How to clean the natural stone plate?
Soak the stone in hot water without additives (no soap or dish detergent), then scrub with a brush if necessary. Never use abrasive or acidic cleaners.
Can I use olive oil on the non-stick plate?
No, cold-pressed oils like olive oil have low heat resistance. Use only highly heatable oils (e.g., sunflower or grapeseed oil).
How long does it take to preheat the appliance?
Set the thermostat to the maximum position and preheat for about 30 minutes. The temperature indicator light turns off when the temperature is reached.
Can the natural stone crack?
Yes, small visible cracks may appear due to thermal expansion. This does not affect operation, but the stone is excluded from warranty for this reason.

No, the appliance must not be operated with an external timer or remote control system. It must remain under supervision during use.
What is the maximum temperature reached?

Purpose / Practical Tips

With this raclette device you have an ideal combination: you can prepare raclette in the pans and grill on the grill plates. With this manual, we would like to give you some general tips for a cosy raclette grill evening. You will find many more recipes in modern cookbooks and magazines. While using the pans, make sure that you do not overload them, otherwise they will not fit properly into the device. Do not cut on the grill plates.

The following food can be put on the plates:

• Stone plate: meat, fish, vegetables, crustacea
- Ribbed plate: meat, sausages, spits, vegetables
- Flat plate: crêpes, fried egg, etc.

Important note

Cold-pressed oils, such as olive oil should not be used as dripping as these oils have a poor quality at high temperatures.

Due to the high grill temperatures (up to 250^ C), residues of oil, juices, herbs, etc. build up on the hot grill surface and the non-stick effect decreases. It is hard or impossible to remove these residues from the grilling plate.

Therefore, only use heat-resistant oils!

1. Grilling on the grilling plate

When planning the evening, reckon on about 200 to 250 grams of material per person. On the grill plate you can prepare meat (e.g. rump steak or mince), fish, and a wide variety of tasty dishes. A large number of side-dishes, sauces, and dips are suitable to accompany them.

  • How well-done the dishes have to be, depends on the type of meat or fish, the
  • length of time it takes, its initial temperature, and its thickness. If you prefer your steaks not too rare, do not cut them too thick.
  • The time you give meat or fish is a matter of your personal taste. Turn the meat or fish over from time to time.
  • Finally, you can salt the meat or fish, or add a sauce to it. Do not salt before grilling as this draws the juice out.

No-stick grilling plate:

- This grill surface is coated for easy cleaning. On this area you can barbecue meat and vegetables. Do not use sharp metallic objects such as forks or knives to turn food over, as the coating may be damaged.

Stone plate:

  • No oil or grease is needed on the stone, so the natural flavour of meat, fish, and other ingredients is preserved (with the exception of the oil you apply before first using the stone).
    • Always use the stone plate with the smooth surface upwards.
  • It is possible that the meat or fish could stick (burn in slightly) the first time the appliance is used. Do not turn the meat or fish over until it is very easy to loosen from the surface.
  • The grill stone is particularly suitable for the natural grilling of all kinds of juicy meat, fruit, and vegetables.

2. Raclette dishes with the gourmet pans

You can fill the pans with all kinds of ingredients cut up small, whatever takes your fancy, cover it with cheese, and heat it under the grill until the cheese melts. Anything is suitable that you can think of for overbaking with cheese, e.g. meat cut into tiny pieces, poultry, fish, fruits de mar, sausage, fruit, and vegetables. There are specially selected raclette cheeses on the market, but you can try other kinds provided their tat content is over 45%.

STEBA RC 18 - Raclette dishes with the gourmet pans - 1

Place the pans only into the corresponding recess! Never push the pans further, otherwise the handles may melt.

3. Overbaking „au gratin“ with cheese

You can use this raclette grill to cover the dishes you have made on the grill with a delicious gratin cheese crust. Simply scatter grated cheese, possibly mixed with caraway seeds, over the dish, or lay it on top in slices, and place the gourmet pan under the grill.

The gourmet pan will be heated from on top by radiant heat, just like under a grill. First the cheese will melt, then it goes dark in colour. Take the pan out as soon as the cheese is a crisp golden brown.

4. Old-original raclette cheese method

In this instance, the cheese is at the focal point of the raclette party. Plan about 200 to 250 grams of cheese and potatoes per person, and side-dishes as well. Place a slice of cheese about 5 mm (3/8th of an inch) thick in the pan, cut to fit, and push it in under the grill. Once the cheese has melted into a creamy mass, take the pan out and extract the cheese with the aid of a small wooden spatula and pour it onto boiled or foil potatoes, French bread, or toast.
