topped with Chantilly cream or a delicious homemade jam.
5. ADVICE FROM CHEFS
• To preserve the non-stick quality of the cooking plates, do not let
them remain heated and not in use for too long and do not use
abrasives to clean.
• Use wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils to turn your food and
avoid cutting it on the plates.
• Cut the food evenly to obtain even cooking.
• With practice, you will become accustomed to the cooking times
and settings necessary to cook food to taste.
• Prepare spice-based marinades or condiments for your meat or
fish; grilled foods will be fragrant and plancha-cooked foods more
tender.
• If you grilled fish or shellfish on the plates, rub a little lemon juice
on them with a cloth, this will prevent the characteristic odour from
remaining on the plates the next time you use them.
6. CLEANING AND STORAGE
• When you have finished cooking, turn the button to “O” and unplug
the appliance. Allow the appliance to cool completely (minimum
1/2 hour) before cleaning it.
• Use the cleaning tool to remove food residues that remain on the
cooking plates.
• Discard fat that has run into the drip tray.
• Remove the plates from the appliance by pressing the ejection
buttons.
• The cleaning tool, drip tray and plates can be washed in hot, soapy
water or in the dishwasher.
• Do not use metal objects such as a knife or fork, or abrasive sponges
or cleaning products that could damage the coating.
• To clean the housing, lid and handle of the appliance, use a damp
cloth and a little soft detergent. Do not use abrasive sponges or
products.
• Cleaning the appliance regularly prevents substantial build-up.
The Griddler remains easy to clean and it will continue to perform
properly.
• Before storing your grill, put the plates and the drip tray back
in position, close the lid then wind the cable around the hooks
intended for this purpose.
