Frequently Asked Questions - 264706 Hendi

How to clean the grill plate after use?

Let the appliance cool down completely. Remove the grid and drip tray and wash them by hand with a damp cloth. For stubborn residues, pour a few drops of cooking oil and let it sit for 20 minutes. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal sponges. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Never immerse the appliance in water.

What to do if the appliance does not heat up even though the green light is on?

If the green light is on but the appliance does not heat up (orange light off), the thermostat may be defective or set to 'Off'. Turn the thermostat to activate it. If the problem persists, contact the dealer as the heating element or thermostat may be defective.

Can I use the grid and drip tray in the dishwasher?

No, the grid and drip tray must be washed only by hand. The dishwasher could damage them. Wash them with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

What is the maximum temperature of the plate?

The temperature can be set up to 300 °C. The orange light turns on during heating and turns off when the desired temperature is reached.

Can the appliance be used for foods other than grilling?

The appliance is designed only for grilling, heating, keeping warm, or crisping suitable foods (sandwiches, dishes). Any other use may damage the appliance or cause injury and voids the warranty.

How to adjust the height of the cover?

The cover can be moved vertically within a range of 70 to 200 mm. Adjust the height according to the thickness of the food to prevent burning. Use the handle to lift the top panel.

What to do if the cover is stuck?

Check that no external object is blocking the movement. If not, there may be an internal mechanical defect. In that case, contact the dealer for repair.

Does the appliance need to be plugged into a grounded outlet?
