OPERATION & ACCESSORIES
Plancha
* NOTE : This optional cooktop feature is non-
removable and cannot be added after time of
manufacture.
The Plancha is a high-heat griddle option
(made of chrome-plated steel), which is
comparable to teppanyaki grills in Japa-
nese restaurants. The design and high-heat
features of the Plancha are ideal for searing
meat, seafood, or vegetables and provides
a very healthy way to prepare your family’s
meals. Heat intensity can be easily adjusted.
The Plancha is an electrically-powered direct
cooking surface and will require oiling before
each use, as well as between applications of
food. This will help to avoid any sticking and to
make the cleanup process easier. The Plancha
is operated by the toggle switch below on the
control panel. To achieve even-heating, turn
on the Plancha at least 15-20 minutes prior to use. When done cooking,
the Plancha will remain hot for an extended period of time (up to an hour or
more depending on temperature). Do not put cover down until fully cool or
may cause warping.
To clean, while surface is warm (but not overly hot), use a pair of tongs and
a few ice cubes or a rag that has been dipped in a vinegar solution, wipe the
heated surface to remove initial food residue. Next, use the included scraper
tool making sure to only scrape front to back to avoid gouging the surface.
Note that the Plancha will naturally develop a worn look after repeated use.
For a more thorough cleaning, we recommend the 3M Griddle cleaning sys-
tem. It is food safe and achieves the best results. Follow the manufacturer’s
directions and be careful not to burn yourself while using.
Note:
RESET the Electric Oven “Safety” Reset switch for any electric oven or
cooktop option if necessary. This electro-mechanical “Safety” can become
partially tripped during transit or triggered by electrical surge at first power-up
after installation. If you find that after proper installation everything seems to
function except the Electric Oven, Plancha, Multi-Cooker, or Induction option
then “Safeties” for each may have been tripped. See Electric Oven Reset
Video online.
