Important safety instructions
●Before the appliance is used, the main
body including the power cord as well as

How to use your raclette grill
Before first use
- Remove any packing materials
completely.
- Before using your raclette grill for the
first time, clean the cooking plate and the
mini-pans with a damp cloth.
- We recommend that you heat up the
appliance for about 10 minutes, without
any food on the plate or in the pans, to
eliminate the ‘new’ smell which may be
emitted when it is first switched on. A
small amount of smoke may also be
noticeable, so ventilate the room during
this procedure.
- Before the food to be grilled is placed
onto the cooking plate, the plate should
be lightly greased with a small amount of
oil specifically intended for frying, which
may be safely heated to high
temperatures.
Temperature control
- The variable thermostat controls the
operating time of the heating element,
with the indicator light showing its
current operating state.
Indicator light on = heating element on
Indicator light off = heating element off
- After use, return the thermostat to its
lowest setting (•) and unplug the
appliance from the mains supply.
- For melting cheese and for grilling, the
maximum setting (6) should be used.
Simply to keep food warm, the
thermostat should be adjusted to a lower
setting.
Operation
- Insert the plug into a suitable outlet and
turn the thermostat control to its
maximum setting (6). Let the appliance
preheat for about 10 minutes to reach the
temperature necessary for melting cheese
and for grilling.
- If required, place the food to be grilled
onto the cooking plate.
-
Put the raclette cheese into the mini-
pans, then put them into the appliance,
underneath the heating element, and
leave them until the cheese has melted.
Note: Do not place empty mini-pans in
the appliance while it is switched on.
- To prevent damage to the non-stick
coating of the cooking plate and mini-
pans, do not use any sharp or pointed
objects when handling the food.
- Once grilling is finished, turn the
thermostat control to its minimum setting
(•) and disconnect the appliance from
the mains supply socket.
How to prepare raclette cheese
Use about 200 to 300 grammes of cheese per
person. Cut the cheese into slices of about 3
to 5 mm thickness and put them into the
mini-pans. It is preferable to use original
raclette cheese. Any other fast-melting
cheese, however, is also suitable. Because of
the heat above, the cheese will melt quite
quickly.
Practical hints
- Frozen food should always be properly
thawed before it is cooked.
- To avoid damage to the coating of grill
plate and mini-pans, use only non-
abrasive utensils.
- When grilling larger amounts of food, the
accumulated fat residues should be
carefully removed from time to time.

removed from the wall socket and allow
the appliance to cool down.

clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.

solutions.

coating of the cooking plate and mini-
pans, do not use any sharp or pointed
objects for cleaning.
