Never turn on LOLA with the lid closed.
Each knob controls one burner. The right knob operates the right cooking zone, and the left knob operates the left cooking zone.They can be used independently or together, depending on the cooking surface and power you need.
Open the gas bottle.Turn the knobs counterclockwise to adjust the heat to the desired level.
Each burner is equipped with a thermocouple safety system, which automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out accidentally.
To ignite a burner:Press the corresponding knob and turn it to the left to the “Low Flame” position (see illustration above).By pressing the knob, you trigger a spark that ignites the gas.Keep the knob pressed for 10 to 15 seconds, gradually turning it to the “High Flame” position.Release the knob once the thermocouple is warm and the flame remains stable.
If the flame goes out, the thermocouple may not be warm enough.Return the knob to the OFF position and repeat the process.
Once the burners are lit, reduce the heat to “Low Flame” for at least 5 minutes to avoid damaging the cast iron plate due to rapid temperature rise.

Make sure both knobs are turned to OFF , and close the gas valve at the bottle.If cleaning is postponed, remember to put the plancha lid back on to protect it in case of rain.Excess water could cause the grease tray to overflow, requiring you to clean the gas bottle, its hose, accessories, the floor, etc.
The manufacturer recommends always covering the plancha once the plate is cool or nearly cool, to protect it properly.

As per the manufacturer’s instructions, DO NOT USE THE ICE CUBE METHOD , as it may damage the enamel coating of the cast iron plate.
For cleaning, make sure you have: • A roll of paper towels (essential) • A plancha spatula • A glass of warm or hot water • White vinegar or silver cleaning paste (optional)
Steps: 1. Use the spatula to scrape the cast iron plate, gathering food residues into a corner, then wipe them off with a sheet of paper towel. 2. Absorb as much grease as possible with paper towels. 3. Pour a small amount of water onto the remaining deposits and scrub with the spatula until they dissolve. Use the spatula to push the liquid into a corner and absorb it with paper towel. Repeat with more water and wipe again until the paper towel comes out clean. 4. (Optional): Apply white vinegar or a bit of silver cleaning paste mixed with water, especially useful to remove strong odors. 5. Empty the grease tray, depending on how much grease and water has been collected.
Steps 1 and 2 help reduce the amount of water needed during the next steps.
