3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3.1 The most important
features of your appliance
• The cooking surface has 2 layers of
stainless steel with a layer of alumini-
um between them. It has a high ther-
mal capacity, which prevents tempera-
tures from quickly decreasing (e.g.
when you prepare meat directly from
the refrigerator).
• Each Teppan Yaki grill surface is
unique because they are made by
hand and grounded by grinding spe-
cialists. Differences in the grinding
pattern are normal and do not cause
problems in how the appliance oper-
ates. Also, the more you use your grill,
the more valuable it looks.
• The groove around the edge:
– Decreases the temperature of the
installation surfaces, which lets you
install the cooking surface into dif-
ferent types of kitchen worktops.
– Absorbs some of the expansion of
the heated cooking surface through
its indentation.
– Collects small food remnants and
liquids which you can easily remove
after the operation.
• The necessary temperature can be
kept constant by the thermostat with a
readable temperature setting. This
prevents overheating of the food and
permits low-fat cooking that keeps the
nutritional values of the food.
• The food is heated directly on the
cooking surface, with or without oil.
There is also the option of cooking
with pots or pans.
• The grill surface heats to a tempera-
ture of 180 °C in approximately 4 mi-
nutes. The temperature of the grill sur-
face decreases from 180 °C to 100 °C
in approximately 25 minutes, and to
60 °C in approximately 60 minutes.
• You must always preheat the cooking
surface before an operation.
