Cleaning and care | Gaggenau VR 230 specs

4. Cleaning and care

Please thoroughly clean the appliance before operating it for the first time. Heat up the appliance at level 9 for a few minutes.

Allow the appliance to cool down. Swivel up the two heating elements and remove the inner tub containing the lava stones.

Clean the grill after every use. By doing so, you avoid baking in of residues. After residues have baked in several times, they are then difficult to remove. Wait until the appliance has cooled down completely before cleaning it.

Clean the grease collecting tray in a dishwasher. Clean the gridiron with the grill brush or with dishwashing detergent and a dishwashing brush.

The lava stones must be replaced when they are black. In this case, the lava stones have become saturated with grease. You can order lava stones by quoting the order number LV 020-000.

Wash the lava stones thoroughly with rinsing detergent and dry them. Pour the lava stones back into the lava stone tub and tilt down the grilling elements. The grilling elements must lie flat. Heat up both grilling elements to level 9 for a few minutes and then turn the control knob to 0.

Wipe out the stainless steel tub with rinsing detergent. Soak stubborn stains.

Do not scrape off baked in food remainders. Soften them with a moist cloth and detergent instead.

You can clean the tub (not the control panel!) with stainless steel cleaner and then with a stainless steel care product.

The control panel must not be cleaned with stainless steel cleaner as this may be aggressive to the inscriptions. Use a moist cloth and light rinsing detergent to clean it and wipe it dry with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use any abrasive or caustic cleaners (abrasive and nitro cleaning agents).

Do not use any abrasive sponges!

To clean the griddle plate AM 060-000 (special accessory), sprinkle coarse salt onto the grilling surface after use. Mix the salt with the grease until it has become saturated with the grease. Remove the salt and wipe it away with a dry cloth.

It is advisable to spray or rub the griddle plate with oil if it is not in use for a prolonged length of time.

Note:

The appliance must not be cleaned with a high- pressure cleaner or with water pressure!
