MAINTENANCE
Never submerse the appliance in water, spray with water
or place in dishwasher.
COOKING SURFACE:
Before use, the plate of your Plancha Pro has a brushed
appearance. With the use of utensils and acidic foods,
the plate will become scratched and take on a patina.
This change in appearance is normal and does not affect
the functioning of your unit.
*
Unplug the appliance and clean while still hot.
*
Allow the surface to cool for approximately a minute.
*
Pour a glass of water onto the surface and scrape with the supplied
spatula, pushing the residue and liquid into the grease trough.
Important: never use ice to clean the hot plancha as this
could cause thermal shock and warp the stainless steel
cooking surface.
*
The permanent brown staining that develops with cooking is
part of the curing process and is a natural chemical reaction that
protects the surface and prevents foods from sticking.
Important: never attempt to remove the brown layer to
regain the original colour of the cooking surface as this
will cause foods to stick.
*
For deep cleaning, spray the entire stainless steel surface with
white vinegar and clean using a sponge and the supplied spatula/
scraper. This will leave the layer of grease intact, preventing the
need to repeat previous steps.
*
Always wipe the surface off before storing or reuse
GREASE DRIP DRAWER:
*
This container is used to collect the cooking juices which you may
then save or discard.
*
Empty the grease drip drawer and wipe it out using a wet sponge
and dishwashing liquid. This container is also dishwasher-safe.
APPLIANCE BODY:
*
Clean the appliance body using a wet sponge and, if desired,
a little dishwashing liquid.
GREASE TROUGH:

a little dishwashing liquid.
