Care and Cleaning

Always use heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils only to remove food from the grill.

Do not use sharp or metal objects as these will scratch the non-stick surface.

Do not cut food on top of the cooking plates.

To clean after use

Always turn the power off and remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.

Do not immerse the contact grill in water or any other liquid.

Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as they will scratch the non-stick plates and the exterior surface.

Do not place the contact grill in the dishwasher.

To clean the non-stick plates

The cooking plates are coated with a durable non-stick surface, therefore little cleaning is required. Always allow the grill to cool until just warm before cleaning. Once cooled, wipe over the cooking plates with a dampened cloth or paper towel to remove excess oil.

A soft washing sponge may be used to remove any cooking residue. The grill is easier to clean when slightly warm.

Always clean after each use to prevent a build up of cooking residue on the grill.

Note: Hold the top lid open whilst cleaning the grill plates.

To remove stubborn food residue

Some foods that are marinated or coated may cause the food to stick to the cooking plates. To remove these stubborn food residues squeeze some warm soapy water (using a mild household detergent) over the residue. Allow to stand then use a non-abrasive

plastic scouring pad, sponge or brush to clean off the residue. Do not use steel wool, metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as these will scratch the non-stick surface.

To clean the exterior

Wipe over with a dampened cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.

To clean the drip tray

Allow the contents of the drip tray to cool before removing the tray and discarding the contents. Empty the drip tray after each use and wash in warm soapy water using a non-abrasive scouring pad and mild detergent. After cleaning, dry the drip tray with a clean, soft cloth and slide back into position. The drip tray is dishwasher safe and should be placed on the top shelf.

Note: Do not pour oil, fat or grease down the sink.

Storage

Allow the grill to cool and clean it after each use and before storing it away. The grill will store in an upright position in cupboards, shelves or on the bench top. The cord can be wrapped underneath the unit.
