5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
Once you have finished cooking, turn the temperature control to the zero (0) position and unplug the
power cord from the mains.
Allow the appliance to cool completely before handling.
When cold use the scraper to remove any leftover food from the cooking plates. The scraper can be
washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
Dispose of grease from the drip tray. The drip tray can be cleaned by hand or in the dishwasher.
The cooking plates can be washed by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not use metallic
objects such as knives when cleaning. This will damage the non-stick coating.
If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the cooking plate with lemon juice to prevent seafood fla-
vour transferring to the next recipe.
The housing base cover and control knobs can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tough stains
dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner or harsh pad.
Never immerse the plug, lead or housing base in water or any other liquid.
Make sure all the parts are clean and dry before storing.
Never wrap the cord around the outside of the grill.
