Use
Krampouz machined cast iron plates need to be seasoned before first use.
Seasoning of the cooking plates
Caution: this operation (duration: 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes) is required for new plates. Use edible
sunflower seed oil that contains no other ingredients.
Season using a seasoning pad fitted with 3 stacked refill sheets.
For a successful outcome:
• Connect the power cable.
• Switch the appliance on.
• Preheat the appliance to 250°C. The appliance has reached the selected temperature when the
orange light goes out. Maintain this setting throughout the seasoning procedure.
• For the first four layers: pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the plate. Spread uniformly using
the pad. Leave to dry until there is no more smoke: 5 to 10 minutes.
• From the 5th layer to the 9th layer: pour ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the plate. Spread
uniformly using the pad. Leave to dry until there is no more smoke: 5 to 10 minutes.
• Final layer: move the pad over the plate with no fat added.
• Final result: basing which looks like varnish, light chestnut in colour.
For the first run, between each crêpe, grease the newly based plate well.
Greasing and wiping the plate
When making crêpes, the pad is recommended for greasing and wiping residue on the plate.
