Gaggenau VR 421-611, Operating And Assembly Instructions Manual

7

Note: 

before switching on, make sure that there are lava
stones in the appliance and both grid irons are
correctly fitted. 

Place the grid irons on the grill, so that they cover
the heating elements. This guarantees a good
transfer of heat onto the grid irons. Fat will drip over
the lava stones into the grease tray and will not drip
onto the heating elements.  

The lava stones guarantee an even, intensive
transfer of heat. Only operate the grill with lava
stones. Take the lava stones out of the plastic bag
and pour them into the lava stone container. The
contents of one bag is sufficient.

Switching on

Press down the control knobs and turn them left or
right to the required position (1-12). For grilling,
choose a level between 7 and 12. The grill will heat
to the optimum temperature for the chosen level.
The luminous discs behind the control knobs flash,
as long as the appliance heats up. When the
correct temperature for the chosen level has been
reached, the luminous discs light constantly. After
the appliance has heated up, you can put on the
food to be grilled.  

You can also turn on only one of the two heating
elements or you can choose different temperature
levels for each element. This enables you to grill
different foods at the same time, or you can use one
area to grill and the other to keep warm. 

Please note:

• Moist food should be dried, before placing on

grill. 

• The more moist the food is, the more smoke may

be produced!

• During grilling, dripping fat may flare up briefly. 

Power levels of the grill:

level 1 - 6:

keeping warm, leaving to rest 
(e.g. steaks)

level 7 - 8:

grilling – thicker food with longer 
grilling times (e.g. chicken legs), 
fragile food (e.g. fish)

level 9 - 10: grilling – normal food
level 11 - 12: grilling – thinner food with shorter 

grilling times (e.g. pork steak), beef 
steaks (leave to rest after grilling on 
a lower level)
