Cleaning & Maintenance
n
Before first use an 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 and 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 cups. The drip cups 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.

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 cups, then
wipe off any residue with a paper towel before proceeding with the next recipe.

Never leave plastic utensils in contact with the hot grill plate.

Make sure all the parts are clean and dry before storing.

Never wrap the cord around the outside of the grill.
