difficult to remove. To prevent this, follow the cleaning steps below:
Always turn OFF the appliance and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
•
• Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning, but for best results clean the plates when they are still
slightly warm.
• Use warm, soapy water and a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the appliance.
• Take care when using scrapers to remove cooking residues as they can damage the cooking surface.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
