Cleaning is easiest while the appliance is still fairly warm. ∙ Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.15 Basic appliance: ∙ Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Make sure that no water finds its way inside the appliance. Observe the safety instructions as well. Gourmet pans: ∙ Soak the gourmet pans in water with a little washing-up liquid for a while to soften if necessary. Non-stick grill plate: ∙ The Non-stick grill plate can likewise be washed up in water and washing-up liquid. Gourmet stone plate: ∙ Soak the grill stone in hot water (with no additives!) for some time, and then clean it with clear, warm water and if necessary, a cleaning sponge. Do not use any washing-up liquid or abra- sive as these could affect the properties of the stone. ∙ The grill stone expands when heated. This can cause small, vis- ible cracks to appear on the surface, but these do not affect its function. For this reason, the stone is excluded from guarantee cover. Workplace Important: Never place this device on or next to hot surfaces (e.g. hot stoves). Only use it on a even, stable and a heat resisting surface. It is im- portant that no inflammable items are near to the device. Do not place the device on the edge of the table so that it cannot be touched by children or fall down when touched.16

Put into operation ∙ Place the grill plate and the stone plate on the device. ∙ Plug-in the device, the blue LED lights up.17 Preheat the device ∙ Turn the temperature selector to “max”. the grilling surface has to be preheated before placing any food on top of it. The preheating time is approx. 30 minutes. ∙ Once the temperature is reached, the LED turns out and goes on again if the device heats. The thermostat clocks. ∙ Turn the temperature selector to the desired heating power: o A high setting for medium / medium-raw meat o A lower setting if the meat should be well-done o A medium setting is perfect for cook au-gratin 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 im- possible to remove these residues from the grilling plate. Therefore, only use heat-resistant oils!18

1. Grilling on the grilling plate

When planning the evening, reckon on about 200 to 250 grams of material per per- son. 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. lf 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. Any- thing 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 spe- cially selected raclette cheeses on the market, but you can try other kinds provided their tat content is over 45%. Place the pans only into the corresponding recess! Never push the pans further, otherwise the handles may melt.19

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 cara- way 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.
