Maintenance and cleaning

THE PLATE
The plancha's ferritic stainless steel plate has a mirrored appearance when delivered.
Scratches and black spots appear soon during the normal course of use of the appliance.
These are caused by using different utensils and acids present in the food. This is
perfectly normal. All these scratches and spots will soon blend and the plate will have a
patina and brushed appearance which will not change any more over time. This will not
impair cooking in any way.
To clean the plancha switch it off and close the gas valve.
It is easier if the plancha is still lukewarm. Beware the risk of burns.
Use a rigid spatula to remove the bulk of the juices adhering to the cooking plate by pushing
them towards the juice collection tray.
Then thoroughly moisten the cooking plate to water down the remaining juices (using a
sponge filled with water or by dropping ice cubes on it). Leave for a few minutes.
Use the rigid spatula to remove the remaining watered down juices by pushing them towards
the juice collection tray.
Finish cleaning with an abrasive then a soft sponge.
Pour a little vinegar onto the plate to remove residual odours and flavours.
After cooking salty preparations, the cooking plate must be cleaned promptly (risk of the plate
being corroded by the salt). Do not use chlorinated products as these may also cause
corrosion.
FRAME
The ferritic stainless steel frame should be cleaned with a slightly moist sponge.
JUICE COLLECTION TRAY
It collects the cooking juices. It must be handled when cold, emptied and cleaned before it is
used again.
BURNERS
From time to time, check the condition of the flame holes on the burners and the venturis
which may become obstructed by insect nests, cobwebs or dirt.
If the flame holes are clogged, brush the branches with a hard bristle brush. To clean the
venturis, we strongly recommend that you do not use metallic objects, as they are likely to
modify the technical specifications of the burners.
We therefore recommend that you blow inside the venturi. Access to the burners and venturis
is performed by removing the appliance's bottom plate (see figure 1 and figure 2).
