be round or square, usually with six to eight pans, on which guests
place their cheese, fi sh, spices according to the recipe and their
own taste. Upon warming up, the preparation stage takes from 15
to 30 minutes – according to the type of food. True experts drink
non-sweetened black tea or bitter liquor along with raclettes.
Here, we will most likely stay with the shepherd-wine tradition:
dry wine.
Stone plate
Hot natural whinstone, perhaps another polished lava stone,
marble – you can apply a bit of grease, or not, add spices, carved
up pieces of meat, fi sh, vegetables and fruit. Thanks to the natural
preparation of food, the composition does not change, the taste
remains natural and the aroma develops within a short time of
grilling. The reward is the preservation of minerals and vitamins.
USING THE APPLIANCE
Place the grill on a fi rm, fl at surface to ensure stability and enough
space around the grill. Put the grill and stone plate on the heating
unit. Use only stones supplied together with the device or
purchased at an authorized service centre and only on a specifi ed
base.
Do not put aluminium foil or anything else under the stone or
between the heating unit and refl ecting glass.
Before using the grill for the fi rst time, wipe the plate and grilling
pans with a damp cloth and spread a small amount of edible oil on
the grilling plate using a small cloth.
The red light will go on immediately after the device is plugged
into the socket. It will turn off once it is disconnected. The right red
indicator lamp will light when the temperature control is turned
from “1–8” and will again turn off upon reaching the selected
temperature. This lamp will go on or off during the grilling process,
depending on the achieved grill temperature. The thermostat
settings only have an informative nature (see table below) and
we recommend trying to prepare food so that its taste and quality
would correspond with your requirements. Before using the
device, always pre-heat the grill on the highest level for 10–15
minutes and the stone plate for a maximum of 20–30 minutes.
After using the device for the fi rst ten times, pour a small amount
of vegetable oil on the stone and wipe with an absorbent cloth.
This will limit food becoming stuck to the stone.
Note:
The fi rst use of the appliance can be accompanied by a
slight odour or smoke. The odour can be caused by greases
that became stuck to the heating unit during production
and are now brining. Therefore, we recommend warming
up the grill for 10 minutes without placing any food onto
it (make sure to provide suffi
cient ventilation during this
interval).

Grilling tips
Recipes at www.ecg-electro.eu
Pay attention to the quality of grilled products, the freshness of
meat, vegetables, fi sh and marinades. Always wash your hands
before preparing meat, poultry and fi sh and keep your grilling
instruments clean. Keep the food you intend to prepare in the
refrigerator until the last moment, never leave meat to marinate at
room temperature. Do not place already grilled meat onto a plate
or counter, where raw meat was prepared before, always maintain
a suffi
ciently high temperature for roasting through. Try following
the same procedure even for grilling forks and other instruments.
Cooking
After the warm-up stage, this device is prepared for use:
With the raclette function,
each guest places a slice of cheese
into his pan and the pans are then inserted into the device. Do not
leave empty pans in the device.
When using the stone plate,
each guest places slices of meat,
fi sh, vegetables or fruit onto the stone to grill.
Do not place frozen or heavy foods on a hot stone. Do not
allow the stone to come into contact with acidic foods such as
vinegar products, mustard, sour pickles, pickled vegetables...
Do not put any foreign objects onto the stone.
Do not leave an empty device on for longer than 30 minutes:
the stone will become too overheated for quality grilling.
Note:
Small cracks, caused by the stone expanding, are natural
and do not aff ect the function of the device. This is not
considered a reason for returning the device. After being
used several times, the stone will get a non-removable dark
colour. When using the device for the fi rst time, the fi rst few
minutes of use can be accompanied by a smell and smoke.
Do not touch hot surfaces of the device.
Place all ingredients in the middle of the table prior to roasting,
turn on the device and roast according to the manual. Do not
forget the various side dishes, for example relish, pickled onions,
preserved red beets or cherries, which give the food a richer taste
and contribute to a pleasant evening.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or handling the device in any way, disconnect the
cord from the socket and leave the device to cool. Allow the stone
to cool at least an hour before cleaning and storing. Do not touch
the stone during this period.
Keep the device away from children during the cool down period.
After the device has cooled, wipe the stone plate, grill, pans and
appliance base with a cloth and use a slightly damp cloth with a
dishwashing agent for cleaning the most contaminated areas.
Do not use rough sponges or cleaning powder. Do not immerse
the appliance or power cord into water.
Safety measures before cleaning the stone plate
Each stone is natural and unique. Each stone is more and less
penetrable depending on its unique properties and by immersing
