OPERATION

 Before using your appliance for the first time take away the packaging materials and
clean the pans thoroughly with a damp cloth.
 Hold the stone under running water (you can use a sponge to improve the cleaning).
Never use abrasive or cleaning products. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
 Place the polished side of the stone to the top. Make sure the stone is correctly placed on
the base.
 Oil the polished surface of the stone with a kitchen paper or with a small brush coated
with heating-resistant table oil (olive or groundnut oil). Let oil penetrate the stone and then
take away the superfluous oil.
 When it is first switched on, the heating element may smell and emit some smoke. This is
normal; the grease that may have adhered to the element during manufacture is burning
off. We therefore recommend that you heat up the appliance for about 10 minutes
without any food (ventilate the room during this period). This phenomenon will no more
occur in the future.
 Always pre-heat the stone during more or less 25 minutes before using the appliance.
 In order to prevent grease stains on your table cloth, don't forget to put another, easy-
washing cloth under your appliance.
 To switch on your appliance, after having read and observed all important safeguards,
put the plug in an earthed power outlet and press the ON/OFF switch. The switch will light
up, indicating that the appliance is in operation.
 If you use an extension cord, make sure that it is compatible with your appliance (check
its rating plate).
Hint: When your appliance is warming up and the raclette pans are clean, you can put them
on the appliance to warm them up but never leave raclette pans that have already been
used in the appliance, as the food residues might burn.

IMPORTANT REMARKS

 The stone is a natural product. Small fissures can appear during the use. It is a normal
phenomenon not covered by the guarantee.
 If the stone has been kept in a damp environment, heat it up slowly (2 to 3 hours) in a
oven at 100°C or let it two days at ambient temperature.
 Avoid shocks when you move the stone. Also avoid the thermal shocks.
 Never place too large, too cold or frozen food on a hot stone.
 Never sprinkle a hot stone with cold water, it could crack.
 To avoid burns or fissures on the stone, never move a still hot stone.
 Only place food on a stone. Never place heavy objects on it.
 If you use soused meat, you have to know that the spices will penetrate the stone. This will
decolourise it and then give a taste to the grilled meat.
STONE GRILL
 Put the raclette-grill in the middle of the table.
 Before grilling, sprinkle the stone with salt.
 Use only wooden or plastic utensils in order not to damage the coating.
 When heating (above all in the presence of oil), the stone can give off a smell and a light
smoke. This phenomenon disappears after a couple of minutes. The stone can also lose its
colour and become darker. This decolouration does not have any influence on the
functioning of the appliance.
 Wait until the stone is hot before placing foodstuffs on it. Control their grilling and turn them
regularly with a wooden spatula. Do not pick the meat, it could lose its juice and its taste.
