Special notes for the Teppan Yaki
• During operation, noises can be caused by the grill expanding. This is not a de-
fect in the cooking surface and its operation is not affected.
• If the grill is used frequently, a slight depression may form in the middle of the
cooking surface where the two zones meet. This is not a defect in the cooking
surface and its operation is not affected. Therefore:
– Do not place pots and pans over the transition between the two zones, as
the depression can make them unsteady.
– Frying on the transition between the zones can result in uneven browning
(e. g. with pancakes).

The most important features of your appliance
• The cooking surface is 11 mm thick. It consists of two layers of stainless steel
with a layer of aluminium between them. This therefore has a good thermal
capacity, which prevents a rapid decrease in temperature, for example, when
preparing meat from the refrigerator.
• The cooking surface is divided into two separately controlled grilling zones of
the same size (see “Teppan Yaki layout”).
• The groove around the edge serves three important functions:
– It reduces the temperature on the installation surfaces so much that the
cooking surface can be installed into various types of kitchen worktops.
– The indentation of the groove absorbs some of the expansion of the heated
cooking surface.
– Minor food remnants and liquids can easily be fed into the groove and re-
moved.
• The desired temperature can be kept constant by the thermostat with a reada-
ble temperature setting. This prevents overheating of the food and permits
low-fat cooking with retention of nutritional values.
• The food is prepared (heated) directly on the cooking surface, with or without
fat. There is also the option of cooking with pots or pans.
• The heating time, e.g. to 180 °C, is approx. 4 minutes. The cooling down time,
e.g. from 180 °C to 100 °C, is approx. 25 minutes, or to 60 °C approx.
60 minutes.
• The cooking surface must always be preheated.
