From „Hot Rods“ to „Hot Tables“: 

How a German Automobile Tuning Legend Revolutionized Cooking & Dining

         Back in the 80’s industrial designer Paul Schacht was amongst the first automobile tuning professionals, when he transformed the legendary Mercedes Benz 190 into a “Hot Rod”, literally.   

        For quite a number of years Schacht’s fine Benz held the World Record for the fastest Sedan ever to roll right off the conveyor. But this was only the beginning. Many more models followed, all developed along the lines of his philosophy that good exterior design has to have state-of-the-art engineering inside.

         Next to Schacht's professional passion for fast automobiles, Paul has a special liking for excellent food, and cooking it himself, too. Following his logic, cookware has to live up to his perfectionist standards as well. Perfect it was, yet just by the measures the pieces were originally designed for, hence performing one specialty use only.

        “How come one needs to utilize a sleigh of different pots, pans and other cookware to produce a decent, fresh and healthy meal?” he was wondering. That said, the designer/engineer Paul Schacht went to work. 

         Along his motto “Impossible is not part of my vocabulary.”, he dove into experimenting to translate his philosophy, making cooking and dining

into an Enjoyable, Fun, Interactive “Experience”.

The tradition started 3 generations back in 1887

Installation of Built-In Models

Simple - as long as you follow the installation sheets and

READ all materials before installing• It is VERY IMPORTANT to follow ALL instructions because of the

patented “Shallow-Dip” feature.• RODDING protects brittle granite (natural stone installation requires extra

REINFORCEMENT for MO-80) that is less thick than 1.5” following the MIA* guidelines (*Marble Institute of America) (alternatively: install strong BRACKETS; order separately)

• Do not drill holes or cut stone before unit is physically present.• Apply very thin line of silicone sealer along the edges (optional) on the underside.

This is mandatory for outdoor units that are exposed to weather to prevent moisture intrusion

• Power cord is 10 ft. -> this is a special power cord for appliances. No other can be used.

• Conduit is the hollow connection between the heating element and the temperature control box thermostat. Conduit length is ~19”. It is located at the long side of the unit. (if requested it can be located at short side; special order - ETA 4-6 weeks)

• Note: model MO-80 does not fit above 24 inch deep (front to back) cabinets without extra preparations

Preparing/Cooking a Meal

ALWAYS Pre-heat on #5Necessary to preserve the excellent performance quality of the appliance.

Always observe the !!!WARM-UP PHASE!!! otherwise heating element will “fry” and will be destroyed beyond repair. If appliance is on for more than 4 hours (e.g.

customer forgot to turn off) it will “burn out” and won’t work again.Continue to pre-heat until orange indicator light signals off

Add foodKeep space between food items - do not overcrowd. Rather cook in batches.

Move food to warming areato keep warm while you continue to prepare the rest of the meal.

Serve right from the CND Teppanyaki Top.Switch teppanyaki grill off.

Enjoy your meal.Then Clean the Easy Way

Do you recommend specific cooking tools?• You want consider using non-scratch utensils, like

the Elevated Utensil Series by Joseph Joseph (www.josephjoseph.com) to prolong the beauty of your appliance.

Do I need a vent hood? • When installing in an indoor kitchen, you want to

prevent the cooking vapors to carry particles throughout the house, which might settle on surfaces and furniture.

Would a downdraft work?• A downdraft unit has the advantage to catch

vapors/steam right where they occur. Due to proximity of cut-out counter will require additional reinforcement and/or brackets.

FAQCan I install into Granite?• With proper professional preparation of a

natural stone countertop, you can. It needs to be fortified on the underside (“rodded”) surrounding the cut out. However, engineered stone (e.g. Quarz) is much stronger in withstanding the “upward pull” occurring around the edges of our flat rectangular units, especially the larger model MO-80.

How long is the warm-up time?• It reaches the mandatory #5 WARM UP

temperature in less than 5 minutes. After the orange light turns off, the heat can be set to any higher or lower temperature.

Can I cut on the stainless surface?• Yes, you can, but beware of potential scratches.

However, since the cook top is made from SOLID 304 stainless steel (versus sandwiched or plated), the surface can be polished/buffed up as often as necessary.

How To CleanFood residues can easily be “cooked off” by pouring a littlewater around the warm cooking center (compare to cleaning stainless cookware where one brings water to a boil).

Warm unit on #4 to 5 until water bubbles slightly.Use a non-scratch, STRAIGHT EDGE (!) SPATULA(we like the Elevate Wooden Turner by Joseph Joseph)Note: Bamboo turners can have sharp edges due to their specific grain.

!!! USE GREAT CAUTION: SURFACE + LIQUIDS ARE VERY HOT !!!

Gently loosen the residues bit by bit, moving the water around to the areas where needed. Wipe off the remains with a paper towel or soft rag.Utilizing TONGS for holding the rag/paper towel may prevent burns.Clean with water until cleanser and food residues are gone.

VERY IMPORTANT: CLEAN COOKING SURFACE WITH WATER BEFORE EACH USE!

For very difficult stains or stubborn remains, shake some "Barkeeper's Friend" powder over the COLD surfaceand add a bit water. Using a soft rag or folded paper towel,WORK ALONG THE GRAIN (visible structure in the metal),- EDGE TO EDGE - in LONG EVEN STROKES,Use gentle, even pressure. Clean up thoroughly with plain water. Dry with a soft rag or paper towel.

PLEASE REMEMBER: ALWAYS WORK THE COMPLETE SURFACE. DO NOT SCRUB PARTIAL, NOR IN CIRCLES!!!

Advantages over Competition

Specifically Developed for Residential Use + Catering

• LARGE HOT SPOTto cook food for multiple persons at the same time, surrounded by a smaller warming areaversussmall hot spot combined with very large warming area (as commonly used in most restaurants)

• UNIQUE SHALLOW-DIP PATENTED TECHNOLOGYmakes unsightly juice grooves and smelly grease traps obsolete. Surplus juices or released fats from meat accumulate in the center and can easily be dabbed up with a paper towel.THUS ALLOWING FOR DELICIOUS SAUCES

SOLID 304 Stainless Steel versus sandwiched or chromed surface

• CLEANS UP LIKE NEWno matter how bad it is burned in; no residues

• WILL NOT DISCOLOR like clad or iron surfaces

• CAN BE “BUFFED UP” as often as you want becauseit is SOLID 8 to 10 gauge,

304 German Stainless Steel

Control Box Options

IMPORTANT

• Standard cabinets (24 inch deep) only fit for models Mo-51 or Mo-61. • 240V and 120 Volt perform the same way. Units will heat up to 450 F• 240 Volt: has a bit faster recovery time / Pulls less AMP /Made mostly for

kitchens that are wired 240 Volt• Needs 20 AMP breaker each burner on 120 Volt; separate if poss.• Commercial heating element (ProStyle): Can be on up to 10 hrs continuously • Residential heating element: Can only be on for 3 to 4 hours at a time• MO-80: Mandatory absolute minimum 6” counter space all around• MO-80: counter top needs to be at least 1.5” inch thick• MO-80: If customer does not have above requirements, counter top will need

reinforcement by RODDING. If not reinforced, chances are COUNTER TOP WILL BREAK.

• Customer should never cut stone before unit is physically present, this rule is for all UNITS. It should be in their possession and together with counter top so installer has a better visual. ALL installation material (that comes in the box) has to be read before cutting counter top and installing unit.
