Use of the Coup de Feu
A
B
C
The large “Coup de feu” solid cast iron plate made of
concentric rings allows you to rest the pan (or several pans)
directly on the surface (fig. B, C). The plate is heated by means
of a gas burner (fig. A).
The plate is designed to provide a moderately intense heat
which is well distributed over the surface. This is ideal for slow
cooking and particularly for sauces, browning and grilling,
heating dishes or keeping them warm. Switch the burner on 15-
20 minutes before use to allow the cast iron plate to accumulate
heat. You will then be able to use the plate even when switched
off for a further 10-15 minutes. The middle of the plate is the
area where the highest temperatures are reached whereas the
outer part is cooler. By simply moving the pan from the middle
to the outside of the plate, you can obtain different cooking
intensities without regulating the flame. Pan dimensions
permitting, several dishes can be cooked at the same time (fig.
C). If necessary it can be used as a handy top, providing ample
space for resting pots and pans.
The XG Grill Compartment (only on XG models)
The powerful 2.45kW grill is designed for use with the
compartment door open. A cooling fan situated behind
the control panel keeps the control knobs at a comfortable
temperature, even when the grill is in use.
The grill compartment is fitted with telescopic runners to make
it easier to access your food.
To locate the grill pan onto the runners, simply extend both
runners, then lower the grill pan into place, ensuring that the
vertical pins locate in the hole at each corner of the grill pan
tray.
To use the grill
1.
Use the reversible trivet to select the correct height for the
food you wish to grill. Using the trivet at the lowest height
will help to slow down the cooking process.
2.
Turn the grill control knob clockwise to 3 or 4 to pre-heat
the grill.
3.
Once preheated, keep the grill glowing, to do this make
sure the orange lamp is illuminated when the food is
in place. (The grill only works by the radiant heat from
the element.) Unless you require less heat, it may be
necessary to constantly increase grill temperature control
to maintain grilling
4.
To turn off the grill, turn the control knob anti-clockwise
to the “O” off position. At the end of cooking remove
the grill pan for cleaning. If high fat content foods have
been prepared, leave the grill turned on at maximum
temperature for 20 to 50 seconds without the grill pan in
place, this will burn off any fatty residue on the elements
and activate the stay clean liner on the roof of the grill
compartment. Always use oven gloves when handling
the grill pan and turning food. Do not line the grill pan
with aluminium foil, this can cause damage to the enamel
coating and the grill elements.
