carefully. Do not gouge a sharp metal corner directly into the plate as it will
scratch the aluminium surface.
♦
If you scrub the plates so far back that they are shiny again, you will need to re-
season the plates with oil before next use.
♦
Remember that a light clean regularly is much easier than trying to remove a
large build-up of burnt on food and carbon. Occasionally you may find that the
plates have become very difficult to clean. Should this occur, and only if
necessary, use a NON-CAUSTIC oven cleaner, leaving it on for no longer than
30 seconds and if necessary repeat. Ensure all cleaner residue is removed.
♦
Wipe down the remainder of the machine with a cloth or sponge that is only
DAMP with soapy hot water, taking care to avoid water entering any part of the
Grill Station. Do not clean with the use of a water jet, spray applicator or place
the unit in a dishwasher. Spray applicators can result in liquid penetrating the
switches on the machine, causing dangerous electrical situations, damage to the
machine, and voiding any warranty.
♦
Although every care is taken during manufacture to remove all sharp edges, care
should be taken when cleaning to avoid injury.
Special notes for using Non Stick Coated (T) Series
♦
Do NOT set the thermostat to high temperatures over 240°C when using Non
Stick. It may damage the binder that holds the non-stick to the surface of the
plate, reducing longevity.
♦
A non-stick coating will not stop carbonisation of food that is left on the plates.
Food that is carbonised is harder to remove, and reduces cooking performance.
Avoid food carbonisation by cleaning regularly during normal use, by wiping with
a plastic scraper, spatula or squeegee. The advantage of non-stick coating is
that wiping down often is easy.
♦
A rubber squeegee is an effective tool to quickly wipe down the upper and lower
plates in between cook cycles. Ensure it has an appropriate temperature rating.
♦
At the end of each day plates should be cleaned using a soft cloth dampened
with only hot soapy water, with the machine turned OFF but while the plates are
still warm.
♦
If any stubborn cooking residue does remain at the end of the day it should be
carefully removed by scrubbing with a Plastic scrubber such as:
