USER GUIDE
The fry-top (fig. 14) consists of a stainless-steel plate, suitable for contact with food
[ ] with a uniformity of temperature on the cooking surface and with a very low heat
loss. To use the appliance, light the flame below the plate by means of the
corresponding knob ( see “Lighting the burners” ) and ensure that there is a flame.
Turn the knob to maximum for about 10 minutes and wait for the plate to heat up.
Once this time has elapsed, the plate is ready to start cooking.
By adjusting the flame, there is no limit to your culinary imagination. If you turn the
control knob to the low setting, this allows slow or dietetic cooking. Higher
temperatures are suitable for cooking meat, fish and vegetables. The Fry-Top plate is
ideal for Oriental cooking with an optional accessory (Dome lid) needed for this type of
cooking (available for purchase. Some models are supplied with the spatula shown in
figure 15, which is useful both for cooking and for cleaning the plate.
It is recommended to clean the plate thoroughly at the end of each cooking session.
With the plate hot and the flame at minimum, remove the cooking residue using the
scraper provided (fig. 15). Pour a little water onto the plate and, still using the scraper,
continue cleaning the plate. Once the water has completely evaporated, repeat the
same operation even several times until the desired result is obtained. It is extremely
important to clean the plate when it is quite hot.
The black enamel flue may be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked with a solution of
lukewarm soapy water or a mix of water & white vinegar. Rinse and dry after cleaning.
