Safety prescription
▪
Check the mains voltage rating before switching on the oven and make sure that the rating corresponds to that
indicated on the oven's type label.
▪
Check the power cable before plugging it into the mains outlet. Never use a defective cable.
▪
The oven must only be handled by responsible adults perfectly aware of how to use it. Do not let children use the
appliance.
▪
Place the oven on a flat, stable surface away from any other object.
▪
Leave a minimum distance of 30 cm between the oven and the wall.
▪
Do not place the oven on a hot surface.
▪
Do not leave the oven unattended connected to the mains outlet.
▪
Never move the oven while it is connected to the mains outlet or if still hot.
▪
Never cover the oven with easily flammable materials.
▪
THE OVEN'S SURFACES BECOME HOT WHEN IN USE. NEVER TOUCH THE HEATING UNIT. GRASP THE
CHEESE HOLDER BY THE HANDLE ONLY.
▪
Let the oven cool off for at least 20 minutes after usage.
▪
Store the oven in a warm dry place.
Installing the cheese in its holder
▪
Put the cheese holder on the pivotable arm and move it down by loosen the knob (C). Tighter the knob when the
distance between the heating unit and the cheese holder is large enough to place the cheese.
▪
Pivot the arm with the cheese holder.
▪
Place the cheese on the holder.
▪
Make sure that the cheese is in horizontal position.
▪
Move the cheese under the resistance. Adjust the distance between the cheese and the heating unit. An optimum
distance is 1 to 3 cm. Note: a raclette cheese made from raw milk should melt slowly. For this, it is recommended to
increase the distance between the cheese and the heating unit
Starting the oven and preparing the raclette
Connect the power cable to the oven's plug-in (E) and then to the main's outlet. When the oven is used for the first
▪
time, the heating unit may release a little smoke for about 30 seconds. This is normal and not dangerous.
▪
When the upper surface of the cheese is melted (or grilled), grasp the cheese holder with the handle and swing it.
Scrape off the melted cheese with a TTM raclette knife with its smooth side.
▪
After 4 or 5 raclettes, cut off the cheese's remaining crusts with the TTM raclette knife's toothed side and serve them
with the raclette. These crusts are called religious pieces because they are so divinely good.
▪
The raclette must be eaten warm. It is the custom that the served person immediately savours the raclette without
waiting for the other guests to be served. The traditional raclette is served with unpeeled potatoes, pickles or other
vinegar conserved vegetables. As an accompaniment, a dry white wine or tea will increase the pleasure.
Note: if the raclette is interrupted by a break, it is recommended to shut off the oven to not consume power and prevent
the cheese from absorbing too much heat. If the oven is not switched off, make sure that the empty cheese holder is not
positioned under the heater.
Cleaning
After each raclette party, let the oven cool off completely. Never soak an oven element in water or wash it in the
dishwasher. It is sufficient to clean the cheese holder under running water or with a damp cloth. Then wipe it off. Never
use abrasive products. The raclette oven's bottom plate may be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Clean and take care of the metal housing of the heating unit by rubbing it with little vegetable oil from time to time.
