Frequently Asked Questions - Napoli Kucht
How do I first use my Kucht Napoli griddle?
Before first use, remove all packaging and wash the griddle plate with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Season the steel plate by coating it with a thin layer of cooking oil and applying high heat for 15 minutes. Let it cool, then wipe off excess oil.
Can I convert the Napoli from natural gas to propane?
Yes, the griddle comes with a conversion kit and instructions. The process involves changing the burner orifices and adjusting the regulator. Always consult a qualified technician for gas conversions.
What is the best way to clean the stainless steel griddle surface?
After cooking, scrape off food residue with the included steel scraper while the surface is still warm. Then wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn grime, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner. Never use harsh abrasives that may scratch the plate.
How do I prevent food from sticking to the plancha?
Always preheat the griddle for 10-15 minutes on medium-high heat and then apply a thin layer of oil before cooking. Using a metal spatula to flip foods also helps maintain a non-stick effect over time.
Is the Kucht Napoli suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the Napoli is designed for outdoor kitchens and patios. It should be placed in a well-ventilated area, protected from direct weather. The included weather cover helps extend its lifespan.
How do I light the burners safely?
Always open the lid (if any) and keep the knob in the off position for 5 minutes before lighting. Turn the control knob to 'High' and press the ignition button near that knob. If the burner does not light, wait a few minutes and try again.
What maintenance is required for the burners?
Inspect the burners monthly for debris or food residue. Clean the burner ports with a soft brush and ensure the thermocouple is free of buildup. A blocked burner can cause uneven heating or ignition issues.
Can I use pans directly on the griddle surface?
Yes, the flat steel plate can support cookware. However, the griddle performs best when food is placed directly on the surface for even searing and flavor. Using pans may reduce heat transfer efficiency.
How do I season the gridle after cleaning?
After thorough cleaning and drying, rub a thin layer of vegetable oil over the entire surface with a paper towel. Heat the griddle for 10 minutes until the oil smokes slightly, then let it cool. This prevents rust and maintains a non-stick layer.
What should I do if the flame goes out unexpectedly?
If the flame extinguishes, immediately turn all knobs to 'Off' and close the gas supply. Wait at least 5 minutes for any gas to dissipate before attempting to relight. If the issue persists, check the thermocouple and burner orifices for blockage.
