ABOUT CLEANING PRODUCTS
PARTS
Do not cover drip bowls with aluminum foil.
Bowls can permanently discolor over time, if exposed to excessive heat, or
if soil is allowed to bake on. The discoloration will not affect the cooking
performance.
1. After each use, wash, rinse and dry.
2. If heavily soiled, gently scrub with plastic scouring pad. If soil is allowed
to burn on, it may be impossible to remove.
3. A non-abrasive metal polish such as Flitz may be used to help remove
blue/gold heat stains. Flitz is available in many automotive supply and
hardware stores. These stains are caused by overheating, and normally
occur over a period of time. They are usually permanent. Follow package
directions.
CLEANING PROCEDURES
Never cover insert with aluminum foil as this prevents the fat from
draining to pan below.
1. Remove from oven after use. Cool then pour off grease.
2. Place soapy cloth over insert and pan; let soak to loosen soil.
3. Wash in warm soapy water. Use soap filled scouring pad to remove
stubborn soil.
