USAGE ADVICE

The Campinas Planchet TWIN has been specially designed to prevent the transfer of flavors between different foods. A customized separation wall divides the ribbed “grill” side from the classic flat surface side of your griddle. The ribbed side is ideal for cooking meats (sausages, duck breast…) and offers the possibility of classically branding it, while excess grease channels away and ensuring it doesn’t grill in too much oil for healthier cooking.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Never modify the appliance: any modifications may prove dangerous.
In order to maintain your appliance in perfect operating condition, it is recommended to clean it after each use.
Important: Please do not use paper towel or scratch-sponges. As it is extremely agressive towards paint and stainless steel material, it could scratch paint/stainless steel/markings. A soft microfiber towel is as efficient and will prevent damages.

Wait until the appliance has cooled down before cleaning.
Close the gas cylinder and remove the regulator.
Clean the top of the burner, as well as the sides and base, using a moist sponge (water with dish washing liquid).If necessary use a damp steel brush.
Check that the burners outlets are clear and dry before using again. If necessary use a wire brush to unclog the burners outlets.
If the appliance has not been used for over three months, make sure that cobwebs are not obstructing the openings of the burner tubing, which might lead to poor grill performance or dangerous flaming outside the burner. Clean the tube openings of the burner tube or the burner itself when necessary.

NOTE: Regular cleaning extends the lifetime of the burner and prevents premature oxidation that may result from cooking acid residue. Oxidation of the grill burner is, however, normal.
Firebox walls, control panel, grease cup
Regularly clean these elements using a sponge damped with

Cooking griddle
The cooking griddle is porcelain enamelled.
Pay attention not to hit the cooking griddle on a hard surface as it could damage the enameling.
Cleaning precautions:
The most efficient and easiest way to clean your Plancha TWIN griddle is when it is still lukewarm after it has been in use. If the griddle has already cooled down after usage, it is also possible to slightly re-heat it for a few minutes at a low flow rate. Always clean the griddle with the burner OFF, the taps closed and
WITHOUT any flames.
Ribbed grilling surface:
To clean the ribbed part of your Plancha TWIN griddle, Campingaz recommends using the brush included. When the griddle is still lukewarm, sweep between the ribs from the back of Plancha to the front and push the grease toward the trough. Then channel the grease towards the drain hole on the front
left of the griddle.
Flat surface :
To clean the flat surface of your Plancha TWIN griddle, Campingaz recommends pouring water or white vinegar on the still lukewarm griddle. Gently scrape over the surface with a spatula to remove as much of the residue as possible and push the residue as well as the liquid towards the trough at the front of the griddle. Using the spatula channel the remnants towards
the drain hole on the front left of the griddle.
Overall griddle:
White vinegar makes cleaning the Plancha TWIN griddle easier. Be mindful that the addition of any assisting cleaning liquids (water, vinegar etc.), can cause the grease cup to fill up considerably. Monitor the fill level of the cup to avoid overfilling. Empty the cup and secure it back in place when necessary. Campingaz recommends emptying the grease cup after each grilling session.
Complete the cleaning and degreasing by removing the griddle from the Plancha TWIN, wash it with a sponge and dishwashing liquid, rinse with clean water and finally dry the griddle.
Empty the grease cup and wash it in the dishwasher.

STORAGE

Close the gas cylinder valve after use.
It is recommended to store your appliance indoors after removal of the gas cylinder.
When not used for a long period of time, it is recommended that the plancha be stored in a dry, sheltered place (eg : garage).
