3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Stop preheating the appliance once it reaches the re-
quired temperature.
¡An extended preheating time increases the energy
consumption.
Use the edge of the frying surface to keep food that is
already cooked warm, whilst continuing to cook food
in the middle.
¡This enables you to use the heat distribution of the
frying surface efficiently.
Switch back to a lower temperature early on.
¡Using a temperature that is too high wastes energy.
Select an appropriate temperature.
¡Using a temperature that is too high wastes energy.
Use the residual heat of the Teppan Yaki. If the cook-
ing time is relatively long, you can switch the appli-
ance off 5 to 10minutes before the cooking time
ends.
¡Failing to make the most of any residual heat leads
to increased energy consumption.
Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be
found on the attached appliance pass and online on
the product page for your appliance.

7 How it works
You can find the right settings for different food here as
well as helpful comments. We have perfectly tailored
these recommendations to your appliance.
7.1 Tips for boiling and frying
¡Do not place the food on the appliance until the
heating display has gone out. When increasing the
temperature between two preparations, do not place
the food until the heating display has gone out.
¡Use the spatula to press the meat, poultry and fish
pieces flat on the frying surface. In order not to des-
troy fibres, do not turn the food until it is easily de-
tached from the plate. Otherwise, liquid may leak
out, causing the food to dry out.
¡When roasting, ensure that the pieces of meat,
poultry and fish do not touch each other. Otherwise,
the food may draw out liquid.
¡Do not pierce or cut the meat while cooking it, oth-
erwise meat juice may escape.
¡To prevent water and soluble nutrients from escap-
ing, do not add salt to meat, poultry or fish until it
has been fried.
¡Before frying, you can roll fish fillets in flour so that
the fish fillet sticks less firmly.
¡Fry fish fillets on the skin side first. If possible, only
turn the fish fillet once.
¡Only use oils and fats that can be heated to a high
temperature and are suitable for frying, e.g. refined
plant oils or clarified butter.
¡The frying surface is hotter in the centre than in the
edge area. If you are cooking food with different
cooking times and temperature requirements at the
same time, you can arrange the food optimally on
the plate.
Also take note of the different temperatures for the
frying surface when selecting the quantity of food.
The thinner the food, the higher the temperature and
the shorter the cooking time.
¡When working with only one heating zone, select the
highest setting in each case for the temperature
range specified in the cooking table. Alternatively,
you can set 10°C more than you are used to from
preparing using both heating zones. Use approx.
half of the specified quantity.

7.3 Using the with Teppan Yaki with
cookware
You can also use the Teppan Yaki to cook with cook-
ware.
¡Cooking methods that require little heat supply are
suitable for using the cookware with Teppan Yaki.
You can heat food quickly on the hob first, if re-
quired, before continuing cooking on the Teppan
Yaki.
¡For melting, defrosting and keeping warm, approx.
140°C sufficient.
160–200°C is sufficient for soaking rice and cer-
eals, and for heating small quantities of food.
