56 Press the On/Off button and confirm by pressing the OK button.

57 Unplug the appliance.

58 Let it cool for at least 2 hours.

To prevent accidental burns, allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning.

59 To unlock the plates, press the release tabs on the left hand side of the appliance. Before cleaning, unlock and remove the plates to prevent damage to the cooking plates.

60 The drip tray and cooking plates are dishwasher safe. The appliance and its power cord must never be put in the dishwasher. If you wash the plates in a dishwasher, always wipe the plates over with a little cooking oil on next use in order to condition the coating and ensure the best performance from the non-stick. The heating elements should never be cleaned after the plates have been removed. If they are very dirty, wait until the appliance has cooled down completely and clean them with a dry cloth.

61-62

To make washing the plates easier, soak them for 1 hour in hot water and some washing-up liquid, then rinse thoroughly to remove all residue. Dry them gently with a paper towel.

Do not use metal scouring pads, steel wool or abrasive cleaners to clean any part of the grill or cooking plates, use only nylon or non-metallic cleaning pads suitable for non-stick surfaces.

Empty the drip tray and wash it in warm, slightly soapy water, then wipe it thoroughly with a paper towel.

63 To clean the grill lid, wipe with a sponge moistened with warm water and dry with a soft, dry cloth. To clean the control panel, use only a soft, dry cloth.

64 The appliance must not be submerged in water or in any other liquid.

65 Always ensure that the appliance is clean, cold and dry prior to storage.

All repairs must be done by an authorised service centre.
