Notes
The settings will remain unchanged if you touch several symbols at once. This allows you to wipe up spills on the control panel.
Always keep the controls dry. Moisture reduces their effectiveness.
Residual heat indicator
The Teppan Yaki has a two-stage residual heat indicator.
If an ±bH appears in the display, the Teppan Yaki is still hot. When the Teppan Yaki cools down further, the display switches to h. The indicator goes out when the Teppan Yaki has cooled down sufficiently.
Before using for the first time
In this section, you can find out what you must do before using your Teppan Yaki to prepare food for the first time. Read the Safety information section beforehand.
Cleaning
Clean the Teppan Yaki thoroughly with lukewarm soapy water before first use.
Heating the Teppan Yaki
To get rid of the new cooker smell, heat up the empty Teppan Yaki. 30 minutes at 240^ is ideal.
Setting the Teppan Yaki
In this section, you can find out how to set the Teppan Yaki. The table shows temperatures and cooking times for various meals.
Switching the teppanyaki on and off
The main switch is used to switch the teppanyaki on and off.
To switch on: Touch the ① symbol. A signal sounds. The display above the main switch lights up. The teppanyaki is ready to use.
To switch off: Touch the ① symbol until the display above the main switch goes out. The teppanyaki has been switched off. The residual heat display remains lit until the teppanyaki has cooled down sufficiently.
Note: The teppanyaki switches off automatically when the temperature setting remains at 0 for more than approx. 15 seconds.
Setting the temperature
- Switch on the teppanyaki using the main switch.

At the L warming setting, the appliance heats to 70^
- Switch on the teppanyaki.
- Touch the L symbol.
The L symbol lights up in the temperature display.
Note: Do not attempt to keep excessively large quantities of food warm. All food which is to be kept warm should be in contact with the frying surface, otherwise it will cool down. Do not keep food warm for too long, otherwise it will become dry.
Selecting the cleaning level
At the cleaning level, the appliance heats to 40^ . This enables you to leave the dirt to soak once you have poured a little water and added a drop of washing-up liquid on the frying surface (1 hour maximum). You can begin cleaning once the dirt has begun to soften.

Tips and tricks
- When the heating up light goes off, place the food on the appliance. This also applies when raising the temperature to fry a second item which requires a higher setting.
Press the pieces of meat, poultry or fish 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. -
Keep the pieces of meat, poultry or fish apart so that they do not draw any liquid.
-
Avoid pricking or cutting meat before or during frying, in order to retain meat juices.
- Do not salt the food before frying, to prevent liquid and soluble nutrients from escaping.
Turn fish fillets in flour before frying. The fish will be easier to turn.
Turn fish fillets only once if possible. Place fish onto the appliance with the skin facing downward.
Use oil and fat that is suitable for frying, for example plant oil or concentrated butter.
