en Causes of damage
Causes of damage
Causesofdamage The frying surface is robust and smooth but, like a good
pan, it will exhibit signs of use over time. These do not
affect how it works.
Caution!
–Scratches or scores on the grilling surface:
Never use a knife to cut on the grilling surface. Turn
food using the spatula provided. Do not hit the
grilling surface with the spatula.
–Plastics, films and foils: Aluminium foil and
plastic cookware will melt on the hot frying surface.
Never place containers made of aluminium foil on
the frying surface. Never place objects made of
plastic or cookware with plastic handles on the
frying surface.
Environmental protection
Environmentalprotecti on In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Tips on energy saving
▯Stop the heating appliance when it reaches the
required temperature.
▯Use the edge of the frying surface to keep food that
is already cooked warm, whilst continuing to cook
food in the middle.
▯Switch back to a lower temperature in good time.
▯Select an appropriate temperature. Using a
temperature that is too high wastes energy.
▯Use the residual heat of the Teppan Yaki. If the
cooking time is long, switch off the appliance 5-10
minutes before the cooking time ends.
Environmentally-friendly disposal

roasting. Preparing the food is an experience, the food
is prepared – without pots or pans – directly on the
frying surface. Use the included spatulas to turn the
food and to remove food residues.

thoroughly with lukewarm soapy water.
Heating up the teppanyaki surface
To eliminate the new-appliance smell, heat up the
teppanyaki surface without anything on it for a few
minutes at 200 °C.

Tips for cooking and roasting
▯When the heating up light goes off, place the food
on the appliance. This also applies when raising the
temperature to fry a second item which requires a
higher setting.
▯Press the pieces of meat, poultry or fish flat onto
the frying surface using the spatula. Only turn the
meat, when it comes away from the surface easily,
in order to protect the structure of the meat.
Damaging the structure can cause juices to escape
and results in the meat drying out.
▯Keep the pieces of meat, poultry or fish apart so
that they do not draw any liquid.
▯Avoid pricking or cutting meat before or during
frying, in order to retain meat juices.
▯Do not salt the food before frying, to prevent liquid
and soluble nutrients from escaping.
▯Turn fish fillets in flour before frying. The fish will
be easier to turn.
▯Turn fish fillets only once if possible. Place fish
onto the appliance with the skin facing downward.
▯Use oil and fat that is suitable for frying, for
example plant oil or concentrated butter.
Using the with Teppan Yaki with
cookware
You can also use the Teppan Yaki to cook with
cookware. Cooking methods that require little heat input
can be used to do this. You can heat food quickly on the
hob first, if required, before continuing cooking on the
Teppan Yaki.
Approx. 140 °C is best for melting, defrosting, and
keeping food warm. 160-200 °C is best for soaking rice
and cereals, and for heating small quantities of food.
Use heat-resistant cookware with a lid. Take care not to
scratch the stainless steel frame accidentally when
placing the cookware on the heating surface. Please
note that if the cookware is smaller than the surface
being heated, this is not an energy-efficient cooking
method.
