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 aluminium
between them. It has a high thermal ca-
pacity, which prevents temperatures
from quickly decreasing (e.g. when you
prepare meat directly from the refrigera-
tor).
• Each Teppan Yaki grill surface is unique
because they are made by hand and
grounded by grinding specialists. Differ-
ences in the grinding pattern are normal
and do not cause problems in how the
appliance operates. Also, the more you
use your grill, the more valuable it looks.
• The groove around the edge:
– Decreases the temperature of the in-
stallation surfaces, which lets you in-
stall the cooking surface into different
types of kitchen worktops.
– Absorbs some of the expansion of
the heated cooking surface through
its indentation.
– Collects small food remnants and liq-
uids which you can easily remove af-
ter the operation.
• The necessary temperature can be kept
constant by the thermostat with a read-
able temperature setting. This prevents
overheating of the food and permits
low-fat cooking that keeps the nutrition-
al values of the food.
• The food is heated directly on the cook-
ing surface, with or without oil. There is
also the option of cooking with pots or
pans.
• The grill surface heats to a temperature
of 180 °C in approximately 4 minutes.
The temperature of the grill surface de-
creases from 180 °C to 100 °C in ap-
proximately 25 minutes, and to 60 °C in
approximately 60 minutes.
• You must always preheat the cooking
surface before an operation.
3.2 Special notes for the
Teppan Yaki
• If you use the appliance frequently, a
small unevenness can form in the mid-
dle of the cooking surface where the 2
zones touch. This is not a defect in the
cooking surface and its operation is not
affected. Therefore:
– Do not put cookware in the middle of
the cooking surface between the
zones, as the unevenness can make
them unsteady.
– Frying on the surface, where the
zones touch, can cause in uneven
browning (e. g. with pancakes).
