INTRODUCTION
With your new RACLETTE/GRILL/FONDUE you can prepare raclette cheese or grilled food
on the stone or grill plate, or fondue for 8 people.
It is ideal to enjoy a meal in a cosy circle and is eminently suitable if your family likes to eat
at various times, or favours different dishes.
PREPARATION FOR USE
This RACLETTE/GRILL/FONDUE has been designed so that you and your guests can prepare
t
heir meal individually. That’s why the appliance should be placed
at the centre of the
table and the food should be served separately on plates or in bowls.
Raclette parties are fun, but not without danger. It makes sense to put the RACLETTE/GRILL/
FONDUE on a clean, even, steady surface, as this will give the best results.
OPERATION
•
Before using your appliance for the first time, take away the packaging materials and
clean the fondue forks, the fondue pot, the pans and the grilling surface thoroughly
with a damp cloth.
•
Hold the stone under running water (you can use a sponge to improve the cleaning).
Never use abrasives or cleaning products. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
•
Before each use, oil the non-stick coated plate.
•
Place the polished side of the stone to the top. Make sure the stone and the grill-plate
are correctly placed on the base.
•
Oil the polished surface of the stone with a kitchen paper or with a small brush coated
with heat-resistant table oil (olive or groundnut oil). Let the oil penetrate the stone and
then take away the superfluous oil.
•
When it is first switched on, the heating element may smell and emit some smoke. This
is normal; the grease that may have adhered to the element during manufacture is
burning off. We therefore recommend that you heat up the appliance for about 10
minutes without any food (ventilate the room during this period). This phenomenon will
not occur anymore in the future.
•
Always preheat the grill-plate during more or less 10 minutes and the stone during more
or less 25 minutes before using the appliance.
•
In order to prevent grease stains on your table cloth, don’t forget to put another, easy
-
washing cloth under your appliance.
•
To switch on your appliance, after having read and observed all important
safeguards, put the plug in an earthed power outlet and press the ON/OFF switch. The
switch will light up, indicating that the appliance is in operation.
Hint
: When your appliance is warming up and the raclette pans are clean, you can put
them on the appliance to warm them up but never leave raclette pans that have already
been used in the appliance, as the food residues might burn.
