Preparing the cooker
The surfaced cast iron griddles need seasoning before using for the first time
Seasoning of the griddles
Caution
: this operation (lasting 1 to 1 ½ hour) is necessary when griddles are new.
Use frying oil without other ingredient.
For successful seasoning:
- Use the cleaning pad ATE1 and one to 3 piled wipes
- Plug the power supply cable
- Switch on the appliance
- Heat the appliance in heated to 250°C. Your appliance reaches the required temperature when the orange
indicator light goes out. Keep the appliance at this temperature for the duration of seasoning.
- For the first 4 layers: pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the plate. Spread uniformly using the pad. Allow to dry
until there is no more smoke: 5 to 10 minutes.
- From the 5th to the 9th layer: pour ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the plate. Spread uniformly using the pad.
Allow to dry until there is no more smoke: 5 to 10 minutes.
- Last layer: pass the pad over the plate without adding fat.
- End result: seasoning which looks like varnish, light chestnut in colour.
For the first run, between each crêpe, grease the newly based plate well.
