• The cleaning/scraping tool, the drip tray and the plates can be washed in hot soapy water or in the
dishwasher.

the coating.
• Use a damp cloth and a little soft detergent to clean the body of the appliance, the lid and the
handle. Never use abrasive sponges or products.

cable around the hooks intended for this purpose.

Make sure that the selected temperature is
appropriate for the foods.
Use the grill in the open position (barbecue
position) and cook each food on a different
plate to prevent the flavours from mixing.
Wait until the appliance has cooled
completely then wipe with a hot damp
cloth. Do not immerse the base of the
appliance in water.
Avoid using too much grease when
cooking. Grease will add to the release of
smoke. Use a brush to grease dry food.
