Information

The plancha is a Spanish cooking method which involves grilling food on a plate made from cast iron, steel, aluminium or stainless steel.

This cooking method was devised by pilgrims in the 19 ^th century. During pilgrimage celebrations, large plates were laid on embers. This method was used to cook all types of food in very large quantities.

Over time, cooking on a plancha became more sophisticated and popular. It is now widely used in restaurants and tapas bars to cook lots of different food in a way that is both tasty and healthy. This method of cooking offers great benefits as it seals in the flavour of the food being cooked. The plancha is easy to use. Just heat up the appliance for 10 minutes before cooking.

The intense heat sears food and grills it, keeping the flesh, juices and aromas intact.

With its fun, laid back and relaxed feel, the plancha's natural home is outdoors.

It is very simple to use and does not require any particular skills. You just need a few utensils, such as tongs and broad spatulas to flip the food.

INSTALLATION

Before first use, remove the PVC film from the cooking plate and drip tray and clean the plate with soapy water.

Set the plancha on a horizontal, non-flammable surface (e.g. tiles, firebrick, stainless steel, etc.). Make sure there is a distance of at least 10 cm between the plancha and any adjacent walls.

If this appliance must be placed in close proximity to a wall, partition, kitchen furniture, decorative borders, etc., they should be of non-flammable material. If not, they should be covered by appropriate heat insulating, non-combustible material, with particular attention paid to fire prevention regulations.

Assemble the drip tray handles as shown in the diagram below :

Technical line drawing showing a mechanical assembly with a cylindrical component and a rectangular component, no text or symbols present.

Place the filter in the drip tray to capture cooking run-off.

PROTECTIVE LID

Assemble the protective lid as shown in the diagram below :

Technical line drawing of a portable kitchen appliance with handle and control panel (no text or symbols)

Set the plancha in a sheltered location, away from wind and draughts.

The lid will protect your appliance from the elements. Ensure the lid is open before using the plancha. Do not close the lid during cooking.

After the appliance has been switched off, wait for it to cool completely before cleaning and closing the lid.

Hold the lid handle securely when closing the lid and check nothing is trapped between the lid and the plate and/or outer casing of the appliance.

We recommend storing the appliance with the lid closed.

We recommend the use of commercial 6 kg or 13 kg butane or propane gas cylinders with an appropriate pressure regulator.

Keep the gas cylinder as far away as possible from any heat source. Place it on the ground, next to or behind the plancha.

Keep the gas cylinder at least 0.5 metres away from the plancha or any other heat source.

CONNECTION

Check that the temperature control knobs are set to "Off".

Ensure that the connection complies with the regulations in the country of use.

The plancha must be connected via a hose and connector, located at the back of the appliance (see Figure 3). To connect it, remove the yellow protective cap on the 12 " gas connector and keep it for storing.

For example, for France: NF hose for 3^rd family gases butane/propane:

• NF D36-125 metallic hose with unlimited lifespan.
  – NF D36-112 hose with a lifespan of 10 years

The hose should be a suitable length, up to 1.5 m, and must be visible over its entire length.

Check that the hose is in good condition and replace it if it appears cracked or damaged. The hose must lie naturally with no twists or pulling. Ensure it does not come into contact with any hot parts of the appliance. After connecting the hose to the appliance, connect the pressure regulator to the hose and gas cylinder as per the instructions supplied with the pressure regulator and hose. Then, perform a leak-tightness test as follows:

• Check leak-tightness by using soapy water away from any heat source (cigarettes, electrical appliances, etc.).
• Never test leak-tightness using a flame.
• Put soapy water on all connections, open the gas inlet and then check for the formation of bubbles.
• If any bubbles form, then there is a leak. Close the gas cylinder and tighten the connections, then perform another leak-tightness test.

- If the leak persists or comes from a different part, stop using your plancha and contact your dealer.

Never use an appliance that leaks gas.

CHANGING THE GAS CYLINDER

Always turn off the control knobs and gas cylinder valve before changing the gas cylinder.

