CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

cord. Allow the unit to cool down completely before handling.

have cooled completely before handling.
a. We recommend cleaning the plates after every use. The plate should be washed in
warm soapy water or in a dishwasher. Failing to do so may negatively impact the
non-stick coating performance. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad on the
non-stick coating.
