Introduction
Wholesome and nourishing food is important for a healthy lifestyle.
Teppan yaki is an excellent method of preparing healthy food, the
Japanese way. Ingredients are first cut into small pieces and then
stir-fried in very little oil. This way, everything remains fresh, tasty and
full of vitamins. And this is what modern cooking is all about. With your
teppan yaki you will find that wholesome and tasty combine very well.
With the teppan yaki you will be able to quickly prepare light and tasty
meals. Crisp and low in fat as is customary in Japanese cuisine. But of
course this does not mean that you can only use the teppan yaki for
Japanese food. Whether it is just a quick meal for yourself or a dinner
party for your friends and family, the teppan yaki guarantees a fast and
unrivalled culinary adventure.
Read the manual thorougly before using the appliance, and store
these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians.
Please, therefore, stick the appliance identification card in
the space provided, at the back of the manual. The appliance
identification card contains all the information that the service
technician will need in order to respond appropriately to your needs

What you should pay attention to
• The teppan yaki has been fitted with a maximum temperature
limitation. This ensures that the grill plate cannot become too hot.
Yet, as with any appliance, there are a number of matters that you
should pay attention to.
During use
• This teppan yaki has been designed for household use. Only use it
for cooking food.
• When you first heat up the teppan yaki, you may experience a smell
of newness. This is normal. Ventilation will make the smell go away.
• Do not place any plastic objects or objects with a plastic grip on
the grill plate.
• Do not use the grill plate as a carving board. This could damage
your knives and the grill plate.
• Never hit the grill plate with a spatula or the tip of a knife. It could
scratch and damage the plate.
• Do not leave your teppan yaki after switching on a zone.
• Make sure that your kitchen is adequately ventilated during use.
Keep natural ventilation openings open.
• Maintain a distance of several centimetres between the bottom of
the teppan yaki and the contents of a possible drawer.
• The teppan yaki heats up during use and will remain so for a while
after switching off. Keep young children and pets away from the
teppan yaki during and directly after use.
• Fat and oil are combustible when overheated. Never try to
extinguish burning oil with water. Instead, cover the teppan yaki
immediately with a wet cloth and switch the appliance off.
• Never flambé underneath the extractor hood. The high flames may
cause a fire, even with the extractor hood switched off.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or a steam cleaner to clean the
teppan yaki. This could cause a short circuit.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Never let children play with this device. Children are not to be
allowed near the device unsupervised.
SAFETY

USE
Before you start
You operate the teppan yaki with two control knobs. With these you
can set the temperature for the zones. Each knob has a ring that lights
up in one of two colours. Red means that the zone is warming up.
Green indicates that the zone has reached the temperature set.
Pre-heat the teppan yaki until the desired temperature has been
reached. Put a little vegetable oil on the grill plate before you start frying
the first dish. There is no need to add extra oil. The centre of the grill
plate is hotter than the sides. This makes the side areas perfect for slow
cooking or for keeping food warm.
Teppan yaki
The grill plate is perfect for quickly stir-frying vegetables, searing and
braising pieces of meat or fish in a sauce or for a combination of these
two dishes.
The combination of two zones with temperatures that can be set
independently, is typical for teppan yaki cooking. You can sear or stir-
fry the ingredients in the hot zone and then push them onto the warm
zone. On the warm zone the dishes may braise slowly with or without
the addition of seasoning or sauces.
Operation
The teppan yaki contains two thermostatically controlled heating
elements that can be set independently of each other. The grill plate
consists of two zones: a front zone and a rear one. You set the
temperatures for each zone with the two control knobs. The maximum
temperature you can set is 250 °C.

Press the knob of the desired zone as far as it will go. Then turn it
clockwise to set the right temperature. The light ring turns red to
indicate that the zone is warming up. When the zone has reached the
temperature set, the ring turns green: the appliance is ready for use.
Switching off
Always turn the knob anticlockwise to return to the zero setting. You
cannot reach the zero setting by turning the knob clockwise. After the
knob has sprung forward again, the safety lock is activated.
Residual heat
Please remember that it takes some time for the teppan yaki to cool
down after switching off.

Dripping pan
The purpose of the dripping pan is the disposal of fried residue, fluid
and excess oil or fat. Larger pieces of residue may be shoved into the
dripping pan during cooking.
The dripping pan is removable so that you can dispose of the residue
in the dustbin after you have finished cooking. The dripping pan is
dishwasher-friendly.
You may use the ornamental lid to cover the dripping pan during and
after cooking when the teppan yaki is cooling down.
Never scrape off your spatulas on the ornamental lid. This could
scratch the lid.
USE
9

Daily cleaning
It is advisable to clean the teppan yaki immediately after use. This way
you avoid residue burning into the plate and thus causing stains that
may be difficult to remove.
Daily cleaning is best done with lemon juice and water. Pour this liquid
onto the frying area when it is still quite hot (100 °C). The liquid soaks
off the residue so that you can dispose of it in the dripping pan. Keep
the teppan yaki switched on at a lower temperature for a short time.
After the grill plate has cooled down use some kitchen paper to wipe
away the residue and the water. You may then dry the teppan yaki with
kitchen paper or a dry towel.
Stubborn stains
Stubborn marks on a stainless steel grill plate are best removed with a
solution of warm water and washing-up liquid. You can use a cleaning
agent for stainless steel to clean the frame. Always polish in the
direction of the steel structure to avoid shine spots. Never use anything
sharp like steel wool or scourers. These scourers cause scratches in
the brush structure. Scouring and polishing will cause shine spots on
the frying area (this kind of damage is not covered by the warranty).
If the above methods do not help to remove the stains, you can clean
the grill plate with a non-scratch scouring pad. Remember to treat the
entire area in order to avoid discolouring. Also, as a follow-up treat the
grill plate with a polish or maintenance agent for stainless steel. Please
note that over the years the surface will slightly discolour.
Never use aggressive abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and
lime can accumulate. But if you should use an abrasive anyway, please
polish in the direction of the finish.
MAINTENANCE
10

General
In case of an electrical failure, please check all fuses and electrical
connections in your home before you contact the service department.
Temperature limitation
When the teppan yaki has been switched on, a sensor continuously
monitors the temperature of the parts of the grill plate. If the
temperature gets too high, the power of the grill plate is automatically
reduced.

appliance, by switching off the fuse(s) or, if you have a permanent
connection, by setting the switch on the power supply lead to zero.
• Do not use a teppan yaki that is broken or contains cracks. Switch
off the appliance immediately, unplug it from the power supply to
avoid any electrical shocks and call the service department.
• The connection must comply with all national and local regulations.
• The appliance must always be earthed.
• The connection cable should hang unobstructed and not run the
risk of being hit by a drawer.
• Ensure that the teppan yaki is built into a flat worktop.
• The walls and the worktop surrounding the appliance should be
heat-resistant to at least 85 °C.
• The warranty does not cover any damage resulting from a wrong
connection, faulty assembly or improper use.
• The cables connecting the teppan yaki to the control box should
not be bent, twisted or pressed down by an object. Ensure that this
does not happen when unpacking and installing the teppan yaki.
• To avoid touching the hot underside of the device, a board has to
be placed underneath the appliance.
Installation situations
INSTALLATION
Dependent on the installation situation, there are several instructions
for installing the teppan yaki into a worktop. Which instructions to use
depends on the position of the control knobs (“front” or “top”) and the
worktop material selected (“wood” or “stone”). Also special sawing
measurements apply when integrating a teppan yaki with the other
appliances.
• If the connecting cable is damaged, it may only be replaced
by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s service organisation
or equivalently qualified persons, in order to avoid dangerous
situations.
