Frequently Asked Questions - EVELYN PALSON

How to correctly connect the thermostat of the EVELYN hot plate?

Firmly insert the temperature regulator plug into the appliance socket until it stops. Make sure the temperature indicator is on 0 before plugging the cable into the mains.

What does the indicator light turning on and off mean?

The indicator light turns on when the plate heats up and automatically turns off when the set temperature is reached. It turns back on if the temperature drops. This is an automatic regulation function.

Why is there a strange smell during the first use?

An odor may be released due to the protective resin applied at the factory. It disappears after a few minutes of use and is not harmful to health.

What utensils to use on the non-stick surface?

Use wooden or plastic utensils. Avoid metal spatulas or hard brushes that could scratch the non-stick surface.

How to clean the plate after use?

Wait for the plate to cool down, then clean it with a damp cloth or kitchen paper. For stuck residues, heat a little water in the plate to loosen them. Never use harsh detergents or abrasive sponges.

Can I wash the glass lid under cold water when it is hot?

No, do not expose the PYREX glass lid to sudden temperature changes. Let it cool down before cleaning with a soft sponge and mild soap.

How to adjust the temperature for different foods?

Use the selector from 0 to 10. For example, for fried eggs, set to 2-4-6 (150°C); for steaks, set to 2-4-6-8 (180°C). Refer to the cooking time table in the manual.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

Do not use the appliance. The cord must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service center, or a qualified technician to avoid any danger.

Can food be kept warm after cooking?

Yes, after cooking, set the temperature regulator to position 2 to keep food warm. Before serving, turn it back to 0 and unplug.

How to grease the non-stick plate?

After each use and cleaning, once the plate is cool and dry, apply a little oil or butter to the non-stick surface using a soft cloth.

USER MANUAL EVELYN PALSON

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical devices, it is necessary to observe safety precautions both for the product purchased and for the user.

1. Read carefully all the remarks and recommendations.
2. Do not touch any hot surfaces, USE THE SIDE HANDLES or the device's feet, as these are heat resistant.
3. To prevent electric shocks, make sure that the thermostat, the power cord and the device are totally dry.
4. Steps for turning on the device:

FIRST: insert the thermostat firmly as far as it will go into the socket in the device's body, leaving the temperature indicator set to "0".

SECOND: insert the power cord plug into the mains socket.

1. When plugging and unplugging the device's power cord and thermostat, never pull on the cord but on the plug or thermostat.
2. Make sure that the plug and power cord are in good condition in order to guarantee satisfactory operation.
3. Do not use products or components that are different from the original ones.
4. Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
5. Do not operate the device near gas rings or electric radiators. Keep a minimum distance of 15 cm between the hotplate and the surface or wall.
6. Keep the device out of children's reach while the device is operating.
7. Take all necessary precautions when removing the hotplate from the frying pan.
8. This device should only be used strictly in compliance with the above-mentioned instructions.
9. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised technical service or by a qualified technician in order to prevent hazards.
10. This device should only be used with the power cord supplied.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Automatic Temperature Regulator:

The thermostat is integrated with the power cord, and can be separated from the device. The thermostat can be adjusted from 0^ to 240^ using a selector from 0 to 10. This allows you to choose the ideal temperature for each meal, guaranteeing optimal results while preserving all the food's nutritional properties.

The temperature is selected depending on the type of meal to be prepared.

Once the desired temperature has been reached, the thermostat's indicator lamp turns off automatically, lighting again when the temperature falls below the setpoint.

Correct use:

• Carefully clean the device's hotplate and lid each time before use.
  Grease the hotplate with oil or butter each time after use.

Turning on:

1. Set the temperature indicator to "0" and insert the temperature regulator's plug FIRMLY into the socket AS FAR AS IT WILL GO.

Important note: If the temperature regulator is not correctly inserted, it may cause abnormal heating, which may damage the device and even cause accidents. Therefore, make sure that the temperature regulator is firmly inserted as far as it will go.

1. Insert the plug in the mains socket.

The indicator lamp turns on when the power cord is connected to the mains.

1. The temperature scale has five phases, which are selectable depending on the type of meal.

2. How do I start cooking?

1) Wait for about 5 minutes after plugging in the power cord. The indicator lamp will light and you can start cooking.

If the indicator lamp should go out, do not be alarmed. It is not broken. Remember that it operates automatically and will turn off when the desired temperature is reached.

If you should note abnormal smells when using for the first time, do not worry. This is not harmful for your health. The protective resin, applied in the factory, normally gives off these smells when heated. They will disappear after a few minutes.

Do not touch the device's base. Use only the heat-resistant handles and feet when moving and handling the frying pan.

2) With EVELYN, you can start to enjoy tasty meals cooked using very little fat, helping you follow a healthy diet for increased wellbeing.
3) The PIREX glass lid should always be used when cooking: it is not only heat-resistant but also maintains and distributes the heat along the top, keeping the food crispy.
The glass lid allows you to monitor progress of the cooking, without smells or splashes.
The lid has a safety valve for venting steam. This prevents the food from being cooked in too much liquid while keeping it tender and juicy.
4) When the food is ready, set the temperature regulator to "0". If you wish to keep the food hot, lower the regulator to the position "2".
5) Before serving, reset the temperature regulator to "0".
6) Pull out the plug and thermostat from the frying pan. You can now serve the food at the table straight from the frying pan.

Caution: First remove the plug from the mains socket. Next, carefully take out the thermostat (the other end of the power cord) from the socket in the device's base. When it has cooled, wipe with a clean, dry cloth inside the socket.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE NON-STICK SURFACE.

The frying pan's surface has a top-quality non-stick coating on which absolutely nothing will stick.

To preserve its properties, the following precautions must be taken:

• Do not use metal spatulas or ladles. We recommend you use wooden or plastic utensils.
  If you have to cut hot or cold meat, or fish, we recommend you take the food out of the frying pan and cut it on a board.
• Make sure that neither the power cord nor the thermostat rest on or rub against the frying pan.
• Do not use stiff nylon or metal wire brushes to clean the frying pan.
• The frying pan should be cleaned each time after use. Wait until it has cooled to a suitable temperature and use a clean, dry cloth. We recommend you use paper kitchen towels.

GB

• For healthier, more natural food, we recommend you do not use oil directly on the non-stick pan but rather that you marinade the meat, vegetables and fish beforehand with spices, butter, oil, lemon, wine, mustard, soy sauce, etc...
• Frozen products can be cooked reducing the temperatures 50% , as shown in the table below, and increasing the cooking times.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

We recommend the following practices and suggestions for proper cleaning:

Non-stick hotplate, hot.

Clean the hotplate each time after use with a damp cloth or a paper towel. If any remains of food should be left on the surface, place a little water on the plate and reheat to dilute these remains. If necessary, use a wooden or rubber spatula to loosen them.

Do not use aggressive or abrasive detergents, or nylon or metal brushes or pads.

Never immerse the hotplate in water or wash with water while it is hot.

Non-stick hotplate, cold.

Clean with a soft sponge and a little gentle detergent. Avoid entry of water inside the device.

Pirex glass lid.

Clean the lid using a soft sponge and gentle detergents. Avoid abrupt temperature changes of the lid (from hot to cold). Do not place the lid under cold running water while it is hot. Do not use cloths impregnated with chemicals or other strong detergents.

Temperature regulator thermostat.

Clean the thermostat with soft paper towels. Do not clean the thermostat socket with damp cloths or paper. It must be kept dry at all times.

When the device has been cleaned, dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Finally, grease the non-stick surface of the frying pan with a little oil or butter.
