Frequently Asked Questions - 4585FL Flama

How to clean the plates of the Flama 4585FL?

Let the appliance cool for at least 30 minutes. Press the release button to remove the plates. Wash them in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. The drip tray can be removed from the back and washed the same way. Do not use metal utensils to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.

What to do if the display shows 'OFF'?

'OFF' indicates the appliance is in standby. Plug in the appliance, then select a cooking function (upper plate, lower plate, or both) by pressing the corresponding button. Set the temperature and time, then press START to begin preheating.

How to use both sides of the plates?

The plates have two sides: one ridged and one smooth. Before inserting them, choose the desired side. Make sure they are properly locked in place. Use the handle to open/close the upper plate. For open cooking position (180°), wait until preheating is finished and the indicator is green.

What is the maximum temperature of the plate?

The maximum temperature is 230 °C when both plates are used, and 220 °C for a single plate. The adjustable range is from 80 °C to these maximums. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the temperature.

The timer is not working, what to do?

Check that you have pressed START after preheating. The countdown starts after placing the food and pressing START a second time. If you do not press within 15 seconds, the appliance goes into standby. Also make sure the set time is greater than zero.

Can I use metal utensils on the plates?

No, never use metal utensils as they can damage the non-stick coating. Prefer wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils.

How to switch between °C and °F?

When the appliance is in standby mode (screen shows 'OFF'), press both the temperature increase and decrease buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The unit then changes from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa.

What does the light indicator mean?

The operation indicator changes color: blue during preheating, green when preheating is complete, yellow during cooking, and red at the end of the set time.

Is the 36-month warranty valid everywhere?

The 36-month warranty is valid according to the conditions of the European directive in force at the date of purchase. You must keep the proof of purchase (receipt). It covers material and manufacturing defects, but not consumable parts, bulbs, or damages due to incorrect use.

How to position the upper plate in the open position?

After preheating (green indicator), use the handle to lift the upper plate. With an oven mitt, press on the plate to position it at handle height, then lower it completely using the handle. Caution: the plate is very hot.
