Ceramic Warming Zone
Daily Care
First of all, be sure that the heat indicator light is o and that
the warming zone surface is cool.
Apply a small dab of ceramic cleaning cream in the centre
of the area to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel and
work the cream onto the surface. As a nal step, wipe the
surface with a clean, dry paper towel.
Cleaning Spills
Turn o the unit and wipe the area surrounding the warming
zone with a clean paper towel. If a spill (other than a sugary
substance) is on the warming zone, do not clean until the
warming zone has completely cooled down, and then follow
the instructions below, ‘Cleaning Burned-on Spills’.
If you accidentally melt anything on the surface or if you spill
foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce,
fruit juice, etc), remove the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor
scraper, while the unit is still hot.
IMPORTANT: Use an oven glove to protect your hand from
potential burns.
Scrape the major spill or melted material from the warming
zone and push into a cold area. Then, turn the unit ‘OFF’ and
allow to cool before cleaning further. After the surface cools
down and the heat indicator lights go o, follow the ‘Daily
Care’ procedure outlined above.
Cleaning Burned-on Spills
Make sure that the heat indicator lights are o and that
the warming zone is cool. Remove the excess burned-on
substance with a single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper
at an angle of about 30° to the surface and then scrape o the
burned-on matter (Fig.5-5).
Once you have removed as much as possible with the scraper,
follow the ‘Daily Care’ procedure outlined above.
To Remove Metal Rub-off
Sliding pans on the warming zone – especially aluminium or
copper pans – can leave marks on the ceramic surface. These
marks often appear like scratches, but can easily be removed
(see ‘Cleaning Spills’). If the rub-o marks are especially
stubborn, use a cleaning cream together with the razor.
The Griddle
Always clean the griddle after use. Allow it to cool completely
before removing. Immerse the griddle plate in hot soapy
water. Use a soft cloth or, for stubborn stains, a nylon washing
up brush.
Note: If the griddle is washed in a dishwasher then some
dishwasher residue may appear on the back. This is normal
and will not aect the performance of your griddle.
