4. CLEANING
Make sure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket and that the appliance has cooled down
fully. Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth with
washing-up liquid. Never use hard brushes, abrasive materials, disinfectants, sodacontaining or aggressive
cleaning agents.
If the black part of the cheese holder becomes faded after use, it can be rubbed with sunflower or olive oil.
RECIPE
Traditional Raclette
Ingredients:
• raclette cheese
• 2 to 3 potatoes per person
• pickled gherkins and/or pearl onions
• slices of raw ham
• pepper and salt
Preparation:
• boil the potatoes in their jackets, serve on a dish (in slices if required)
• install the raclette appliance and allow the cheese to melt
• scrape the melted cheese onto a plate with potatoes, pickled gherkins or pearl onions and raw ham
• after melting and scraping off four or five layers of cheese there will be a crisp coating along the
sides of the cut edge. Cut this off and place it on top of the melting surface so that it becomes nice
and crunchy and will be scraped off with the next raclette. This crunchy crust is called ‘religieuse’
and is a true delicacy; it is traditionally offered to guests
• season with pepper and salt, if required.
Raclette can be varied according to taste. It is, for example, very tasty with French bread, tomatoes, mush-
rooms, pineapple, olives, blanched celery, broccoli and other vegetables. It makes a delicious combination
with a glass of dry white wine or tea.
Enjoy your Raclette!
