Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will begin to carbonise into a hard substance that is extremely 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.
• A BUFFALO dealer or qualified technician should carry out repairs if required.

Scraping

After each use, scrape the appliance with a scraper/grill stone/copper brush or flexible spatula to remove excess fat and food. A waste tray is provided for the scrapings if necessary.

If there is an accumulation of burned fat or food, the cooking surface should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned.

NOTE: IT IS VITAL THAT THE COOKING SURFACE IS RE-SEASONED AFTER SCOURING.

WARNING: DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL AS IT MAY LEAVE SHARDS THAT COULD CONTAMINATE FOOD.

Waste Tray

These appliances feature a waste tray to collect any liquid or fats that run off during cooking.

At least once a day, remove and empty the waste tray before washing with warm soapy water. Do not allow the tray to overfill or excess grease will run out of the overflow hole at the front of the tray.

WARNING: DO NOT remove the tray during or immediately after use as the contents will be hot.
