BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packaging.
2. Wash the Grill Plate, Raclette Pans and Spatulas in warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry.
3. Wipe the Lower Plate/Base of the unit with a damp cloth. Dry.
NOTE: DO NOT WIPE ELEMENT. DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER
OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
4. Place the Lower Plate/Base on a flat level heat resistant surface close
to a 120 volt A.C. wall outlet. IMPORTANT: The Grill must be at least
6” (15cm) away from walls, curtains, etc. and in a well ventilated area.
5. Season the non-stick Grill Plate and Raclette Pans (inside only) by wiping
them with a paper towel moistened in 1 tbsp. (15 ml) of good quality
vegetable oil. Let the oil remain on the surface.
6. Place the Grill Plate on top of the Grill Plate Supports. Place the Raclette
Pans under the element on the Lower Plate.
7. Turn the Temperature Control Switch to the MAX position and heat for
approximately 10 minutes. This will burn off any manufacturing oils still
on the Grill. NOTE: The Grill may smoke during this process. This is
normal and will not last more than a few minutes.
8. Turn off the Grill by turning the Temperature Control Dial to ‘•’ and
unplugging the Power Cord from the wall outlet or follow the directions
in the HOW TO USE section.

5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the MAX position and preheat

is cooked and served. NOTE: Be sure to place the hot raclette pans
on a heat-resistant surface when removed from the Grill.
7. Use smooth-edge utensils, preferably wooden or plastic. The spatulas,
included with the Grill, are specially designed to remove food from pans
easily and without sticking. NOTE: Do not cut food on the Reversible
Plate or in the Raclette Pans as this may damage the coating.
8. When cooking is complete, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the ‘•’
position and remove plug from wall outlet.
9. Do not move the unit until it is completely cool. Remove the Raclette
Pans before moving to prevent them from falling from the Lower Plate.
