The “Coup feu” solid cast iron plate made of concentric rings allows you to rest the pan
(or even several pans) directly on the surface (g. B, C). It is heated by means of a gas
burner (g. A). The plate is designed to provide a moderately intense heat which is well
distributed over the surface.
To use the appliance, light the ame below the plate by means of the corresponding
knob Fig.D and ensure that there is a ame.
This is ideal for slow cooking and particularly for sauces, browning and grilling, heating
dishes or keeping them warm. Switch the burner on 15/20 minutes before use to allow
the cast iron plate to accumulate heat.
You will then be able to use the plate even when switched off for a further 10/15 minu-
tes. The middle of the plate is the area where the highest temperatures are reached
whereas the outer part is cooler. By simply moving the pan from the middle to the
outside of the plate, you can obtain different cooking intensities without regulating the
ame. Pan dimensions permitting, several dishes can be cooked at the same time
(g. C). If necessary it can be used as a handy top, providing ample space for resting
pots and pans.
The hotplate should be cleaned while still warm using the products normally used in
the kitchen for metal surfaces. Rub with a wire pad, following the direction of the satin
nish. Dry well immediately. If you want to give the plate a better appearance, after
cleaning, apply a coat of a specialist cleaning paste / cream.
If you do not intend to use the hotplate for long periods, after normal cleaning apply a
thin lm of liquid parafn (Vaseline oil) with a wad of cotton wool This treatment is
necessary to prevent any formation of surface oxides.
When next turning on the plate you will notice the evaporation of the parafn oil used.
This phenomenon will disappear in a few seconds.
The hotplate may sometimes present phenomena of surface oxidation due to the
presence of humidity, but above all due to lack of use. You are therefore advised to
use it frequently to prevent any oxidation. Never leave the hotplate damp. If the oxi-
dation phenomenon still appears, use lightly abrasive paper to remove the oxidation,
taking care to rub gently, always in the direction of the plate satin nish.
Do not cook food directly on the plate surface. Always use suitable containers.
