OPERATION

• It is recommended protective gloves to be worn to handle components which may be very hot.
• Preheating: Before grilling, preheat the appliance for about 2 minutes in full flame.
• A bluish discoloration of the cooking plate is due to the strong heat development. This is without any impact on the quality of the used material.
• Note: In case the burner extinguishes whilst grilling, close the gas valve immediately and wait 5 minutes to let the gas be evaporated. Re-ignite the appliance after this waiting time.

COOKING

IMPORTANT: Make sure water reservoir is filled with water as instructed in section E-1. Never leave the cooking plate on fire without foodstuffs longer than one minute (except for the initial pre-heating period) otherwise the special coating will be damaged.

• The griddle has two cooking surfaces: one corrugated side for the searing of meats and one smooth side for fish, shellfish, vegetables, etc…
• The griddle is covered with a high quality non-sticking material which ensures healthy cuisine without adding fat or oil.
• The grid doesn’t have the non-sticking coating. In order to reduce food from sticking to the grid, brush the grid lightly with cooking oil prior to use.
• When using the grid, fatty substances are collected in the water reservoir, your meal is perfectly healthy (no residual or carbonized fats), your ingredients retain all their savor.
• It is also possible to adjust the speed of cooking according to where the ingredients are placed on the cooking plate: maximum in the center, less intense towards the edge.
• Cooking can be done with the lid closed when using the appliance as an grilling oven.

STORAGE – SERVICING

If you take care of your appliance properly, you will be able to enjoy using it for many years.

• Do not clean your appliance when it is being used. Wait until it has cooled down to avoid burns caused by hot parts (griddle, grid, pan support, reservoir etc.).
• Once the unit is cold (approximately 15 minutes) remove the cooking plate and pan support. Unlock the reservoir from base by turning it counter-clockwise and lift. Empty the water. Unscrew legs from base.
• Clean greasy parts with soap and water or a non-abrasive detergent product.
• To simplify cleaning, the lid (wok), the cooking plates, reservoir, pan support, can be washed in a dishwasher. The legs can be cleaned with a sponge (no washing powder).
• When cleaning, be careful to avoid clogging the burner holes. If the holes are clogged, for example by food that has spilled over, open them with a non-metal brush.
• After cleaning, assemble the pieces of the unit, put the lid back on and lock by reversing steps A, B, C in Fig. 4.
• Legs (6) could be placed in the reservoir for compact transportation size (Fig. 1 / 2). Make sure to rotate the grid (3) to a position that the u-shape spacer doesn’t rest on the pan support feet (Fig. 10-iii), otherwise the lid couldn’t be closed.
• The unit should be stored in a safe, secure, and dry place, out of the reach of children and never in a cellar.
• If the device has not been used for 30 days, check to see that cobwebs are not clogging the burner hose openings; this could lead to decreased burner efficiency or to a dangerous ignition of gas outside the burner.
• If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time, disconnect the cylinder as indicated in section § F.
• Regularly check the condition of the hose and change it if it shows signs of ageing or cracking (see section § C-2).
• In the case of the injector becoming clogged (the cylinder still contains gas but the appliance will not light), do not try to unclog it yourself. Return the appliance to your retailer.
