Maintenance And Cleaning - Krampouz GGCIM1 Instrucciones De Uso

ADVICE
In order to avoid making deep scratches on the plate, do not cut your food directly on it.
Do not leave kitchen utensils on the plancha, such as cutlery, wooden spoons, plastic utensils,
etc.
Do not cook at too high a temperature as this may char the plate and make it difficult to clean.
The plancha can be used for keeping food warm at end of cooking by adjusting the lever on
the low flame.

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.
Cleaning is performed with the plancha switched off and the power lead disconnected. It is
easier if the plancha is still lukewarm. Beware risks 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 white vinegar onto the plate to remove odours and residual 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.
THE FRAME
The ferritic stainless steel frame should be cleaned with a slightly moist sponge.
THE JUICE COLLECTION TRAY
It collects the cooking juices. It must be handled when cold, emptied and cleaned before it is
used again.
