liquids or gases are located.
Attention! Hazard of fire!

• Pull the power plug after each use for safe switch-off.
• Do not use the appliance as space heater.
Prior to initial use
IMPORTANT: Pre-treat the stone plate!
Before use - in order to avoid stress cracks at the stone plate - it is necessary to pre-treat the stone for its
future utilisation. This treatment will give an even colour to the stone.
• sparingly oil the stone plate by using a high-temperature resisting oil or fat (e.g. peanut-oil). Do not use
cold-pressed oil (e.g. olive oil) or butter.
• put the stone plate into your oven and pre-heat it at 250 °C for at least 30 minutes
• afterwards let the stone plate cool down in the switched-off oven
Please observe:
stone is a natural material and not chemically treated. Small fissures as well as a darker
colour that occur during use are quite normal and no reason for complaints (excluded from warranty
claims).
For a start, please clean the pans and the small shovels in warm water with a little amount of dishwashing
detergent.
Prior to initial operation, the heating elements‘ protective layer has to be burned in
.
In order to do so, please heat up the appliance without pans at maximum power for about 10 minutes.
Please do not be bothered by the harmless smokes and smells that will be generated for a short while.
As with other grill plates, it is recommended for the first use to brown a little bit of bacon or to spread a
small amount of oil on/in it so that the grilled food comes loose more easily.
Caution
! If too much fat is spread on the grill plate, the fat might splash.

• Pre-heat the appliance – without the pans – at maximum power for 30 minutes.
• With the rotary switch, the temperature can be infinitely adjusted according to requirements.
