After use, ensure the unit is unplugged and allowed to cool completely before cleaning the plates with a soft, damp cloth.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have sufficient counter space for the 505 mm depth of the unit.
• Verify that your kitchen power supply matches the 220-240V requirement.
• Consider the frequency of use to determine if the 1200W power level meets your cooking speed expectations.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, always preheat the grill for several minutes before adding food. Avoid using metal utensils on the cooking surfaces to prevent scratching the finish, and clean the plates while they are still slightly warm to make the removal of food residue easier.
