Familiarization:
- The manual emphasizes the importance of reading the entire document to understand the appliance's operation and maintenance.
- It highlights safety precautions, including the use of suitable personal protective equipment (e.g., heat-resistant gloves) when handling hot surfaces.
Preparing the Appliance:
- Before first use, all protective films must be removed from the appliance.
- The appliance should be placed on a stable, horizontal surface, ensuring proper ventilation.
- For models with automatic water filling, ensure the water tank is correctly connected and filled. For manual models, the water drawer needs to be filled manually.
Cooking Process:
- Preheating: The grill requires preheating to the desired temperature. The digital display shows the current temperature and status.
- Loading Food: Food should be arranged evenly on the grill. For optimal results, avoid overcrowding the cooking surface.
- Temperature and Time Control: Users can manually set the desired cooking level (temperature) and cooking time using the control panel. The "UP/DOWN/TIME" buttons adjust the values, and the "SELECT" button confirms the settings.
- Core Probe (Optional): If equipped, the core probe can be inserted into the food to monitor its internal temperature, ensuring precise cooking. The display will show the core temperature, and the appliance will automatically adjust the cooking process to achieve the desired result.
- Grill Height Adjustment: The upper grill can be lifted or lowered to accommodate different food thicknesses. This is crucial for even cooking and browning.
- Humidification: The humidification system can be activated to maintain food moisture during cooking. This is particularly beneficial for delicate items that tend to dry out.
Safety Precautions during Use:
- Always keep the appliance clean. Clean it daily after each cooking session.
- Do not use flammable substances (e.g., diesel, petrol, or bottles of alcohol) near the appliance.
- Do not place sources of heat (e.g., fryers) or highly flammable substances near the appliance.
- The appliance wheels, if present, should be locked during cooking to prevent movement.
- Always operate the appliance with humidification water in the specific water tank. Using the appliance without water may cause it to overheat, resulting in damage and risk of fire.
- Clean the grill at the start of every cooking session and make sure that the gaps between the bars are clean and unobstructed. Overheating can occur if fat particles or food residues accumulate, causing damage to people and the appliance itself.
- Do not touch hot surfaces without protective gloves.
- Do not force the lid open or closed, as this may cause damage.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the Arris Overgrill.
Daily Cleaning:
- Cleaning the Grill: After each use, the grill should be cleaned thoroughly. Remove any food residues using a brass brush or a suitable scraper. For stubborn residues, a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water can be used.
- Cleaning the Water Collection Trays: The lower water drawer and the upper hopper (if applicable) should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent the accumulation of residues and ensure proper functioning of the humidification system.
- Cleaning Steel Surfaces: Use a soft cloth soaked in warm, soapy water to clean the external stainless steel surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners, corrosive detergents, or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Regular Greasing:
- Periodically grease the moving parts of the grill, as indicated in the manual, using the copper paste provided. This ensures smooth operation and prevents wear and tear.
Disassembly for Cleaning:
- For thorough cleaning, certain parts of the appliance, such as the upper and lower grills, can be partially disassembled. Follow the instructions in the manual for safe disassembly and reassembly.
- The "overflow" filter and the water tank should be removed and cleaned to prevent blockages.
Safety Precautions during Maintenance:
- Always switch off the electrical power supply to the appliance and wait for it to cool down (temperature below 60°C) before performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks.
- Wear suitable personal protective equipment, especially heat-resistant gloves, when cleaning.
- Do not use abrasive, powder, aggressive, or corrosive detergents (e.g., hydrochloric/muriatic acid, sulfuric acid, caustic soda, etc.), abrasive or sharp tools (e.g., abrasive sponges, scrapers, steel bristled brushes, etc.), steam or pressurized water jets.
- Ensure that the "overflow" is inserted correctly after cleaning; if fitted the wrong way round, the seal may not be effective.
Disposal:
- The appliance must be disposed of according to local regulations for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Do not dispose of it as unsorted municipal waste.
Inactivity:
- During periods of inactivity, disconnect the electrical and water supplies. Clean the external steel parts of the appliance by wiping them with a soft cloth slightly damped with vaseline oil.
- When restarting, before use: thoroughly clean the appliance and the accessories; reconnect the appliance to the power and water supplies (where applicable); inspect the appliance before putting it again; switch on the appliance for a minimum of 60 minutes without any food on the grill.
- To ensure that the appliance is in perfect condition in terms of use and safety, an authorized service center should perform maintenance and inspections at least yearly.
