Cooking

After pre-heating, the appliance is ready to be used :

•For the raclette function, have each guest place a slice of cheese in an individual tray before placing it

under the grill plate to melt.

Depending on model, tray storage facility enables you to place the empty trays under the appliance during the meal.

Do not leave the trays in the appliance while empty.

•The grill plate will cook small strips of meat or your

accompaniments (bacon, mushrooms, onions, shrimps, small sausages…).

Depending on model, you can also make pancakes.

To avoid damaging the non-stick coating of the grill plate, always use plastic or wooden utensils.

During first use, the appliance may give off a slight odour and smoke.

Do not touch the hot surfaces of the appliance.

• For the Pierrade® function: each guest places strips of meat, fish, fruit or vegetables onto the stone and cooks them according to taste.

Do not place deep-frozen, frozen or excessively heavy food on the hot stone.

Do not place acidic foods such as vinegary products, mustard, gherkins, pickles, etc., in contact with the stone.

Never place any non-food objects on the stone.

Do not let the appliance operate without any food for more than 30 minutes: the stone will become too hot for optimal cooking results.

The little cracks caused by the expansion of the stone are natural and do not affect the proper functioning of the appliance.

They therefore do not represent a cause for concern.

After using several times, the stone normally becomes darker.
