IB_286794_LB9.indb 3 07.09.17 15:28

■ 4 │ US-EN SKGL 1500 A1

9. Check the appliance for visible external damage before use.

Do not operate appliances that have been damaged or

dropped.

10. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug

or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in

any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized

service provider for examination, repair or adjustment.

11. Repairs on the appliance should only be carried out by

authorized service providers or the customer service depart-

ment. Improper repairs may put the user at risk. Furthermore,

this invalidates the warranty.

12. Defective components must always be replaced with original

13. Do not use the appliance outdoors.

14.

Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter, or

hazard.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California

to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Important cord information

This appliance has a polarized plug. To reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock, there is only one way this plug is intended to ﬁt into

a polarized outlet. If the plug does not completely ﬁt into the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed

electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

a) A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord)

should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming

entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power supply cords or extensions cords

may be used if they are used carefully.

IB_286794_LB9.indb 5 07.09.17 15:28

■ 6 │ US-EN SKGL 1500 A1

c) If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is

used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension

cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the

appliance;

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over

the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by

children, or tripped over unintentionally; and

3) If the appliance has a grounded plug, the cord set or

extension cord should also be a grounded 3-wire cord.

Additional safety instructions

► Ensure that the appliance never comes into contact with water

while the plug is inserted into a power outlet, especially if you

are using it in the kitchen and close to the sink.

► Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.

► Ensure that the power cord never gets wet or damp when the

appliance is in use. Route the cord so that it cannot be trapped

or damaged in any way.

► Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cords to be replaced

as soon as possible by a qualiﬁed technician or by our customer

service department to avoid the risk of injury.

► Set up the appliance as close as possible to the electrical power

outlet. Ensure that the power plug is quickly reachable in case of

danger, and also that there is no danger of tripping over the cord.

► The appliance must be connected to a power outlet with a pro-

tective earth. The supply voltage must match the speciﬁcations

on the rating plate of the appliance.

► Always disconnect the plug from the power outlet after use.

Simply turning the appliance oﬀ is not suﬃcient, as it remains

IB_286794_LB9.indb 6 07.09.17 15:28

SKGL 1500 A1

under power for as long as the plug is inserted into the power

outlet.

power cord itself and never handle the cord with wet hands.

► Do not place the appliance or any furniture or other items on

top of the power cord and avoid pinching it.

► You must not open the housing of the appliance nor attempt to

repair or modify the appliance. When the housing is opened or

the appliance is modiﬁed by an unauthorized party, there is a

risk of death from electric shock and the warranty is invalidated.

Caution! Hot surface!

► Parts of the appliance will become hot during operation; you

should only hold the appliance by the handle.

► Baked foods can burn! Never set up and use the appliance in

the vicinity of ﬂammable objects, especially not under curtains.

control system to operate the appliance.

► Never leave the appliance unattended during operation.

► Ensure that the appliance, the power cord, and the plug do

not come into contact with heat sources such as hotplates or

naked ﬂames.

► To protect the non-stick coating, do not use metallic tools such

as knives, forks, etc. If the non-stick coating is damaged, stop

using the appliance.

There are 3 diﬀerent ways of using this grill:

–completely open, using both hot plates q as a tabletop grill.

–with a movable upper hot plate q as a contact grill, e.g.

to grill meat from both sides.

–with a ﬁxed upper hot plate q as a panini grill, e.g. to

make grilled cheese toast.

Temperature settings

The ideal temperature depends on what you are grilling. Use the

following guide to determine the most suitable temperature:

194 °F (90 °C): keep-warm mode

300–350 °F (150–175 °C): low temperature, e.g. for

vegetables or panini

350–390 °F (175–200 °C): medium temperature, e.g. for ﬁsh

390–450 °F (200–230 °C): high temperature, e.g. for meat

The above temperature indications are merely a guide. Ideal

temperatures may vary depending on the condition of the food!

"Contact grill" position

1) Connect the power plug to the power outlet and press the

power button to turn the appliance on.

2) Set the desired temperature and, if necessary, heating time

temperature has been reached.

3) Open the lid of the appliance and place the food on the

lower hot plate q.

4) Use the handle to close the lid of the appliance.

5) The movable upper hot plate q is always parallel to the low-

er hot plate q, even if thick food is being grilled.

This ensures optimal results.

■ 14 │ US-EN SKGL 1500 A1

6) After a while, check how much your food has browned.

Use the handle to open the lid of the appliance.

Start with short grilling durations and increase the time until you

ﬁnd the appropriate setting.

7) Once you are happy with the degree of browning, remove

your food from the grill.

Tips and tricks

■ Marinade meat before grilling it to achieve especially tender

results and a shorter cooking time. You can use sour cream,

red wine, vinegar, buttermilk, or fresh fruit juice, e.g. papaya

or pineapple juice. Add herbs or spices depending on your

personal preferences. Do not add salt to your marinade as it

dehydrates the meat and makes it tough. Fully submerge the

meat in the marinade and close the container. Ideally, allow it

to marinade over night.

■ The hot plates qhave non-stick coating, so you do not

need to add extra oil or fat. If you wish to use extra oil or fat

anyway, choose a product that is suitable for frying food, e.g.

rapeseed oil.

■ Use meat that has the same thickness throughout to ensure

even cooking.

■ If you are uncertain whether the meat is fully cooked on the

inside, use a standard meat thermometer.
