USING THE RACLETTE SET
During first use of the appliance, smoke and/or a slight odour may occur from theappliance. This is
normal and will quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.
1- Place appliance on a flat, level, dry and heat resistant surface.
2- Position the cooking plate onto the base so that it sits flat on the unit side supports. Ensurethe
protective silicone guards are securely installed on the four corners of the unit side
supports to prevent the plate from scratching.
3- Using a paper towel, lightly coat the entire cooking surface of the non-stick plate and the interior
of the raclette pans with cooking oil. Repeat as necessary for a longer lasting non-stick surface.
4- Set temperature control to OFF position, then plug the power cord into a 120V AC wall outlet.
The blue ring will light up, indicating the appliance is on.
5- Turn the knob clockwise to maximum. The plate will begin to heat. It is recommended to
preheat the plate for approximately 5 minutes. Never heat an empty plate. Always ensure there
is oil, butter or food before turning on the appliance.
6- Use the non-stick plate to grill small strips of meat, chicken, sausages, shrimps and vegetables.
Turn food from time to time for even cooking.
7- Place food (cheese and/or vegetables) in the raclette pans. Position them onto the top shelf
(under the heating element) and broil to taste, verifying from time to time. The handles should
always be facing out away from the heating element. When not in use, place hot raclette pans
onto the bottom cooling shelf. Do not leave empty raclette pans onto the top shelf.

before handling or cleaning. Before moving the appliance, remove the raclette pans to prevent

:::For better non-stick performance, it is recommended to add a teaspoon of cooking oil onto
the plate prior each use.

inside the raclette pans to avoid damage to the non-stick surfaces. Use the provided nylon
scraper tongs, wooden or silicone tools.
