Before the first use
• Before using your appliance for the first time take away the packaging materials and
clean the pans and the grilling surface thoroughly with a damp cloth.
• Hold the plate under running water (you can use a sponge to improve the cleaning).
Never use abrasive or cleaning products. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
• Before each use, oil the non-stick coated plates.
• Oil the surface of the plate with a kitchen paper or with a small brush coated with
heating-resistant table oil (olive or groundnut oil).
• When it is first switched on, the heating element may smell and emit some smoke.
This is normal; the grease that may have adhered to the element during manufacture
is burning off. We therefore recommend that you heat up the appliance for about 10
minutes without any food (ventilate the room during this period). This will no more
occur in the future.
• In order to prevent grease stains on your table cloth, don’t forget to put another,
easy-washing cloth under your appliance.
Hint: When your appliance is warming up and the raclette pans are clean, you can put
them on the appliance to warm them up but never leave raclette pans that have already
been used in the appliance, as the food residues might burn.
IMPORTANT REMARKS
• Avoid shocks when you move the plate. Also avoid the thermal shocks.
• Never place too large, too cold or frozen food on a hot plate.
• To avoid burns or fissures on the plate, never move a still hot plate.
• Only place food on a plate. Never place heavy objects on it.
GRILL PLATES
• Put the raclette-grill in the middle of the table.
• Use only wooden or plastic utensils in order not to damage the coating.
• When heating (above all in the presence of oil), the plate may give off a smell and a
light smoke. This phenomenon disappears after a couple of minutes.
• Wait until the grill is hot before placing food on them. Control its grilling and return it
regularly with a wood spatula. Do not pick the meat, it could lose its juice and taste.
The small pieces of meat and fish are ready more quickly and better grilled than the
large pieces. So it is recommended to cut them in small pieces of 1 to 2 cm first.
• It is recommended to remove the rest of food from the plate during grilling (with a
wood spatula). Once the food is dry, it becomes more difficult to remove them.
• Cut the meat into small pieces. You thus reduce the cooking time. Chop the crude
meat and serve it on a plate or a wooden board. Your can choose the quantity of meat
they want and grill it on the grill plates.
• You can grill toasts in the raclette pans, cook fruit through or over, fry eggs or potatoes
and many other things.
• You may serve the grilled meat with different sauces, salad.
