How to use your grill

Before first use

• Remove any packing materials completely.
• Before first use, wipe the grill plate and mini-pans with a damp cloth.
• We recommend that you heat up the appliance and the pans for about 10 minutes, without any food, to eliminate the smell typically encountered when first switching on a grill. A small amount of smoke may also be noticeable, so the room may have to be ventilated during this period. You may notice a slight odour, which will disappear shortly. Ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows and balcony doors.

Grill plate

• Before switching on the appliance, position the grill plate on top of it over the heating elements with the ribbed side up such that the recesses on the underside fit over the guide rails of the frame.
• The grill plate can be used for cooking vegetables, meat or fish.
• We recommend using the ribbed surface for meat and the smooth surface for fish and vegetables.
• You can also use the smooth surface to prepare thin pancakes or crêpes.

Variable thermostat

• The variable thermostat controls the operating time of the heating element, with the yellow indicator light showing its current operating status.
  Heating element on = indicator light on Heating element off = indicator light off
• When melting cheese or grilling, the maximum setting should be used (thermostat control all the way to the right).
• Simply to keep food warm, the thermostat should be adjusted to a lower setting (thermostat control further to the left).
• Turn the thermostat all the way to the left and unplug the appliance from the mains after use.

Operation

• Place the grill plate onto the unit as described above.
• Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket and turn the thermostat all the way to the right.
• After a pre-heating time of about 10 minutes, the grill plate is ready for use.
• Place the food to be cooked on the grill plate. We recommend applying a light coat of oil to the grill plate first to prevent the food from sticking.
• Put the raclette cheese into the mini-pans and place them into the appliance under the heating element; then leave them until the cheese has melted.

• Warning: Do not place empty mini-pans in the appliance while it is switched on, but leave them on a heat-resistant surface.

• When preparing thin pancakes or crêpes, put some batter in the middle of the grill plate, spread it with a crêpes spatula and flip it over after a while.

• Turn the thermostat all the way to the left and unplug the appliance from the mains after use.

How to prepare raclette cheese

Use about 200 to 300 grammes of suitable cheese per person. Cut the cheese into slices about 3 to 5 mm thick and put them into the mini-pans. It is preferable to use original raclette cheese but any other fast-melting cheese is also suitable.

Practical hints

• Frozen food should always be properly thawed before it is cooked.
• Avoid using sharp objects when placing or removing food to prevent scratching the surface of the mini-pans and grill plate.

Cleaning and care

• Before cleaning the appliance, always make sure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket and allow the appliance to cool down completely.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water.
• Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.

• Wipe the outer surfaces of the grill with a clean damp cloth.
