Proper care and maintenance will keep your grill in top operating
condition and prolong its life. Follow these cleaning procedures
on a timely basis and your grill will stay clean and operate with
minimum effort.
CAUTION: Be sure your grill is OFF, unplugged, and cool
before cleaning.
Before initial use and periodically after, wash the grill plate and
hot plate in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a
wash cloth or vegetable brush to clean your grill plate and hot
plate. Dry each thoroughly before reinstalling back in the grill.
CLEANING THE GRILL PLATE & HOT PLATE
To reduce the chance of fire, the grease receptacle must be
visually inspected before each grill use. Remove the grease
receptacle from the grill. Remove any grease and wash the
grease receptacle with a mild soap and warm water solution. Dry
the receptacle thoroughly before reinstalling.
CLEANING THE GREASE RECEPTACLE
Grease can build up on the inside of the lid. Visually inspect the
inside of the grill lid before each grill use. Unplug the unit and use
a wet washcloth to remove any grease. Leave the lid open and let
the grill dry before using it again.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL LID
Before initial use and periodically thereafter, we suggest you spot
clean your grill’s exterior using a mild soap and warm water
solution. (Do not immerse the grill or cord in water.) You can use
a wash cloth or sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire
or brass brush. These will scratch stainless steel and chip painted
surfaces during the cleaning process. Unplug the unit (grill must
be completely cool) before cleaning exterior surfaces. Let the unit
completely dry before cooking.
CLEANING EXTERIOR PAINTED SURFACES
NOTE: To aid cleaning, the inside of the grill may be lined with
aluminium foil.
Remove the cooking plate/s and reflectors (See:
CLEANING THE REFLECTORS). Cut a piece of aluminium foil
340 x 425 mm and slide in under the heating elements. Push
down to take the form of the bottom of the grill. With your
finger, push a hole into the foil at the grease drain hole position
to allow grease to flow into the grease receptacle.
Remove the cooking plate and reflectors. Wipe the inside of
the grill clean with hot soapy water and a soft cloth. Be careful
not to damage the elements.
Dry with a clean cloth. To ensure completely dry, switch the
grill on with the hood down for 4 - 5 minutes.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL
NOTE: Reflectors must be removed before cleaning.
After each use remove the heat reflectors and wash throughly to
remove all fat and food residues – an ‘oven cleaner’ may be used
to remove stubborn residues.
Do not use abrasive cleaners which can dull the surface.
Keeping the reflectors surface clean and bright will maintain
the cooking efficiency.
To remove the reflectors, first remove the cooking plate,
then slide the reflectors out – one from the front, one from the rear.
