Keep the installation, operating and maintenance manual in a safe place easily accessible for future reference.

7.1 PRECAUTIONS PRIOR TO OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE

• This appliance is for domestic use only.
• Disconnect from the socket in order to do any maintenance, cleaning or repair.
• Any modification, elimination, or failure to do maintenance on no matter which part increases the risk of accidents.
We recommend regular inspections.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from operating an appliance with parts that have been
modified, eliminated, or failed to maintain without the manufacturer's previous and explicit agreement.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person-
nel in order to avoid any danger.
• The appliance is designed to reach high temperatures (up to 300 ºC).
• Do not touch its sides when the plancha is in use as it may cause burnings.
• When cleaning it is important not to douse with water as it may penetrate live parts of the plancha appliance.
• We recommend pre-heating the plancha for 5 to 10 minutes in order to achieve good cooking results.

7.3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Care and maintenance has to be made with the appliance disconnected from the power supply.
CLEANING
Cleaning thoroughly after every use will guarantee perfect performance and longevity of the appliance.
It is fundamental to treat the plancha barbecue and its accessories properly as they have been manufactured with best quality
materials, which can be well maintained with products that are easily available.
It is important not to use any abrasives that may scratch the griddle surface (pads, brushes...). Clean with degreaser and soapy
water.
It is very important that no water gets into the plancha body.
There are two cleaning methods: firstly, a daily or partial one, and secondly, a total or weekly cleaning procedure. It is not ne-
cessary to use abrasive agents for either of those as there are many products readily available that dissolve grease and residues
without damaging the appliance. NEVER use a high-pressure cleaner. Our plancha appliances are made so that they can be
easily dismantled thus providing for easy storage and cleaning.
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS
The plancha body is made of stainless steel 18/10 AISI 304, which is of highest quality and longevity. Using a respective clea-
ner regularly will guarantee that it stays in perfect condition.
GRIDDLE
It is important to keep the griddle surface clean from all residues, also during use.
For this it is important to keep the griddle always covered with food and lubricants of room temperature (food oil, fat, butter
etc.). Leftovers can be pushed into the liquid tray so that the griddle surface is used in perfect condition. To finalize cleaning it
is necessary to rub an oily cloth or paper towel over the surface in order to prevent from rusting.
We recommend cleaning the plancha griddle and the liquid container with a mild cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad at
least once a week.
