Frequently Asked Questions - 3EB8038L BALAY

How should I clean the grill plates?

Unplug the grill and let it cool completely. Remove the plates and wash them with warm soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before reattaching.

Can I use metal utensils on the non-stick surface?

No, avoid metal utensils as they can scratch the non-stick coating. Use silicone, wood, or plastic utensils instead.

What do the indicator lights mean?

The power light stays on when the grill is plugged in. The ready light turns off when the set temperature is reached, indicating it's time to cook.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Rotate the thermostat dial to your desired setting. The temperature range is typically from low (keep warm) to high (searing). Refer to the markings on the dial.

Is it safe to leave the grill unattended while cooking?

No, never leave the grill unattended during use. The automatic shut-off activates after 30 minutes for safety, but always stay nearby.

Can I cook frozen food directly on the grill?

It is recommended to thaw frozen food before grilling to ensure even cooking and prevent damage to the non-stick surface. Some items can be cooked from frozen with adjusted times.

How should I store the grill?

Let it cool, then clean and dry it. Close the lid and wrap the cord around the base or in the cord storage compartment. Store in a dry place.

What is the maximum cooking time?

The grill has an automatic shut-off that turns it off after 30 minutes. If you need longer cooking, you can reset it by turning the thermostat off and on again.

Why is smoke coming out of the grill?

Smoke can occur from food residue or excess oil burning on the plates. Ensure the plates are clean and avoid over-oiling. Some smoking during first use is normal.

How do I replace a fuse if the grill stops working?

The grill has an internal fuse that is not user-serviceable. If the grill does not turn on, contact Balay customer service or a qualified technician for repair.

How to avoid damage

Stainless-steel frying surface The stainless-steel frying surface is tough and smooth. However, the surface will show signs of use after some time, just like a good cast iron pan. This does not interfere with the use of the appliance. A slight yellowing of the stainless-steel frying surface is normal. Do not cut with knives on the stainless-steel frying surface, this might scratch the surface. Use the spatulas to turn food. Note: do not hit the frying surface with the spatula. This might leave marks on the surface.

Hard or pointed objects Hard or pointed objects may cause damage if they fall onto the glass ceramic panel or the glass ceramic cover.

Glass ceramic cover Wait until the appliance has cooled down completely before placing the glass ceramic cover on the appliance. Do not switch on the appliance with the glass ceramic cover placed on it. Do not use the glass ceramic cover as a surface for placing objects or for keeping things warm.

Before first use

Tips and tricks

Before frying Always preheat the appliance. This also applies

when raising the temperature to fry a second item which requires a higher setting.

Use oil and fat that is suitable for frying, for example plant oil or concentrated butter.

Do not salt meat, poultry or fish before frying, to prevent liquid and soluble nutrients from escaping.

Avoid pricking or cutting meat or poultry before or during frying, in order to retain meat juices.

Frying Keep the pieces of meat apart so that they do not draw any liquid.

Press the pieces of meat flat onto the frying surface using the spatula. Only turn the meat, when it comes away from the surface easily, in order to protect the structure of the meat. Damaging the structure can cause juices to escape and results in the meat drying out.

Clean the appliance after every use. Burnt in residues may be difficult to remove.

Remove food remnants with the spatula.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Always remove any residues of cleaning agents from the frying surface!

Cleaning the warm appliance

Caution, risk of burns! When pouring water onto the hot frying surface steam will rise and hot water splashes occur.

Leave the teppan yaki to cool down for at least 15 minutes before using water to clean it. We recommend to use ice cubes. Add a few drops of washing-up detergent and leave to soak (not more than 1 hour).

Caution, risk of burns! Only clean the teppan yaki when the residual heat indicator has changed from H to h.

Cleaning the cold appliance

Cover the frying surface with some soapy water.

Switch on the appliance. Set the temperature to 40^ C. Leave to soak (not more than 1 hour).

Cleaning between frying

recommend to use ice cubes. Switch off the appliance. Put 4-5 ice cubes onto the frying surface and use the spatula to move the ice cubes around.

Caution! Hot steam will rise from the frying surface!

Remove the soiling with the spatula. You can continue frying when the remainder of the water has evaporated and the appliance has heated up to the required temperature.

Suitable cleaning agents Use soapy water to remove greasy residues. Some food can leave white marks on the frying surface after cleaning the appliance. You can remove these marks using lemon juice or vinegar. Carefully wipe clean with a moist cloth.

Burnt in residues We recommend our grill cleaner (order number 463582) to remove burnt in residues on the frying surface. Apply the cleaner on the residues when the appliance is cold. Leave for at least 2 hours, if necessary overnight. Then carefully wipe clean with a moist cloth and dry. For further reference read the instructions on the packaging.

Stainless-steel cleaner If the frying surface or the metal frame turn matte after some time, you can clean them with a stainless-steel cleaner. You can order a suitable stainless-steel cleaner from your specialist dealer or in our webshop (order number 464524).

Cleaning the frame Wipe clean the metal frame using warm soapy water. Do not hit the metal frame with the spatula.

Glass ceramic panel and Remove light soiling using a damp cloth, or with glass ceramic cover warm soapy water.
