adjustments are made.
Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will begin to carbonise into a hard substance that is extremely
difficult to remove. To prevent this follow the cleaning steps below:
•
Always turn Off the appliance and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
•
Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning but for best results clean the plates when they are still
slightly warm.
•
Use warm, soapy water and a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the appliance.
•
Take care when using scrapers to remove cooking residues as they can damage the cooking surface.
•
Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
•
A Apuro dealer or qualified technician should carry out repairs if required.
Scraping
After each use, scrape the appliance with a scraper/grill stone/copper brush or flexible spatula to remove
excess fat and food. A waste tray is provided for the scrapings if necessary.
If there is an accumulation of burned fat or food, the cooking surface should be thoroughly scoured and
re-seasoned. .
Note: It may be necessary to slightly grease the plates with cooking oil before cooking
depending on the foodstuff.
Note: 200°C to 220°C is suitable for general cooking.
Note: All Apuro Contact Grills feature counter-balanced top plates that allow for even
cooking.
Note: It is possible to tighten the plate so that it sits in the open position (if required).
NOTE: IT IS VITAL THAT THE COOKING SURFACE IS RE-SEASONED AFTER SCOURING.
WARNING: DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL AS IT MAY LEAVE SHARDS THAT COULD
CONTAMINATE FOOD.
