EU, WEEE 2012/19/EU and RoHs 2011/65/EU and with CE Regulation 1935/2004. ENVIRONMENT Environmental Protection – DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU To protect the environment and people’s health, it is important for everyone, including all suppliers and users, to follow specic guidelines for the disposal of any electrical appliance at the end of its useful life. For this reason and as indicated by the symbol on its data plate, you may not dispose of this appliance in any public or private bin meant for household rubbish. To dispose of your appliance, you are instead responsible for taking it to a public collection centre equipped for recycling electrical or electronic devices. For information on collection and recycling centres for discarded appliances, please contact the local authorities or household rubbish collection service in your region or the shop where you purchased the appliance.

When unpacking the appliance, take care to remove and check all packing for parts as well as packets and additional packing information.

Make sure that no parts or accessories are missing or defective.

Before using the appliance, clean the cooking surface thoroughly with soapy water to remove any impurities from the packaging. Dry thoroughly.

A new appliance may smoke and/or give off an odour when used for the rst time. To reduce the chance of smoking or odour, it is recommended to allow the appliance to heat for 10 minutes and then cool for approximately 30 minutes before the rst use.

You may then proceed with curing the surface which helps both to protect it and to keep food from sticking. To cure the cooking surface, wipe down the surface thoroughly using alcohol vinegar, heat the appliance and then slide a slice of bacon or ham fat around over the entire cooking surface. After coating with a layer of fat in this manner, the surface will gradually turn brown. The plancha is now cured and ready for use.

Place the appliance on a at, stable, heat-resistant surface.

The device is suitable for outside use. It can be used inside under an extraction hood.

Adjust the feet depending on the type of cooking desired. - If the feet are left retracted, the cooking surface will be nearly level and sloping very slightly forward to allow for slow drainage of grease and cooking juices for traditional plancha cooking. - Unscrewing the feet on the front causes the plancha to tip toward the rear to prevent any cooking juices from draining off, e.g. for cooking mussels marinière. - Unscrewing the feet on the rear causes more grease to run off into the grease trough for more diet-friendly cooking, e.g. for cooking duck breasts. Always adjust the front or rear feet in pairs, i.e. either both front feet or both rear feet, to avoid throwing the appliance off-balance. To protect the screw threads, do not use the product with the feet unscrewed excessively (i.e. to more than 3 mm or more than 7 turns).

ENG* Before each use, turn on the plancha and allow it to heat for 10 minutes on high.

Brush the cooking surface with oil.

Important: do not cut foods directly on the cooking surface as this could leave deep scratches on the surface.

Do not overheat the cooking surface as this could cause it to turn black and make it difcult to clean.

Remember to empty the drip drawer regularly to prevent it from overowing.

Adjust the thermostat to the appropriate temperature for the type, size and thickness of food you wish to cook and to suit your cooking preferences. HERE ARE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SETTING THE THERMOSTAT TO COOK SPECIFIC FOODS:

Duck breasts: 240°C for 10 min on the skin side and then 200°C for 5 min on the other side

Fish (whole): 260°C and then reduce temperature to 220°C

To turn off the appliance, turn the thermostat down to the lowest setting.

Allow the appliance to cool and then unplug the cord.

You may then wrap the cord around the cord winder on the rear of the appliance for ease of storage. LONG-TERM STORAGE If the appliance will not be used for an extended period, we strongly recommend storing it in a dry place. 46MAINTENANCE Never submerse the appliance in water, spray with water or place in dishwasher. COOKING SURFACE: Before use, the plate of your Plancha Pro has a brushed appearance. With the use of utensils and acidic foods, the plate will become scratched and take on a patina. This change in appearance is normal and does not affect the functioning of your unit. Unplug the appliance and clean while still hot. Allow the surface to cool for approximately a minute. Pour a glass of water onto the surface and scrape with the supplied spatula, pushing the residue and liquid into the grease trough. Important: never use ice to clean the hot plancha as this could cause thermal shock and warp the stainless steel cooking surface. The permanent brown staining that develops with cooking is part of the curing process and is a natural chemical reaction that protects the surface and prevents foods from sticking. Important: never attempt to remove the brown layer to regain the original colour of the cooking surface as this will cause foods to stick. For deep cleaning, spray the entire stainless steel surface with white vinegar and clean using a sponge and the supplied spatula/scraper. This will leave the layer of grease intact, preventing the need to repeat previous steps. Always wipe the surface off before storing or reuse. GREASE DRIP DRAWER: This container is used to collect the cooking juices which you may then save or discard. Empty the grease drip drawer and wipe it out using a wet sponge and dishwashing liquid. This container is also dishwasher-safe.

ENGAPPLIANCE BODY: Clean the appliance body using a wet sponge and, if desired, a little dishwashing liquid. GREASE TROUGH: Wipe out the grease trough using a wet sponge and, if desired, a little dishwashing liquid.
