Operation

Installation

Install the Griddle on a flat surface coated with an inflammable material (tiles, fire brick, etc.). The distance between the Griddle and the adjacent walls must be at least 2 m.

We recommend bottles of commercial butane or propane, using the appropriate pressure regulator.

Keep the gas bottle as far away as possible from any heat sources, placing it on the ground alongside or behind the Griddle.

Plug IN

Make sure the control knobs are in the off position. The Griddle must be connected using the connection under (3/8 flare)

The hose length must be suitable for your use and visible along its entire length, without exceeding 1.5m.

Check that the flexible hose is in good condition and do not hesitate to change it if it looks cracked or damaged. The flexible hose must not be twisted or pulled and must not come into contact with hot parts of the appliance. After connecting the hose to the appliance, connect the pressure regulator to the hose and the gas cylinder, following the instructions supplied with the pressure regulator and the hose. Then check for gas leaks as follows:

Check for leaks using soapy water, away from any heat sources (cigarette, electrical appliance, etc.).

Never test for leaks using a flame.

• Put soapy water on all the connections, turn on the gas inlet and check whether any bubbles form.
• The presence of a bubble = gas leak; shut the gas cylinder and tighten the connections again. Repeat the test for leaks.
• If the leak persists or comes from another part, do not use your Griddle and contact the manufacturer.

Your Griddle is build for an Propane (LPG) or Natural GAS (NG), but the original configuration is Propane.

If you want to use it with Natural gas you must:

- Unscrew the 2 retaining screw M4 of burner

Changing the gas bottle

Gas Bottle must always be changed with the control knobs in the off position and the tap of the gas Bottle shut.

Gas Bottle must be changed in a well ventilated place, away from any heat sources (cigarette, electrical appliance, etc.).

Always check for gas leaks after every gas bottle change.

Use

Switching on

1. Once installed, the appliance is ready to use. Make sure the gas inlet is turn on after having pressed down the pressure regulator trigger. If you smell gas, shut the gas inlet of the appliance and tighten the connections again. If the smell persists, check the connection (see FIG.6) and the pressure tap screw (see FIG.6) and contact your qualified gas fitter.
2. When switching on for the first-time after installation, push the knob, position it to the big flame position and hold it down for 5 seconds to allow air to escape from the gas line to the burner, then release the knob.
3. Turn on the tap by turning the knob to the left, turn the control knob to big flame position (drawing on knob).
4. Holding it in this position, push the knob down against the frame and press the ignition button until it generates a spark and light the burner.
5. Keep the knob depressed for 5 to 10 seconds to trigger the thermocouple safety system.
6. Then release the knob and allow the burner to heat the hot plate to the right temperature.
7. Your appliance is now ready for use.

Comments

• The appliance may give off a little smoke or odor the first time it is used; this is perfectly normal.
• Each time it is switched on, push and turn the knob to the big flame position and hold it down for 5 seconds to allow air to escape, then release the knob.
• To see the flame, look through the side of the appliance.

Extinction

1. After use, switch off your appliance, turning the 2 knobs clockwise to Off position.
2. Shut the gas bottle tap.
3. Disconnect the gas hose from the appliance and store in a dry, well ventilated place. The gas Bottle must also be stored in a dry, well ventilated place, away from any heat sources.

Cooking:

Over time, you will be able to gauge the right cooking temperature according to the thickness and texture of food and adapt it to your taste.

The temperatures and times given below are intended as an indication only.

Advice:

Do not cut food directly on the plate to avoid causing deep scratches.

Do not leave kitchen utensils on the Griddle, such as cutlery, wooden spoons, plastic utensils, etc.

Do not overheat when cooking as this could blacken the plate and make cleaning difficult.

The Griddle can be used to keep food warm after cooking.

Cleaning and maintenance

The frame

To avoid any risk of burns, you are advised to always allow the hot plate to cool down before cleaning the frame. Clean with a sponge soaked in warm water and detergent. Never use abrasives or steel wire brushes.

The hot plate

The plate is easier to clean when the Griddle is still slightly warm. Beware of the risk of burns. The stainless steel plate on the Griddle is shiny before use. The surface is likely to become dull and scratched once utensils have been used. After a while, the scratches will fade and the plate will have a brushed, weathered look.

After the appliance has been used several times, grease residues may appear on the hot plate; this is perfectly normal.

To remove these, pour a glass of cold water or place ice cubes on the hot plate and scrape off residue with a spatula or scraper. You can also soak residues in water.

During use, these residues may become detached by themselves; this does not mean that the hot plate has been damaged.

With a rigid spatula, remove most of the sticky residue on the hot plate by pushing it towards the drip tray.

Then pour some water on the hot plate to soak the remaining residue (use a wet sponge or ice cubes).

Leave for a few minutes.

With a rigid spatula, remove the water and sticky residue and push it towards the juice tank Clean with a scouring pad and then a soft sponge.

Pour some vinegar on the plate to remove smells and strong tastes.

Clean the plate promptly after preparing salty food to avoid any risk of corrosion. Do not use chlorine based cleaning products as they can also cause corrosion.

The burner

Check the condition of the flame holes on the burners from time to time. If they are blocked, brush the arms with a stiff bristled brush. Before using again, wipe the burners thoroughly along with the base of the Griddle.

To clean the injectors, you are strongly advised against using metal objects as these could alter the technical specifications of the burners.

The juice tank

It allows to recover the cooking juice.

You must handle it when it is cold, it must be emptied and cleaned after each use.

The Igniter

It is delivered with an AA (1,5V) battery.

To change this battery unscrew the switch on the front panel.
