CARE AND MAINTENANCE
General cleaning
1. Wipe the outside surfaces of the appliance with a clean damp cloth.
2. Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher.
Grill plates
• Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners, solvents, scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.
• Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs of wear. This
is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.
There are two ways you can clean the grill plates:
While the plates are still hot
• Wear appropriate protection such as a oven gloves or similar, and use extreme care while wiping the
hot plates (note that oven gloves are not shown in figure B for clarity).
1. Unplug your grill.
2. Using a piece of folded kitchen paper or damp cloth, wipe the plates in one continuous motion from
the back to the front. Always support the top plate when wiping either the top or the bottom plate
(Fig. B) to avoid the unit tipping over.
When the plates are cold
1. Unplug your grill and let it cool completely.
2. Wipe the plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a paper towel with a dab of cooking oil to remove
stubborn stains.
STORING
The unit may be stood vertically (on the hinged side) for storage.
