The VR 421 electric barbecue grill has two independently controlled grilling zones, with lava stones and an open cast grill for low-fat barbecuing. It also features a large griddle pan, which is great for paninis and pancakes.
Independently set hinged heating elements
The two grill heating elements can be set independently. This means that while the front part of the grill is being used for grilling, the rear part can be used for keeping food warm. To clean the cooktop, simply swivel both heating elements out of the way. The Vario 400 Pro Series open grill grate has concealed heating elements. This ensures that very little smoke is produced, as fat cannot drip onto them.
Cast iron griddle
This is an extremely useful, easy-care accessory for grilling or cooking on a flat surface. Three of its sides are high and effectively protect against fat splashes, and the front edge curves slightly upwards to prevent spillage of fat and deposits of burnt food.
Stainless steel container with lava stones
The floor of the lava stone container is perforated, allowing fat to drip into the pullout collection tray. The tray is removable and dishwasher-safe.
Appliance cover
Stainless steel protective cover that can be closed when the appliance is not in use.
Vacation lock
After running for four hours, the appliance automatically switches itself off if it receives no operator commands during this time.
Control knobs
All Series 400 control knobs are designed to prevent unintentional activation of the appliance, because they need to be both pressed and rotated. Before a knob can be turned, it must be pushed through a clearly felt stop position. The temperature selection knobs on electrical appliances may then be turned in either direction, even past the zero position. The setting selected for a cooking zone via a particular knob position is then retained. A discreet circular orange light indicates active cooking zones. In gas appliances, rotation of the knob is limited to one direction; illumination of the ring is not possible.
