Frequently Asked Questions - 688510 CaterChef

How do I clean the griddle after use?

After turning off and unplugging, allow the device to cool down completely. Clean the baking plate and grease tray with warm water, a wet cloth, and a small amount of mild detergent. Do not rinse the device under the tap or use abrasive cleaners or steel brushes. Dry thoroughly before next use.

What should I do if the griddle does not heat up?

Check that the plug is firmly inserted into a working socket and that the thermostat is set between +50°C and +300°C. If the indicator light does not come on, the power cord may be damaged or the thermostat faulty. Contact a qualified technician for repair.

Can I leave the griddle unattended while cooking?

No, never leave the appliance unattended during use or while cooling down. The high temperatures can pose a fire hazard. Always stay nearby and turn the thermostat back to 0 and switch off after use.

How long does it take for the griddle to cool down?

After turning off, allow at least 30 minutes for the griddle to cool down to a safe temperature before touching or cleaning.

What type of cookware can I use on the griddle?

The griddle is designed for direct contact with food, but you can also use flat-bottomed pans. Avoid using cookware that may scratch the stainless steel surface.

How do I set the temperature?

Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the desired temperature between +50°C and +300°C. The indicator light will turn on. Once the set temperature is reached, the light will turn off, and the thermostat will cycle on and off to maintain the temperature.

What should I do if the griddle produces smoke?

A small amount of smoke on first use is normal as protective residues burn off. If smoke persists, the temperature may be too high or food residue may be burning. Lower the temperature and clean the plate after cooling. Ensure the grease tray is not overflowing.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, never plug the griddle into an extension cord or a socket with multiple devices. This can cause overheating and fire hazard. Plug directly into a grounded wall outlet.

Is the griddle suitable for outdoor use?

No, the griddle is designed for indoor use only. Do not store or use it outdoors or in damp areas. Keep it in a dry, well-ventilated place.

How do I dispose of the griddle at end of life?
