Set-Up and Use
__________________________________________________________
First use
• When unpacking the lava stone cooker, carefully remove all
clamping assembly parts from the box.
• We recommend cleaning the cooking surface before the
first use.
A new cooker may smoke slightly during the first use. To
minimize smoking, allow the stone to heat for approximately
10 minutes, and then cool for approximately 1/2 hour.
Regular use
• Place the cooker on a flat surface.
• Unroll the cord completely.
• Plug in the cooker and turn on the switch; the orange
indicator will light up.
• Allow the stone to heat for 20 - 30 minutes.
• Grease the stone lightly after preheating and just before
starting cooking.
• (optional) Salt the stone generously before putting food on it.
• Place the food on the stone and turn over halfway through
cooking.
• During the meal, scrape the stone with a scraper wire brush
at any time to remove food residue stuck to the stone and
then grease again lightly afterward.
Maintenance
_______________________________________________________________
Always unplug the cooker and allow it to cool completely
before cleaning.
• Stone: Scrape the stone using a scraper wire brush to
remove as much food residue as possible. Clean the stone's
surface using a sponge and hot water only, without dish
detergent. Use of steel wool or a scouring pad is optional
but could dull the stone's appearance slightly (this has no
effect on cooker performance). Dry the stone thoroughly
before setting it back into the base for storage (to minimize
the chance of condensation or oxydation).
• Wooden parts: simply wipe with a damp sponge and then
dry thoroughly with a dry cloth.
• Metal tray: lift out the element and wipe using a damp
sponge and a little detergent; rinse, again using the sponge,
and then dry thoroughly with a dry cloth.
• Element: this should not generally require cleaning. Should
cleaning ever be required, use a stiff-bristled brush.
Take care not to allow any electrical parts to come into
contact with water.
Never submerge the cooker in water.
