Seasoning of the griddles
The surfaced cast iron griddles need seasoning before using for the first time. Use the cleaning pad
ATE1 for this operation.
Caution: this operation (lasting 1 to 1 ½ hour) is necessary when griddles are new.
Use sunflower frying oil without other ingredient.
Once your appliance is connected to the gas supply and the griddle plate is in position, proceed as
follows.
Seasoning setting:
Model crepe maker
Thermostatically
controlled gas (lever
graduated from 0 to 10).
Manually controlled gas.

to 8)
For the first 4 layers: pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the plate. Spread uniformly using the
pad. Allow to dry until there is no more smoke: 5 to 10 minutes.
from the 5th to the 9th layer: pour ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the plate. Spread uniformly
using the pad. Allow to dry until there is no more smoke: 5 to 10 minutes.
Last layer: pass the pad over the plate without adding fat.
End result: seasoning which looks like varnish, light chestnut in colour.
For the first run, between each crêpe, grease the newly based plate well.
When making crêpes, the pad is recommended for greasing and wiping residue on the plate.
