Cleaning the appliance

Clean the appliance after each use, once it has
cooled down. Remove spilled fluids immediately; don't
let any food rests burn on.
Keep the ventilation openings under the pan support
clean. The ventilation openings must not be covered.
Thoroughly dry the burners after cleaning. Only turn
on the appliance once all parts are dry. Damp burner
parts could cause problems with ignition or an
unstable flame.
When assembling the burner parts, pay attention to
their correct positions (latching lugs). All parts must
lie flat.
