260-20=1240 mm
