Tips for preparing food
The Ceran ceramic grilling plate is intended for grilling food products with a small amount
of fat or none at all. It is a healthy way to prepare meat, fish and vegetables. It also
saves time and energy, and eliminates the need to wash cookware.
CAUTION!
Do not place pots or pans on the grilling surface, as they may shatter the glass.

- 30 -
The practical 3-sided splatter shield around the Ceran plate prevents splattering of
grease or juices from food products.
The useable grilling surface is marked by the white line. Heat is evenly distributed
over this area.
Before placing food products on the grilling surface, coat it with a small amount of
cooking oil. Use oil with a high level of heat resistance, such as rapeseed or
sunflower seed oil.
Fatty meats require smaller amounts of oil; for fish and vegetables, more oil can be
placed on the grilling surface. By adding oil, you can prevent food from sticking to the
grilling surface or from scorching.
After grilling, remove the remains of
food products using the ceran
scraper to lead it to the drippings tray
at the front of the device.
Regularly remove and empty the
drippings tray. Wash it as needed,
and replace it in the device.
CAUTION!
Never use the device without the drippings tray.
To avoid the taste and aroma of one food product transferring to another, remove any
remains from the grilling surface before grilling the next food products.
Grill in the following order: meat or fish, then vegetables.
To braise food products or to retain their natural juices and aroma, use aluminium foil.
When grilling, avoid the use of sugars or liquids containing sugar. If sugar is
necessary, wrap the food product in aluminium foil.
NOTE!
If sugar, syrup or other substances get onto the grilling surface, remove them
carefully using the Ceran ceramic plate scraper before the grilling surface cools:
food remains (especially sugar and syrup) are difficult to remove when cool.

- 31 -
You may use grilling utensils for preparing food products (tongs, spoons, etc.), but
they cannot be made of artificial materials. Never place plastic containers onto a
hot grilling surface.
Never use a knife to cut food products when placed on the grilling surface, as this
may lead to scratches.
After reducing the temperature, the Ceran ceramic grilling plate may be used to keep
food products warm.
When the device is to remain unused, set the temperature dial to "0" and remove
the plug from its socket.

supply (unplug!) and leave to cool off.
