[. . . ] The distance between the back wall and the edge of the cook top must be at least 55 mm. A partition made of insulating material (wood or the like) must be inserted between the cook top and the space below. This partition must be at least 10 mm from the underside of the cook top tray. [. . . ] In the parts destined to come into contact with foodstuffs, this appliance is in accordance with the requirements of the EC directive 89/109 transposed in the Italian Legislative Decree N° 108 of 25/01/92. cE Appliance conforming to the European directives 89/336/EEC , 93/68/EEC , 73/23/EEC and subsequent revisions. 13 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. 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. LED 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 handle of the shave hook must not be made of plastic as it could melt and stick to hot surfaces. 14 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Before contacting the Technical Assistance: if the surface is not functioning correctly, check the plug has been correctly inserted in the socket.
