1- First Use

• When unpacking the appliance, take care to remove and check all packing for parts and to remove the label affixed to the glass tray.
• It is recommended to clean the pans before using them for the first time. A new appliance may smoke slightly when used for the first time.

2- Operation

• Place the appliance on a flat surface.
• Unroll the cord completely.
• Plug in the appliance and turn the switch on; the indicator will light up.
• Preheat the appliance for 15 minutes before inserting pans.
• Place the cheese in the raclette pans.
• Place the pans into the appliance, making sure that the cheese is not so thick that it comes into contact with the heating element.
• Remove* and enjoy when the cheese has reached the desired colour and consistency. Note: It is normal for the cooking temperature to vary slightly over the entire cooking surface.
• If you have finished or would like to pause cooking during a meal, the pans may be placed on the bottom tempered-glass level. If you use the 'hot-holding' feature, it is normal for the cheese to congeal somewhat.

ENG To give cheese a thinner consistency, place the pan on the upper level again for a few minutes. *Important: the handles of the raclette pans may become very hot due to the radiant heat from the element. For your comfort, grasp pans only by the translucent portion of the handle.

• Pans: clean with a non-abrasive sponge using hot water and liquid detergent. Rinse. To avoid scratching the nonstick coating, do not scrub the pans with metal pads or brushes or abrasive products. Note: The pans may be left to soak or placed in a dishwasher. Maintenance________________________________

• Metal columns and base (depending on model): clean using only a soft, damp, non-abrasive sponge. Wipe with a dry cloth. Always unplug the appliance and let cool completely before cleaning. Your appliance has glass trays and consequently requires special care during cleaning and maintenance. Take care not to allow electrical parts to come into contact with water. Never submerse the appliance in water.

• Glass trays and element: clean with a sponge, a little hot water and liquid detergent. Note: the glass trays are fixed, do not try to remove them. Note: To avoid scratching the glass, never use an abrasive sponge or metal pad.
• First, clean the top of each tray, and then turn the appliance over carefully and clean the underside of each tray. Note: The element does not come out. Instead, carefully wipe the glass trays around it.
• Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Then, before the water evaporates completely, dry the trays with paper towels.
• Dry the element thoroughly.
• Tip: to remove stubborn stains and grease more easily, use glass cleaner. General warranty conditions ____________ Your appliance is subject to a 2-year warranty.
