Maintenance and cleaning
The plate
Scratches and black spots appear soon during the normal course of use of the
appliance. This will not impair cooking in any way.
Cleaning is performed with the plancha switched off and the power lead disconnected.
It is easier if the plancha is still lukewarm. Beware risks of burns.
Use a rigid spatula to remove the bulk of the juices adhering to the cooking plate by
pushing them towards the removable tray for collecting cooking residues.
Then thoroughly moisten the cooking plate to water down the remaining juices (using a
sponge filled with water or by dropping ice cubes on it). Leave for a few minutes.
Use the rigid spatula to remove the remaining watered down juices by pushing them
towards the removable tray for collecting cooking residues.
Finish cleaning with an abrasive then a soft sponge.
Pour white vinegar onto the plate to remove odours and residual flavours.
After cooking salty preparations, the cooking plate must be cleaned promptly (risk of
the plate being corroded by the salt). Do not use cleaning products that contain chlorine
on stainless steel, as they may cause corrosion.
Outer casing and lid
Clean the ferritic stainless steel outer casing and lid (Club model) and the black flanges
with a damp sponge. Do not use an abrasive sponge, scourer or brush. Ensure the
appliance is cold before cleaning.
Drip tray and filter
The drip tray and filter collect cooking run-off. Wait until the appliance is cool, then
empty and clean them before next use. The filter (Design and Club models) is
dishwasher safe.
Storage
Store your plancha in a dry and safe location where it will not be damaged. Before
storing away for the winter, clean your plancha thoroughly and apply a stainless steel
protector.
