5. ADVICE FROM THE CHEFS

• To preserve the non-stick nature of the cooking plates, do not allow them to heat up too long without food on them and do not wash the plates with abrasives.

• Use wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils to turn food over and avoid scratching the surface.

• Cut your food into equal size pieces to ensure even cooking.

• With practice, you will become familiar with cooking times and the necessary adjustment to cook the food to your taste.

• Prepare spice- or condiment-based marinades for meats or sh, grilled food will be tasty and food cooked on the barbecue more tender.

• If you have grilled sh and shellsh on the plates, rub the plates with a cloth soaked in lemon juice. This will prevent the characteristic odour from remaining for the next dish.

6. CLEANING AND STORAGE

• After use, turn the knob to “O” and unplug the appliance. Allow to cool completely (at least a 1⁄2 hour) before cleaning.

• Use the spatula to remove any food residue that remains on the cooking plates.

• Empty the grease tray.

• Remove the plates from the unit by pressing the release buttons.

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

• Do not use metal objects like knives and forks, or abrasive sponges or products that could damage 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.13

• Regularly cleaning the appliance prevents build-up. The grill will then continue to be easy to clean and will perform at the same high level.

• Before storing your grill, put the plates and the drip tray back in position, close the lid then wind the cable around the hooks intended for this purpose.

Smoke appears when I use the appliance for the rst time? It is normal for the appliance to release smoke when you use it for the rst time. Remember to wipe it with a damp cloth before turning it on. The appliance turns itself o? Make sure that the temperature control button is not turned to the o position and that the appliance is properly plugged in. It is also possible that the appliance has overheated. Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes. Turn it on again following the usual procedure and restart your cooking. The food is not fully cooked? Make sure that the appliance is properly plugged in and that the selected temperature is appropriate for the foods. Grilled food is not cooked, cooking is dicult? Make sure that the selected temperature is appropriate for the foods. Dierent kinds of food need to be cooked? Use the grill in the open position (barbecue position) and cook each food on a dierent plate to prevent the avours from mixing. A little cooking liquid has leaked onto the body of the appliance? Wait until the appliance has cooled completely then wipe with a hot damp cloth. Do not immerse the base of the appliance in water. It releases a great deal of smoke during cooking? Avoid using too much grease when cooking. Grease will add to the release of smoke. Use a brush to grease dry food.14
