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. 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 removable tray for collecting cooking residues.
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 removable tray for collecting cooking residues.
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.
Removable tray for collecting cooking residues
It collects the cooking residues. It must be handled when cold, emptied and cleaned
before it is used again.
Storage
Store your plancha in a dry and safe location where it will not be damaged.
