3. Initial Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the Teppanyaki Grill from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the grill thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely with a soft cloth.

4. Operating Your Teppanyaki Grill

• Preheating: Place the grill on your cooktop and set the heat to medium. Allow it to preheat for several minutes until the surface is evenly hot. A few drops of water should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
• Cooking: Add a small amount of cooking oil or fat to the hot surface. Place your ingredients on the grill. Adjust heat as necessary for different foods. The stainless steel construction ensures quick and even heat distribution.
• Utensils: Use heat-resistant, non-abrasive utensils (e.g., silicone, wood, or plastic) to avoid scratching the surface.
• Induction Cooktops: This grill is compatible with induction cooktops. For optimal performance, ensure your induction hob's cooking zones align with the base of the grill to facilitate even heating. Some induction cooktops may offer a 'bridge' function for larger cookware.
• Multipurpose Use: Ideal for searing meats, grilling vegetables, cooking pancakes, or preparing traditional Teppanyaki dishes.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Demeyere Teppanyaki Grill.

• Cool Down: Always allow the grill to cool completely before attempting to clean it. Submerging a hot grill in cold water can cause warping.
• Dishwasher Safe: The Demeyere Teppanyaki Grill is dishwasher safe, offering convenient cleaning.
• Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residues, soak the grill in warm soapy water for a short period before cleaning.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch and damage the stainless steel surface.
• Drying: After washing, dry the grill thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its polished finish.

6. Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Uneven Heating: Ensure the grill is centered on your cooktop's heating elements. For induction, verify proper contact with the induction zones. Adjust heat settings as needed.
• Food Sticking: Ensure the grill is properly preheated and a sufficient amount of cooking oil or fat is used. Do not attempt to turn food too early; allow it to sear and release naturally.
• Discoloration: High heat can sometimes cause slight discoloration (blue or rainbow tint) on stainless steel. This is harmless and can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water.
