RACLETTE
Raclette originated in Switzerland centuries ago. Traditionally Raclette consisted of melting
cheese over steamed potatoes, small pickles called “cornichons” and pickled onions.
Over the years and in modern days, Raclette has evolved to combine many variations
and different cheeses, condiments, meats and vegetables, cooked over a Grill top and in
Raclette Pans. A Raclette meal is fast and easy and a great opportunity for family and friends
to have fun eating and cooking together all at the same time, in a festive atmosphere. Each
person can cook their preferred foods to their own individual taste and experiment new
flavours by adding different spices, sauces and condiments. A unique experience that will
soon become a favourite in your home.
Although Swiss Raclette Cheese is the preferred cheese to use, we invite you to try different
cheeses, the only rule being to make sure you use any cheese that melts easily (Swiss
Cheese, Gruyere, American Cheese, Cheddar, Mozzarella, Provolone, Gouda, etc.).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Cuizen CeraGrill was designed using the latest eco-friendly technology. The
Ceramic coated Raclette Grill Top and Pans are made with a non-stick ceramic finish that
will prevent food from sticking. Before first use, wash Raclette Grill Top and Pans in warm
soapy water. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Rinse well and dry
completely with a clean, dry cloth. DO NOT immerse Raclette Base, Heating Elements,
electrical cord or plug in water or other liquid. DO NOT place Heating Base in
dishwasher.
We recommend to pre-treat the Ceramic Grill Top cooking surface and Pans before first
use, by applying a very thin layer of vegetable oil with a paper towel. NEVER apply any oil
to the underside of the Grill Top, only onto the Grilling surface. After first use, you should
not require any oil to cook food on Ceramic Grill Top or in Pans. DO NOT immerse Raclette
Base, Heating Elements, electrical cord or plug in water or other liquid.
DO NOT use metal forks, knives, spatulas or other sharp utensils on Raclette Grill Top and
in Pans as this may damage the ceramic cooking surface. ALWAYS use plastic/nylon/wood
utensils.
Assemble your Ceragrill Raclette Grill as follows:
•
Place Base on a flat, level and stable surface, and as a precaution, on a heat-resistant
cooking surface such as tile, Formica® or other to protect surface underneath.
•
Place Raclette Grill Top on Base over
the four base mounting brackets.
Make sure the Raclette Grill Top fits
flat and securely in place over all
heating base mounting brackets.

- Fill each Pan with preferred vegetables such as cooked potatoes, pickle slice, pickled onion, etc, and top with a thin slice of cheese. Insert in Pan openings and let broil until cheese is fully melted. Do not let cheese burn. DO NOT cook raw meat in Pans. DO NOT preheat Pans. DO NOT overfill Pans. DO NOT place Pans on Raclette Grill Top. NEVER use Pans without Raclette Grill Top fully in place.
- When done cooking, turn Temperature Control at lowest setting and push Power Button OFF. Let appliance cool off COMPLETELY before touching any parts, moving, disassembling and cleaning.
TIPS

•
Raw meat that is cut in thin slices or small pieces will cook more evenly and faster.
Do not cook big pieces of meat (Steaks, Chicken Breasts, etc,) without cutting them
in slices or smaller pieces. Always cook raw meats on Raclette Grill Top and NEVER in
Pans.
Turn meat, fish, seafood and vegetables frequently when cooking on Raclette Grill Top.
Cook meat thoroughly, specially poultry which must be cooked fully through.
Marinate meats and vegetable prior to cooking for added flavour. ALWAYS pat dry
food that has been marinated to avoid splattering on Raclette Grill Top. Monitor closely
as marinated food will brown faster and may burn.
Ensure meat is cooked fully through by turning it frequently.
Fish, Seafood and Vegetables are particularly tasty when cooked on Raclette Grill Top.
Do not overcook these for best results.
Use Pans to melt cheese or to heat cooked food. Do not let cheese burn. Do not cook
raw meat in Pans. Cooked meats such as ham, salami, cold cuts, etc. can be added and
heated in pan, covered with a slice of cheese.
