Caution: Any cleaning agent
used incorrectly may damage
the appliance.
Always let the cooker cool
before cleaning.
Some cooking operations generate
considerable amount of grease, this
combined with spillage can become a
hazard if allowed to accumulate on
the cooker through lack of cleaning.
In extreme cases this may amount to
misuse of the appliance and could
invalidate your guarantee.
It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.
Do not use caustic, corrosive or
abrasive cleaning products, products
containing bleach, coarse wire wool
or any hard implements, as they will
damage the surfaces.
All parts of the appliance can be safely
cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water.

Burner caps and heads
Important:
Allow burners to cool
before cleaning.
Caution:
Hotplate burners can be
damaged by soaking, automatic
dishwashers (or dishwasher powders
/ liquids), caustic pastes, hard
implements, coarse wire wool, and
abrasive cleaning pastes.
For the burners to work safely, the slots
in the burner head where the flames
burn need to be kept clear of deposit.
Clean with a nylon brush, rinse, and
dry thoroughly.
Clean the burner cap & head with a
moist soapy pad - eg; “Brillo”.
Important:
The burner caps and
heads must be repositioned correctly
so that they sit squarely onto the hob
as shown.

Cleaning
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot during and after use of
the griddle. Young children
should be kept away.
Please read this section and the ‘Care
and Cleaning’ section thoroughly.
•
Before using the griddle for the
first time, wipe the surface with a
cloth wrung out in hot soapy
water. Wipe dry and season.
•
Each time the griddle is used it
should be preheated on the highest
temperature setting (number 8) for
5 minutes.
•
Following each use, the griddle
should be thoroughly cleaned
(refer to the ‘Care and Cleaning‘
section) and re-seasoned.
Seasoning
The griddle is made from quality cast iron,
and has a non stick cooking surface.
Regular seasoning will prolong the life
of the griddle and prevent rusting. If
the griddle shows signs of rust, wipe
clean an re-season.
To season;
•
Clean and dry the griddle thoroughly.
•
Rub the griddle sparingly with a small
amount of unsalted vegetable oil.
Supermarket own brand vegetable
oil is suitable. Note that olive oil
is
not
suitable for seasoning.
Using the griddle
Before using the griddle, preheat on
full rate (temperature setting number 8)
for 5 minutes. The red neon indicator
will come on when the griddle is
switched on.
After preheating, turn the control knob
to the desired setting. The griddle is
now ready for cooking.
The griddle should
not
be used on full
rate for the duration of cooking.
Temperature setting number 8 may be
used to seal the surface of foods
before reducing the temperature to a
lower setting for the remainder of the
cooking time.
This ensures that thicker foods such as
chops are thoroughly cooked. It also
prevents foods from sticking and
burning onto the griddle surface.
Vary the temperature settings between
high - medium - low, depending on the
type and quantity of foods that are
being cooked.
Because of the position of the element,
the griddle is hotter at the centre than
around the outer edges. This means
that foods positioned in the centre of
the griddle will cook more quickly.
Do not use metal cooking implements as
they will damage the non-stick surface.
Slight discolouration of the griddle
surface is normal and not detrimental
to cooking performance.
