Daily cleaning
It is advisable to clean the teppan yaki immediately after use. This way
you avoid residue burning into the plate and thus causing stains that
may be difficult to remove.
Daily cleaning is best done with lemon juice and water. Pour this liquid
onto the frying area when it is still quite hot (± 65 °C). The liquid soaks
off the residue so that you can dispose of it in the dripping pan. Keep
the teppan yaki switched on at a lower temperature for a short time.
After the grill plate has cooled down use some kitchen paper to wipe
away the residue and the water. You may then dry the teppan yaki with
kitchen paper or a dry towel.
Stubborn stains
Stubborn marks on a stainless steel grill plate are best removed with a
solution of warm water and washing-up liquid. You can use a cleaning
agent for stainless steel to clean the frame. Always polish in the
direction of the steel structure to avoid shine spots. Never use anything
sharp like steel wool or scourers. These scourers cause scratches in the
brush structure. Scouring and polishing will cause shine spots on the
frying area (this kind of damage is not covered by the warranty).
If the above methods do not help to remove the stains, you can clean
the grill plate with a non-scratch scouring pad, which can be ordered
online at www.hps.nl. Remember to treat the entire area in order to
avoid discolouring. Also, as a follow-up treat the grill plate with a polish
or maintenance agent for stainless steel. Please note that over the
years the surface will slightly discolour.
Never use aggressive abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and
lime can accumulate. But if you should use an abrasive anyway, please
polish in the direction of the finish.
