Maintenance and Cleaning

The frame
To avoid any risk of burns, you are advised to always allow the hot plate to cool down before
cleaning the frame. Clean with a sponge soaked in warm water and detergent. Never use
abrasives or steel wire brushes.
The plate
It is normal that after a while stripes will appear as a result of using different cooking
utensils. All these scratches will blend to give the plate a patina, brushed.
The plate is easier to clean when the plancha grill is still slightly warm. Beware of the risk of
burns.
The stainless steel plate on the plancha grill is shiny before use. The surface is likely to become
dull and scratched once utensils have been used. This is normal wear and tear. After a while,
the scratches will fade and the plate will have a brushed, weathered look.
After the appliance has been used several times, grease residues may appear on the hot plate;
this is perfectly normal.
To remove these, pour a glass of cold water or place ice cubes on the hot plate when the
appliance is cold and scrape off residue with a spatula or scraper. You can also soak residues in
water.
During use, these residues may become detached by themselves; this does not mean that the
hot plate has been damaged.
With a rigid spatula, remove most of the sticky residue on the hot plate by pushing it towards
the drip tray.
Then wet the hot plate thoroughly to soak the remaining residue (use a wet sponge or ice
cubes). Leave for a few minutes.
With a rigid spatula, remove the wet, sticky residue and push it towards the drip tray.
Clean with a scouring pad and then a soft sponge.
