How to use your grill
Before using the appliance for the first time
Slide the pan grips on to the handles until
they lock in place.
Before using the grill for the first time, clean
the mini-pans with a damp cloth. The stone
should be cleaned with a synthetic sponge
(but without the use of any detergent) under
running water. Wipe thoroughly dry
afterwards with a soft cloth.
Before using the appliance for the first time,
we recommend you allow it to heat up for 10
minutes without any food. This will lessen
the smell typically encountered when first
switching on a new grill (a slight smell and a
little smoke may still be emitted - ensure
sufficient ventilation).
Storage for mini-pans
The mini-pan storage slots are located in the
base of the appliance. Al-low the pans to
cool down before pushing them into the
slots.
Stone
● Fit the stone on to the appliance over the
heating element, with the polished side
up. Caution: avoid placing a cold stone
on to a hot element.
-
The stone can be used for cooking
vegetables, sliced meat or fish etc. as
required.
-
This stone is made of natural material.
Small cracks resulting from natural
expansion and contraction during
heating and cooling, as well as a change
to a darker colour, are normal and have
no detrimental effects.
-
Do not place any frozen food or items
containing vinegar (such as pickled
gherkins or mustard) on the stone.
-
Do not let the appliance remain on for
more than 30 minutes unless there is food
on the stone.
Operation
-
Connect the grill to the mains supply and
allow the appliance to pre-heat. The pre-
heating time for the stone is 25 – 30
minutes, while 10 minutes is sufficient for
the raclette grill.
-
The stone should be lightly greased with
a small amount of oil or fat specifically
intended for frying, which may be safely
heated to high temperatures.
-
If the stone is being used, put the food on
top.
-
Put the raclette cheese into the mini-
pans. Place the mini-pans into the
appliance underneath the heating
element, and leave them in place until
the cheese has melted.
Caution: do not place empty mini-pans
into the appliance while it is switched on.
-
When grilling is completed, remove the
plug from the wall socket.
How to prepare raclette cheese
Use about 200 to 300 grammes per person of
a suitable soft cheese. Cut the cheese into 3
to 5 mm slices and put them into the mini-
pans. Cheeses such as original raclette, Tilsit
or Appenzell are the most suit-able, but any
other fast-melting cheese can also be used.
Remember that with the overhead heat the
cheese will melt quite quickly.
Practical hints
-
Frozen food should always be properly
thawed before it is cooked.
-
To avoid damage to the surface of the
stone as well as to the coating of the mini-
pans, do not use any abrasive, sharp or
pointed utensils.
-
When grilling larger quantities of food,
the accumulated fat should be carefully
removed from time to time.
General care and cleaning
● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
