4.1

USING THE ELECTRIC GRIDDLE PLATE

Turn the thermostat control knob (Fig. 2) clockwise: this way you switch on the griddle plate as shown by the green indicator
light (Fig. 1 position 3) coming on. If you keep turning the knob, you will be able to set the desired temperature as shown
on the same knob. The yellow indicator light (Fig. 1 position 2) comes on to signal that the heating elements are on; when it
comes off, it means the temperature set by the knob has been reached. The yellow light comes on each time the desired plate
temperature has decreased of approx. 15°C, and will stay on until the plate reaches the desired temperature again.
To switch off, turn the knob anticlockwise so as to bring the "0" to position indicator.
The yellow and green lights will automatically go off.
4.2

USING THE CHROME PLATE

IGNITION: When the plate is just warm, grease it slightly with vegetable oil, then wait for the plate to reach the temperature
desired.
COOKING: Best cooking is achieved at a temperature of approx. 240÷250°C. Such a temperature allows a healthy cooking
without loss of food's main qualities: taste, flavour and looks.
USE: The chrome plate does not absorb fats, as it happens for the traditional iron or cast iron plates.
Note: Set the thermostat never on a temperature more then 250 °C.

- Clean the stainless steel parts daily with soapy lukewarm water, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.
- Absolutely avoid to clean the stainless steel with common steel-wool, or common steel brushes and scrapers, as they may
discard ferrous particles which, on depositing, cause rust spots. You may, if you like, use stainless steel-wool passed on
following the butter-finish direction.
- Should the unit remain unused for long periods, heavily rub all the steel surfaces with a cloth slightly wetted with vaseline
oil, in order to cover them with a protective film. Periodically ventilate the premises.
COOKING TOP
Frequently clean the plate by using a wet rag, then switch it on for a few minutes turning the knobs to top temperature in order
to dry it quickly. Finally, grease it with a thin film of vaseline oil.
CHROME PLATES
Frequently clean the plate by using a wet rag. Finally grease it with a thin film of vaseline oil.
DO NOT SCRAPE BY USING POINTED OR SHARP METAL OBJECTS! (See Fig. 3).
Use plastic tools resisting high temperatures, or stainless steel scrapers with smooth edges.
Attention: Do not use the scraper on an angle, since this causes scratches on the plate, thus irremediably compromising its
operation and cleaning. Replace the blade when blunt.
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS
The stainless steel parts must be cleaned with soapy water and then dried with a soft cloth. The bright polish is kept by perio-
dical wiping with liquid (POLISH), a product easily available.
