INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Important: Carefully clean the surface before using the barbecue for the first time, then switch the heating element
(resistance) on for 5 minutes at the maximum temperature. This will prevent any food cooked on the barbecue from
absorbing the smell the resistance will give off the first time it is switched on.
Operate the knob set on the front of the surface to start cooking. The LED which lights up indicates the surface is on and
the resistance is heating up. The speed at which the food on the barbecue cooks depends on the position of the knob (1
to 12).
When the knob is set to position 12, a slight click indicates the appliance has reached its maximum setting. The
resistance quickly becomes red-hot, ready for the "grill-type" cooking method.
Food will cook more evenly, also inside, if intermediate positions are used, rather than the resistance being very hot or
simply warm. These positions are also recommended for cooking more delicate foods.

The container is filled with lava which absorbs any drops of oil or fat produced during cooking. It also accumulates the
heat from the resistance in order to ensure food is grilled evenly. This cooking method is similar to the one which would
be achieved by using charcoal. The manufacturers recommend preheating the lava for at least 10 minutes at a low
temperature before grilling.
Water can be poured into the container in place of the lava, to a level of at least 3cm. The water prevents unpleasant
smells from forming during cooking, without negatively altering the performance of the barbecue.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Advice for cooking
Important
N.B. the surfaces of the cooking areas become red-hot during use. Keep the barbecue out of the reach of children.
Do not drop hard objects on the glass surfaces as under some conditions they are sensitive to mechanical loads. Pointed
objects may, therefore, break these surfaces. If the glass-ceramic surface is accidentally broken or cracked, switch the
appliance off immediately and contact the Customer Service Department.
Ensure that cables and plugs of other domestic appliances inserted in sockets positioned near the barbecue do not come
into direct contact with hot cooking surfaces.
Do not, under any circumstances, clean the surface using steam cleaning appliances or similar.
The surface must be cleaned thoroughly after each cooking session. Wait until it has cooled completely. Even very small
residues of food left on the surface will burn the next time the appliance is used. Use the recommended cleaning
products currently on sale only. The stainless steel components of the appliance must be cleaned using non-abrasive,
non-corrosive products. Do not use chlorine-based products such as bleach etc.. Steel wool, abrasive sponges and
scouring powders may scratch the surface. Do not use oven-cleaning products to clean the appliance as they are
corrosive.
Surface dirt can be removed using either a damp cloth or hot sodium carbonate. Remove residues of detergents using
cold water, and carefully dry surfaces. Any remaining water stains which do not disappear using boiling water can be
removed using vinegar or lemon, or lime-scale remover. Clean the frame or stainless steel container immediately using a
wet cloth if they come into direct contact with one of these acid detergents.
Any encrustations which remain on the glass can easily be removed using a shave hook for glass. The handle of the
shave hook must not be made of plastic as it could melt and stick to hot surfaces. Careless use of this implement may
result in injury.
The lava and stainless steel container are dishwasher-proof.
