Before Cooking
1. Place heating base on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from a
ny edge.
2. Position grill top or stone securely in place on heating base.
3. With the heat control set at the OFF position, plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric
outlet only.
4. Push power button to turn on grill. Power light will come on. Set temperature
dial to desired setting. If using the grill top, preheat raclette for approximately 5
minutes. If using stone, preheat will take longer (between 20 and 30 minutes) to
reach maximum temperature.
NOTE:
A small amount of smoke and/or odor may
occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
Cleaning Your
Raclette
1. After using, allow to cool completely before cleaning. Stone will take longer
to
cool down.
NOTE:
Never pour cold water on hot stone or damage to stone could
occur.
2. Remove grill top or stone from heating base.
3. Grill top, stone, spatulas and raclette dishes can be washed in hot soapy water
using a soft cloth. Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh scouring powders.
Rinse thoroughly and dry. You may also clean these items in a dishwasher. Posi-
tion pieces in dishwasher so they do not touch one another or other objects being
washed.
4. Heating base can be cleaned by wiping with a damp soapy cloth.
NOTE:
Do not
place heating base in dishwasher or submerge in water.
