Food odor remains on the grill plates after I have cleaned them.
•If you cook with aromatic herbs, onions or garlic and have a residual odor, first
clean the unit according to instructions. Make a paste of baking soda and water and spread it on the cooled surface of the grill plates. Allow it to sit for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a damp sponge or cloth.
