BEFORE STARTING UP
Ensure:
That there are no leaks.
That the flexible metal or rubber hose is not in contact with the parts of the appliance that may become hot and that
it is visible along its full length (from the appliance to the bottle) and easily accessible.
TURNING ON THE “PLANCHA” CONTACT-GRIDDLE
Every burner is controlled by a valve with a control lever and an ignition button.
The control lever has a symbol (
l
) that indicates the valve’s condition.
1. Open the valve located on the gas bottle, press the fixed
pressure reducer’s reset button.
2. Press and turn the control lever to the full flow position (large
circle) and simultaneously press the ignition button.
3. Continue to press down the control lever a moment longer to
trigger the gas safety device.
4. Visually check that the appliance is on by looking through the
cooking plate.
5. Do the same for each burner.
6. Then adjust the height of the flame by turning the control
lever(s) from full flow (large circle) to reduced flow (small circle)
(See Figure 2).
7. To turn it off, bring the control lever(s) to the closed position
(

) then close the gas bottle’s valve.

Note:
A flame (long match or long-beaked lighter) can also be used if the igniter is not working. To this end, place the flame
close to the burner by passing through the plancha’s body and the cooking plate and ignite as explained above.
Repeat the action for each burner.
USE
NOTE: When using for the first time, we recommend operating your plancha empty for 10 minutes at medium flow.
It is possible that a slight smell will emanate from your appliance for a few minutes.
Before cooking, pre-heat your appliance for approximately 10 minutes.
To recover your food’s cooking juices, place a jar in the intended opening located on the left-hand side of the plancha.
CLEANING AND SERVICING
To clean your plate, leave it on the frame of the plancha. It only takes one minute to clean your plate. Cleaning must
be carried out when the plancha is turned off but while the plate is still warm. If this is not the case, continue to operate
the burners for another few minutes. Scrape the largest residues using a stainless steel scraper. Pour water on the plate
and scrub using stainless steel wool. Renew the operation until the plate is spotless. Carefully wipe with a paper towel.
Be careful with the capacity of the collecting tray: do not forget to empty it on a regular basis. Use protective gloves if
the tray is still warm.
Check out our tutorial on our YouTube channel.
CAUTION: The ice cube method is to be avoided. It presents a risk of thermal shock which could damage the plate
(flaking of the enamel, for example).
If the appliance has not been used for a long period of time, check and, if need be, cleanthe burners and the air vents
with pressurised air so as to remove potential residues (dirt, insect nests, spider webs, etc.).
STORAGE
Store your plancha in a dry and dust-free place where it will not be damaged. Before storing your plancha, disconnect
the gas bottle and store it outside in a dry and well-vented place, far from any source of heat.
