Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

Warning:

• Regularly remove excess grease or fat using a cloth dampened with warm soapy water.
• Take care when using scrapers to remove cooking residues as they can damage the cooking surface.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

For best performance, BUFFALO recommend that the appliance is cleaned after each day of operation.
Failure to clean the appliance regularly may result in premature activation of the thermal cut-out switch.

Scraping

• After each use, scrape the appliance with a soft plastic or wooden scraper to remove excess fat and food.
• If there is an accumulation of burned fat or food, the cooking surface should be thoroughly scoured.

Caution

• It is vital that the cooking surface is lightly oiled after scouring. Do not use steel wool as it may leave shards that could contaminate food.

Waste Tray

• This appliance is featured with a waste tray to collect any liquid or fats that run off during cooking.
• At least once a day, remove and empty the waste tray before washing with warm soapy water. Do not allow the tray to overfill. Warning: DO NOT remove the tray during or immediately after use as the contents are still hot.
