  Never use abrasives or steel wire brushes.

• The hot plate

  • The plate is easier to clean when the Griddle is still slightly warm. Beware of the risk of Durn’s.

  • The stainless-steel plate on the Griddle is shiny before use. The surface is likely to become dull and scratched once utensils have been used. After a while, the scratches
    will fade and the plate will have a brushed, weathered look.

  • After the appliance has been used several times, grease residues may appear on the hot plate; this is perfectly normal.

  • To remove these, pour a glass of cold water or place ice cubes on the hot plate and Scrape off residue with a spatula or scraper.

  • During use, these residues may become detached by themselves; this does not mean that the hot plate has been damaged.

  • With a rigid spatula, remove most of the sticky residue on the hot plate by pushing it toward the drip tray.

  • Then pour a small amount of water on the hot plate to soak the remaining residue (use a wet sponge or ice cubes).
