Cleaning
&
Maintenance
n
Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
n
Once you have finished cooking, turn the selector control to the ‘Off’ position and
unplug the power cord from the mains. Allow the appliance to cool for at least 30
minutes before handling.
n
When cold use the scraper to remove any leftover food from the cooking plates. The
scraper can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
n
Dispose of grease from the drip tray. The drip tray can be cleaned by hand or in the
dishwasher.
n
The cooking plates can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. Do not use metallic
objects such as knives when cleaning. This will damage the non stick coating. Use
wooden or heatproof plastic utensils only.
n
If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the cooking plate with lemon juice to prevent
seafood flavour transferring to the next recipe.
n
The housing base, cover and control knobs can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth.
For tough stains dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner or harsh pad.
n
In between recipes, scrape excess food buildup through the grease channel and into
the drip tray, then wipe off any residue with a paper towel before proceeding with the
next recipe.
n
Never leave plastic utensils in contact with the hot grill plate.
n
Make sure all the parts are clean and dry before storing.
n
Never wrap the cord around the outside of the grill.
n
Never immerse the plug, lead or housing in water or any other liquid.
