5. Operating Instructions
To operate your SEVERIN Raclette Party Grill:
- Preheating: Turn the rotary control knob to the 'MAX' position. The control light will illuminate, indicating the appliance is heating. Allow the grill to preheat for approximately 10-15 minutes to reach the desired temperature, especially for the natural stone plate.
- Temperature Control: Once preheated, you can adjust the temperature using the rotary control knob between 'MIN' and 'MAX' to suit your cooking needs.
- Using the Natural Stone Plate: Lightly grease the stone plate with a small amount of cooking oil before placing food items like meat, fish, or vegetables directly onto it for grilling.
- Using the Raclette Pans: Place desired ingredients (e.g., cheese, vegetables, small pieces of meat) into the non-stick raclette pans. Slide the pans under the heating element for baking and melting.
- Serving: Use wooden or heat-resistant plastic spatulas to remove food from the stone plate and raclette pans to avoid scratching the non-stick coating.
- Switching Off: After use, turn the rotary control knob to the 'MIN' position and unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Allow the grill to cool down completely before cleaning.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your raclette grill.
