INTRODUCTION

To get the best out of your new appliance, please read this user guide carefully before using it for the first time. Take particular note of the safety precautions. We also recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the functions of your appliance.

SAFETY MEASURES

Normal use of the appliance

•Incorrect use of this appliance may cause personal injury and damage to the appliance.

•Use for its intended purpose only. The manufacturer is not responsible for any injury or damage resulting from incorrect use or handling (see also Guarantee Terms).

•For connection to 230 V, 50 Hz only.

•For domestic use only. Not for outdoor or commercial use.

•Remove the plug from the socket once you have finished using the appliance.

•Please note that the appliance will remain hot for a while after you switch it off. Always allow it to cool completely before you put it away or clean it.

•Do not submerge in water or any other liquid.

•Never touch the appliance if your hands are wet or damp.

•Keep the appliance under constant supervision while in use. Keep an eye on children.

•Do not use metal implements or other forms of hard materials which could damage the non-stick coating of the hotplate or raclette pans. Use the accompanying spatulas only.

•Avoid touching the appliance and its accessories during and immediately after use. They can be very hot. Touch the handle and lid only.

•Exercise care when moving the appliance or turning the hotplate. Splashes of hot oil can cause burns.

Positioning the appliance

•Always place the appliance on a level, dry, stable and heat-resistant surface.

•Always place the appliance in the middle of a table and at a safe distance from flammable objects such as curtains, tablecloths or similar.

•The appliance must not be placed or stored near other sources of heat.

•Do not cover.

Cord, plug and mains socket

•Check regularly that neither the cord nor plug is damaged and do not use if there is any damage, or if it has been dropped on the floor, dropped in water or damaged in any other way.

•If the appliance or plug is damaged, it must be inspected and if necessary, repaired by an authorised repair engineer, otherwise there is a risk of electric shock. Never try to repair the appliance yourself. Please contact the store where you bought the appliance for repairs under guarantee.

•Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning, or when the device is not in use. Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead, hold the plug.

•Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table/counter, and keep it away from hot objects and naked flames.

•Check that it is not possible to pull or trip over the cord or any extension cord.

•Do not wind the cord around the appliance.

PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Before using for the first time (or after a long period of storage), clean the appliance thoroughly and allow to stand switched on for approx. 10 minutes before use (see Cleaning below.)

USING THE APPLIANCE

1.Place the appliance where it is to be used.

2.Turn the hotplate (3) the appropriate way up.

•The smooth side is ideal for placing the raclette pans on and it ensures good heat conductivity to the flat-bottomed pans.

•The corrugated side is ideal for frying steaks, chops, pork schnitzels and the like.

•Both sides have a high edge all the way round to prevent oil and fat running down into the appliance

or onto the table.

3.Plug the base in (6) and check that it is switched on at the wall.
