How to use your grill
Before fi rst use
Remove any packing materials completely.
Before using the grill for the fi rst time, clean the
grill stone and mini-pans with a damp cloth.
We recommend that you heat up the
appliance and the pans for about 10 minutes,
without any food, to eliminate the smell
typically encountered when fi rst switching on
a grill. A small amount of smoke may also
be noticeable, so the room may have to be
ventilated during this period.
Grill stone
∙ Fit the stone on to the appliance over the
heating element, with the polished side
up. Caution: avoid placing a cold stone
onto a hot element.
∙ The stone can be used for cooking
vegetables, sliced meat or fi sh etc. as
required.
∙ This stone is entirely natural material.
Small cracks resulting from natural
expansion and contraction during heating
and cooling, as well as a change to a
darker colour are normal and have no
detrimental effects.
∙ Do not place any frozen food or items
containing vinegar (such as pickled
gherkins or mustard) on the stone.
Variable thermostat
∙ The variable thermostat controls the
operating time of the heating element,
with the yellow indicator light showing its
current operating status.

∙ When melting cheese or grilling, the
maximum setting should be used
(thermostat control all the way to the
right). Simply to keep food warm, the
thermostat should be adjusted to a lower
setting (thermostat control further to the
left).
∙ After use, return the thermostat all the way
to the left and disconnect the appliance
from the mains supply.
Operation
∙ Place the grill stone on the unit, ensuring
that the locating groove on the underside
of the grill stone is properly secured by
the corresponding lugs on the holding
bracket.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket
and push the thermostat all the way to the
right.
∙ After a pre-heating time of about 10
minutes, the appliance is ready for
use. However, the use of the grill stone
requires a pre-heating time of around 40
minutes.
∙ Place the food to be cooked on the grill
stone. We recommend fi rst sprinkling a
little salt on the stone to prevent sticking.
∙ Put the raclette cheese into the mini-pans.
Place the mini-pans in the appliance,
under the heating element, and leave
them until the cheese has melted.
Warning: Do not place empty mini-pans
in the appliance while it is switched
on, but leave them on a heat-resistant
surface.
∙ When grilling is fi nished, push the
thermostat all the way to the left and
