Perpendicular plaques With the grill closed and the catch in its intermediate position, open the grill by lifting the upper cover up as far as it will go. 3) This working position is used when you do not want the upper plaque to come into contact with the food. Adapts to the shape of the food With the grill in the position described above (perpendicular plaques), place the food on the lower plaque and close the grill by gently lowering the upper cover until it rests on the food. This position is used for grilling and browning both sides of the food at the same time. ⷠParallel plaques Open the grill by placing it in the perpendicular plaque position, place the food on the lower plaque and lift The upper cover up as far as it will go, before folding it down once again until it rests firmly on its supports. 4) This position is used for au gratin dishes, reheating and, in general, for using the grill like a conventional oven. ⷠ180º open plaques With the grill closed, lift the closing and support catch (f), place in its vertical position and lock in place by pressing the plaque downwards.

This selector has one off position (0) and 5 cooking options to enable the user to choose the correct temperature depending on the type of food to be prepared. ⷠThe appliance ON pilot light (b) switches on when the appliance is plugged in and the temperature selector is set to a position between 1 and 5, and switches off when the plaques have reached the selected temperature. From this moment onwards, the grill will switch on and off automatically in order to maintain a constant temperature in the plaques. The pilot light will also switch on and off regularly. Once the plaques have reached the selected temperature, choose the required working position in accordance with that described in the section above and place the food on them.
