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.
This manual describes how to make optimum use of your teppan yaki.
In addition to information on operation, you will also find background
information that may be useful

Important matters
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.
• 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 it on.
• Make sure that your kitchen is adequately ventilated during use.
Keep natural ventilation openings open.
• The bottom side of the teppan yaki becomes hot. Make sure to
leave a gap of at least 5 cm between the bottom side of the teppan
yaki and the underlying surface of the kitchen unit. Therefore, do
not put anything combustible in a drawer that has been fitted directly
underneath the teppan yaki.
• 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.

USE
Preparation
You operate the teppan yaki with a thermostat knob. With this knob
you can set the temperature. The table below shows you the correct
temperatures for each dish.
Temperature setting Food Grill time Notes
90 °C Keeping warm
170 °C New salmon, trout,
sole, scampi’s
8 - 10 minutes 4 - 5 minutes each
side
180 °C Pineapple slices, fruit
skewers
9 minutes Turn over every
3 minutes
180 °C Half tomatoes,
mushrooms, onion
slices
25 minutes Turn over every
3 - 4 minutes
180 °C Sausages 15 minutes Turn over every
2 minutes
180 °C Beef 10 minutes 4 - 5 minutes each
side
180 °C Shish kebabs 12 -15 minutes Turn over every
3 minutes
210 °C Old bread 6 minutes 3 minutes each side
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 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 teppan yaki can also be used as “large fire”, ideal for casseroles.
Use a pan with the same dimensions as the grill surface. Now let it
simmer between 90 °C and 130 °C in a covered pan.

GB 8
Operation
Turn the thermostat knob clockwise until you reach the desired
temperature. The on/off pilot light and the thermostat light will light up.
The grill plate will now be preheated. When the thermostat light does not
light up anymore, the teppan yaki has reached the correct temperature.
You can now prepare the dish.
Attention!
Make sure to switch off the teppan yaki when you have finished
preparing the dish. Always turn the knob anticlockwise to return to the
zero setting. You cannot reach the zero setting by turning the knob
clockwise.
Attention!
Please remember that it takes some time for the teppan yaki to cool
down after switching off. The residual heat indicator will go out as soon
as the teppan yaki has cooled down.
USE

GB 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 (± 65 °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, which can be ordered
online at www.hps.nl. 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

GB 10
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
