Frequently Asked Questions - Pierrade PI131O TEFAL

How to clean the stone after use?

Let the stone cool, then use the provided scraper (depending on model) or a spatula to remove residues. Wipe with a dry cloth. Never immerse the stone in water, as it could crack during the next heating.

Can I use frozen foods on the stone grill?

No, it is not recommended to place frozen or deep-frozen foods on the hot stone. Use only fresh products for optimal cooking and to avoid damaging the stone.

What to do if the stone cracks?

Small cracks are normal and do not affect the operation of the appliance. They are due to the natural expansion of the stone. No claims are accepted for this reason.

How long does it take to preheat the appliance?

Preheating takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Set the thermostat (depending on model) to the desired position. The stone takes this time to respond to the setting change due to its inertia.

How much food to plan per person?

Plan about 200 g of ingredients per person. Cut the meat, fish, vegetables, or fruits into strips about 0.5 cm thick and 5 to 6 cm wide.

Can I immerse the stone in water to clean it?

No, never immerse the stone. Water would penetrate its pores and could cause it to crack or burst during the next heating. Clean it only dry after cooling.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

The cord must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service, or a similarly qualified person. Do not use the appliance with a damaged cord.

The appliance emits an odor or smoke during first use, is this normal?

Yes, a slight emission of odor or smoke may occur during the first use. This is normal and will disappear after a few uses.

Can I use acidic foods (vinegar, mustard) on the stone?

No, avoid direct contact of acidic foods such as vinegar, mustard, pickles, or gherkins with the stone, as they could damage it.

How to clean the heating element?

The heating element does not need cleaning. If it is very dirty, wait until it is completely cool and rub it with a dry cloth. Never use water or liquid.

  • Always plug the appliance into an earthed socket.
• If an extension cord is used, it must be with an incorporated earth connection.

If your appliance is fitted with a removable power cord

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable or unit available from the manufacturer or its after-sales service.

If your appliance is fitted with a fixed power cord

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

- Do not place the stone in contact with acidic foods such as vinegar products, mustard, pickled gherkins, pickles, etc. as they will damage the stone.
- Never place objects (other than food) on the stone.
- Any small cracks or fissures are due to the stone expansion and are natural and will not affect the function of the appliance. They are therefore not a reason for replacement.
• After a few uses, the stone will permanently turn a darker, deeper colour.

Each stone is a natural unique material. It can be more or less permeable depending on how porous the stone is. A stone immersed in water during cleaning may crack or break the next time it is heated on the appliance.

Precautions for cleaning the wooden support

• Each support is made from wood which is a unique natural material.
• Wood is permeable, depending on its porosity, and if the wooden support is immersed in water during cleaning it may crack or break.
• Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.

Environment protection first!

i Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.

Use about 200 g of food per person: use fresh products only (not frozen unless completely thawed first).

Remove gristle and fat from meat. Debone fish. Cut thick shellfish in half.

Cut meat, fish, vegetables or fruits in slices of about 1/2 cm thick and 5 - 6 cm long. Cooking irregular-sized pieces will not give the best results with this appliance.

The Pierrade is not suitable for cooking large pieces of food such as steaks, chicken pieces etc or fatty foods such as bacon, sausages or burgers.

If preparing a large or complete meal (firm textured fish, shellfish (shelled), lean meat and boneless poultry and fruits), it is recommended you clean the stone between different kinds of food (e.g. meat and fruits) in order to fully appreciate the taste and flavour. To clean, use the scraper supplied with the appliance (depending on model) or a spatula. Then wipe the stone to remove any remaining food particles using kitchen paper.

Do not clean the stone with water, as this may cause thermal shock which will break it.

Set the thermostat (depending on model) to the position of your choice. Due to the denseness of the stone, it will take 5 to 10 minutes to respond to a change in temperature setting when the appliance is in use.

Turn off the appliance before the end of the meal: the stone will remain hot for at least ten minutes, and the last pieces of food will continue to cook.

Recipes:

Place slices of meat, fish, vegetables or fruits on the stone and cook to your taste. Season to taste on your plate. Accompany with cold sauces, salad and potatoes.
