15 Cleaning and Maintenance

This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to cleaning and maintaining the device. Please observe the notices to prevent damages due to cleaning the device incorrectly and to ensure trouble-free operation.

15.1 Safety information

▲VORSICHT Attention

Please observe the following safety notices, before you commence with cleaning the device:

▶ Unplug the device after grilling and before cleaning and let the device cool down with closed grilling plates.
The device must be cleaned and food residues must be removed at regular intervals. If the device is not maintained in a clean condition, this will have a detrimental effect on the service life of the device and can also result in a dangerous condition in the device as well as in the growth of fungus and bacteria.
▶ After using the appliance is hot. Danger of burns! Wait until the appliance has cooled down.

▲VORSICHT Attention

▶ Clean the grill after use as soon as it has cooled down. Extended waiting unnecessarily complicates cleaning and can make it impossible in extreme cases. Excessive accumulations of dirt can even damage the device under certain circumstances.
▶ Do not immerse the housing with power cord in water or other liquids, and do not put it in the dishwasher.
▶ Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents. Do not scrape off stubborn dirt with hard items. Do not use a sharp metal pusher
▶ Do not cut the food with a knife on the surface.
▶ No cleansing agents (except liquid soap), no nylon brushes or metallic brushes must be used as the surface of the grillplate could be damaged.

15.2 Cleaning the grilling plates

Press the release buttons and remove the grilling plates. Then clean them in warm soapy water and dry them with soft cloth. You can also clean the grilling plates in the dishwasher. Then replace them.

15.3 Cleaning the drip tray

After each use, remove the drip tray (push gently against it then pull it out) and wash it in a warm water with a dish washing liquid solution. Then rinse with clean water, dry and replace to the bottom of the grill.

15.4 Cleaning the housing

Use a dry or slightly moist cloth to clean the housing, then wipe it dry.

16 Disposal of the Old Device

Old electric and electronic devices frequently still contain valuable materials. However, they also contain damaging substances, which were necessary for their functionality and safety. If these were put in the non-recyclable waste or were handled incorrectly, they could be detrimental to human health and the environment.

Therefore, do not put your old device into the non-recyclable waste under any circumstances.

HINWEIS Please note

• Utilise the collection point, established in your town, to return and recycle old electric and electronic devices. If necessary, contact your town hall, local refuse collection service or your dealer for information.
  ▶ Ensure that your old device is stored safely away from children until it is taken away.
