5. CLEANING AND STORAGE

• After use, turn the thermostats to the "OFF" position, unplug the appliance and let it cool completely
(at least ½ an hour) before cleaning it.
• Once you are sure that the plate has cooled sufficiently, sponge off excess grease using absorbent
paper. This will help you to clean the plate more quickly.
• Use the scraper to remove food residue which is still stuck.
• Remove the plate from the appliance by pressing the plate's unlock buttons.
• Empty the grease tray.
• Wash the scraper, grease tray and plate with warm, soapy water or place in the dishwasher.
• Use a damp cloth and a little soft detergent to clean the body of the appliance. Do not use an
abrasive sponge or product which could damage the surface.
• Before storing the appliance, replace the grease tray and scraper.

it?

cooking?
It's normal for the appliance to give off a little smoke when
it is used for the first time. Clean the appliance with a
damp cloth before turning it on.
Check that the thermostats are not turned to the 'OFF'
position and that the appliance is plugged in correctly.
It is possible that the appliance has overheated . Unplug
the appliance and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.
Turn it on as usual and start cooking again.
Check that the plug is plugged in properly and that the
thermostats are properly lit. Also make sure you allow the
appliance to heat up before placing food on the plates.
Check that the selected temperature is suitable for the
food and allow sufficient pre-heating time before placing
food on the plates.
Wait until the appliance has cooled down completely and
then wipe off with a hot damp cloth. Never immerse the
base of the appliance in water.
Avoid using too much grease when cooking. Fat makes it
easier for smoke to be given off. Use a brush to grease dry
food.
