STORAGE – SERVICING
If you take care of your appliance properly, you will be able to enjoy using it for many years.
- Do not clean your appliance when it is being used. Wait until it has cooled down to avoid burns caused by hot parts (griddle, grid, pan support, reservoir etc.).
- Once the unit is cold (approximately 15 minutes) remove the cooking plate and pan support. Unlock the reservoir from base by turning it counter-clockwise and lift. Empty the water. Unscrew legs from base.
- Clean greasy parts with soap and water or a non-abrasive detergent product.
- To simplify cleaning, the lid (wok), the cooking plates, reservoir, pan support, can be washed in a dishwasher. The legs can be cleaned with a sponge (no washing powder).
- When cleaning, be careful to avoid clogging the burner holes. If the holes are clogged, for example by food that has spilled over, open them with a non-metal brush.
- After cleaning, assemble the pieces of the unit, put the lid back on and lock by reversing steps A, B, C in Fig. 4.
- Legs (6) could be placed in the reservoir for compact transportation size (Fig. 1 / 2). Make sure to rotate the grid (3) to a position that the u-shape spacer doesn’t rest on the pan support feet (Fig. 10-iii), otherwise the lid couldn’t be closed.
- The unit should be stored in a safe, secure, and dry place, out of the reach of children and never in a cellar.
- If the device has not been used for 30 days, check to see that cobwebs are not clogging the burner hose openings; this could lead to decreased burner efficiency or to a dangerous ignition of gas outside the burner.
- If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time, disconnect the cylinder as indicated in section § F.
- Regularly check the condition of the hose and change it if it shows signs of ageing or cracking (see section § C-2).
- In the case of the injector becoming clogged (the cylinder still contains gas but the appliance will not light), do not try to unclog it yourself. Return the appliance to your retailer.
