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.  
HOW TO USE  
1. Place the Base on a flat level surface. Turn the Temperature Control Dial  
to ‘•‘ position. NOTE: Ensure that the area being used is well ventilated. Be  
careful of splattering fat or juice when grilling foods.  
2. Position the Reversible Grill Plate over the Element on the Grill Supports.  
Use the smooth side for warming, preparing fondue or breakfast foods, etc.  
Use the ridged side for grilling meats, fish or vegetables.  
3. Place Raclette Pans under the element so they rest on the Lower Plate.  
4. Plug the Power Cord into a 120 volt AC wall outlet.

SAL6-480 BookletTPG_323_V3_EN 6/1/06 6:34 PM Page 5  
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the MAX position and preheat  
for about 10 minutes. When cooking turn the Temperature Control Dial  
between ‘•‘ and MAX positions. These settings reflect temperatures  
ranging from low to high respectively. The temperature may be adjusted  
during cooking for optimal cooking results.  
6. The Raclette Pans can be moved on and off the Lower Plate as food  
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.  
HELPFUL HINTS  
Before preheating the Grill Plate, use a paper towel moistened in 1 tbsp.  
(15 ml) of good quality vegetable oil and spread on cooking surface  
of Grill Plate and inside Raclette Pans.  
Always preheat the Grill at the MAX temperature setting for 10 minutes.  
DO NOT use metal utensils to place food on or remove food from  
the Grill Plate. This may scratch the non-stick Grill Plate.  
Use the Spatulas included with the appliance to remove food from  
the Raclette Pans.  
Never cut food directly on the Grill Plate or in the Raclette Pans.  
When using the Raclette Pans on top of the Grill Plate, place gently  
so they do not scratch the Grill Plate.
