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.
•
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. .
Waste Tray
These appliances feature a waste tray to collect any liquid or fats that run off during cooking.
At least once a day, remove and empty the waste tray before washing with warm soapy water. Do not allow
the tray to overfill or excess grease will run out of the overflow hole at the front of the tray.
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.
WARNING: DO NOT remove the tray during or immeadiately after use as the contents
will be hot.
