How to use your raclette grill
Before fi rst use
Remove any packing materials completely.
Before using your raclette grill for the fi rst time,
clean the cooking top and the mini pans with
a damp cloth.
We recommend you to heat up the appliance
for about 10 minutes, without any food stuffs,
to eliminate the "new" smell which may be
emitted when it is fi rst switched on. A small
amount of smoke may also be noticeable,
therefore ventilate the room during this
operation. Before the food to be grilled is
placed onto the cooking top, the cooking
10
top should be lightly greased with a small
amount of oil specifi cally intended for
frying, which may be safely heated to high
temperatures.
Variable thermostat
If you turn the thermostat knob to the highest
setting, the heating element will permanently
be switched on. If you turn the thermostat knob
to a lower setting, the heating element will
switch off from time to time and then switch
on again.
The indicator light remains lit as long as the
heating element is switched on.
After use, turn the thermostat knob to its lowest
setting and unplug the appliance from the
mains supply.
Operation
∙ Place the cooking top onto the appliance.
∙ Connect the raclette grill to the mains
supply socket and preheat for about 10
minutes before use.
∙ If required, place the food to be grilled
onto the cooking top.
∙ Put the raclette cheese into the mini pans.
Place the mini pans into the appliance,
underneath the heating element, and
leave them until the cheese has melted.
Warning: Do not place empty mini pans
into the appliance while it is switched on.
∙ When grilling is fi nished, unplug the
appliance from the mains supply socket.
How to prepare raclette cheese
Use about 200 to 300 grammes of cheese
per person. Cut the cheese into slices of
about 3 to 5 mm thickness and put them
into the mini pans. It is preferable to use
the original raclette cheese. Any other fast
melting cheese, however, will also do. Due
