BEFORE FIRST USE

1.Remove all packaging.

2.Wash the Grill Plate, Raclette Pans and Spatulas in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.

3.Wipe the Lower Plate/Base of the unit with a damp cloth. Dry.

NOTE: DO NOT WIPE ELEMENT. DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

4.Place the Lower Plate/Base on a flat level heat resistant surface close to a 120 volt A.C. wall outlet. IMPORTANT: The Grill must be at least 6” (15cm) away from walls, curtains, etc. and in a well ventilated area.

5.Season the non-stick Grill Plate and Raclette Pans (inside only) by wiping them with a paper towel moistened in 1 tbsp. (15 ml) of good quality vegetable oil. Let the oil remain on the surface.

6.Place the Grill Plate on top of the Grill Plate Supports. Place the Raclette Pans under the element on the Lower Plate.

7.Turn the Temperature Control Switch to the MAX position and heat for approximately 10 minutes. This will burn off any manufacturing oils still on the Grill. NOTE: The Grill may smoke during this process. This is normal and will not last more than a few minutes.

8.Turn off the Grill by turning the Temperature Control Dial to ‘•’ and unplugging the Power Cord from the wall outlet or follow the directions in the HOW TO USE section.

HOW TO USE

2.Position the Reversible Grill Plate over the Element on the Grill Supports. Use the smooth side for warming, preparing fondue or breakfast foods, etc. Use the ridged side for grilling meats, fish or vegetables.

3.Place Raclette Pans under the element so they rest on the Lower Plate.
