Frequently Asked Questions - P109 BUFFALO

How to prepare the grill plate for first use?

Before first use, you must dry the plates: brush with cooking oil, set thermostat to 110°C, let it heat until the indicator goes out, then wipe off excess oil.

What temperature to use for normal cooking?

A temperature between 200 and 220°C is suitable for most cooking. The thermostat is adjustable from 60 to 300°C.

How to clean the plate after use?

Let it cool, then scrape residues with a scraper or soft spatula. Clean with a damp cloth and soapy water. Never immerse the appliance or use steel wool.

What to do if the appliance does not heat?

First check that the appliance is plugged in and turned on. If the indicator does not light up, the bulb may be burned out. If the indicator lights up but the appliance does not heat, the thermostat or heating element may be defective. Contact a qualified technician.

Is the drip tray removable?

Yes, the tray can be removed for emptying and cleaning. Do not remove it during or immediately after use because its contents are hot.

Can I use metal utensils on the plate?
