IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following :

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord,
plugs or appliance in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the
nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair
or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments is not recommended
by the appliance manufacturer as it may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in
a heated oven.

11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance

containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

12. Always attach plug to appliance first (for models with
removable cord), then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to “off” (for selected models
with On/Off swtich or adjustable thermostat), then remove
the plug from wall outlet.

13. Do not use appliance for other than its intended use.

14. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Installation

Thank you for purchasing this T-FAL appliance. Whatever your model,
please read the instructions carefully and keep them on hand.

Unwind the cord completely.

voltage indicated under the appliance.

Connect the appliance to a plug with an earth connection.

Models with fixed cord : if the power supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Connect the cord on the appliance (depending on
model) then plug into the wall socket.

Be cautious how you place the cord, so that it does not
get in the way of guests moving around the table.

Never plug the appliance in when not in use.

Do not leave the appliance switched on while unattended.

Have each guest place slices of meat, fish,
vegetables or fruit onto the stone and have them

Never place the stone in contact with acidic foods such as vinegar
products, mustard, pickled gerkins, pickles…

Do not place objects (other than food) on the stone.

Do not touch the hot surfaces of the appliance.

Use about 200 g of food per person : using only use fresh products.

Trim fat from meat. Debone fish. Cut the shellfish in half.