Change the gas cylinder in a well-ventilated location away from any heat source (cigarettes, electrical appliance, etc.).

Whenever you change the gas cylinder, perform a leak-tightness test.

Use

SWITCHING ON

- The appliance is ready for use.

- Open the valve on the gas cylinder.

- Open the plancha valve by turning the knob to the high flame position (image on the ring around the knob).

- Once in this position, push in the knob and press the igniter switch to light the burner. Check that the burner is completely lit by looking through the openings on the side of the appliance.

- Keep the knob pressed in for 5 - 10 seconds to engage the thermocouple safety system (see Figure 5).

- Then release the knob and wait for the burner to heat the cooking plate to the required temperature.

- Preheat the plancha by setting the control knob to the high flame position for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn it to the low flame position.

- Your appliance is ready for use.

NOTES

The first time you use your plancha, you may notice some smoke and an odour from the appliance. This is normal.

SWITCHING OFF

• After use, switch off the appliance by turning both knobs to the vertical position, pointing to the image of a circle.
• Close the valve on the gas cylinder.
• Disconnect the supply hose from the appliance and store it in a dry, well-ventilated location. The gas cylinder must also be stored in a dry, well-ventilated location, away from sources of heat.

COOKING

With its two separate heating areas, this model allows two different types of food to be cooked simultaneously, such as meat or fish on one side and vegetables on the other.

Preheat the plancha by setting the control knob to the high flame position for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn it to the low flame position.

Choose the cooking temperature according to the food (see cooking chart).

If necessary, coat the plate evenly with oil using a pad or brush.

Place the food on the plate and cook by adjusting the size of the flames manually as required.

With practice you will get to know the temperatures that are best suited to the foods being cooked, according to their thickness, texture and your taste. The times indicated below are for information only.

CONSEILS

In order to avoid making deep scratches on the plate, do not cut your food directly on it.

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

Do not cook at too high a temperature as this may char the plate and make it difficult to clean. The plancha can be used for keeping food warm at the end of cooking by adjusting the lever to the low flame.

For all our recommendations for use and recipes, go to our website at www.krampouz.com.

Maintenance and cleaning

THE PLATE

Scratches and black spots appear soon during the normal course of use of the appliance. This will not impair cooking in any way.

Upon delivery, the ferritic stainless steel plate of the plancha will have a matte appearance.

It is easier if the plancha is still lukewarm. Beware risks of burns.

Use a rigid spatula to remove the bulk of the juices adhering to the cooking plate by pushing them towards the removable tray for collecting cooking residues.

Then thoroughly moisten the cooking plate to water down the remaining juices (using a sponge filled with water or by dropping ice cubes on it). Leave for a few minutes.

Use the rigid spatula to remove the remaining watered down juices by pushing them towards the removable tray for collecting cooking residues.

Finish cleaning with an abrasive then a soft sponge.

Pour white vinegar onto the plate to remove odours and residual flavours.

After cooking salty preparations, the cooking plate must be cleaned promptly (risk of the plate being corroded by the salt). Do not use cleaning products that contain chlorine on stainless steel, as they may cause corrosion.

THE FRAME

Clean the ferritic stainless steel outer casing with a damp sponge. Do not use an abrasive sponge, scourer or brush. Ensure the appliance is cold before cleaning.

DRIP TRAY AND FILTER

The drip tray and filter collect cooking run-off. Wait until the appliance is cool, then empty and clean them before next use. The filter is dishwasher safe.

BURNERS

From time to time, check the condition of the flame holes on the burners and the venturis which may become obstructed by insect nests, cobwebs or dirt.

If the flame holes are clogged, use a hard bristle brush to clear them. We strongly recommend that you do not use metallic objects to clean the venturis, as they are likely to modify the technical specifications of the burners.

We therefore recommend that you blow inside the venturi. Access the burners and venturis by removing the bottom plate from the appliance (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

ELECTRONIC IGNITER

The appliance is supplied with an AAA battery (1.5 Volts). To change the battery, refer to the diagram below.
