ASSEMBLY
Before you use your appliance for the first time:
• Remove all packaging materials, stickers and accessories from the inside and the
outside of the appliance.
• Wash the grill plates and the two drip trays: follow the instructions in the paragraph
"After use", page 9.
Ensure that all parts are completely dry before assembling them.
The heating element terminals (1) of the upper (2) and lower (3) sections of the
appliance must always be dried thoroughly before using.
If the red waterproof cap on the element terminals (1) is damaged (torn, cut…)
and/or if the element terminals (1) are damaged (bent…), they must be repaired
by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or a similarly qualified person to
avoid any danger.
Place your appliance on a solid surface.
Avoid using it on a soft surface such as an tablecloth.
Never place the appliance directly on a fragile surface (glass table, tablecloth,
varnished furniture, etc).
Never place the appliance under a cupboard or shelf, or next to inflammable
materials such as blinds, curtains or wall hangings.
To prevent the appliance from overheating, do not place it in a corner or against
a wall.
Place the upper section (3) of the appliance flat onto the lower section (2).
The two sections must be perfectly lined up, flat against each other.
Place the upper electric unit (4) on the upper section (3) of the appliance.
A safety system prevents the installation of the upper electric unit (4) if the upper
section (3) is not positioned on the lower section (2).
Then place the lower electric unit (5) under the lower section (2) of the appliance, with
the grounded contacts pointing upwards and the power cord pointing downwards: the
two sections then become joined.
If the lower electric unit (5) is inserted the wrong way, the appliance will not work.
Securely push in the electric units (4 and 5) before plugging in the appliance.
Only use the electric units (4 and 5) supplied with your appliance.

Position the rectangular drip tray (6) by sliding it under the lower grill plate (2).
The rectangular drip tray (6) collects any grease or drippings during cooking.
Note: some food contain a lot of water and cause a large amount of steam while
cooking. If necessary, you can use the steam guard (11) provided with the appliance.
It should be positioned on the inside of the handle (8).
Do not use the steam guard (11) in the open grill position or in the oven position.

Position the second drip tray (7) on the handle (8) of the appliance, sliding it under the
upper grill plate (3).
Make sure that the power cord and cable linking the two electric units do not get in
the way.
For the oven position
To warm up cooked dishes whether fresh or frozen and grill fragile foods, such
as fish, without crushing them.

the grill plate is then in a horizontal position.
Grasp the handle (8), pull up vigorously on the upper section (3) of the appliance, then
pull it towards you until you can slide it onto the front notch and close the appliance
by letting the upper section (3) rest on the support wire (9): the two grill plates are now
parallel; the appliance is in the oven position.

CONNECTION AND PRE-HEATING
Fully unroll the power cord.
Make sure that the electric power supply is compatible with the power rating
and voltage indicated on the bottom of the appliance.
Always plug the appliance into an earthed socket.
If an extension cord is used:
