Using the appliance
Note: The appliance may produce some smoke when you use it for the first time.
This is normal.
1 Slide the drip tray into the base (Fig. 2).
Note: The drip tray can only be slid into the base in one way.

getting burnt.
- To make cleaning easier, you can line the drip tray with aluminium foil
before you fill it with water.
- When you line the drip tray, make sure the foil does not hang over the
sides of the tray, as this prevents proper air circulation.

Note: The grilling plate only fits in the base in one way.
4 Insert the thermostat unit into the thermostat unit socket in the side
of the appliance. (Fig. 5)
