Maintenance And Cleaning - Krampouz Samba Notice D'utilisation

Advice
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 at the end of cooking to keep the food hot at temperatures
from 50 to 100 °C.

Maintenance and cleaning

Plate
It is recommended that the cooking plate is cleaned before each use.
Upon delivery, the ferritic stainless steel plate of the plancha will have a matte
appearance. Scratches and black spots will appear soon during the normal course of
use of the appliance. These are caused by using different utensils and the acids in
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.
Cleaning is performed with the plancha switched off and the power lead disconnected.
It is easier if the plancha is still lukewarm, but beware of the risk of burns.
Use a rigid spatula to remove the bulk of the juices adhering to the cooking plate by
pushing them towards the cooking waste collector.
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 cooking waste collector.
Finish cleaning with an abrasive then a soft sponge.
Pour white vinegar onto the plate to remove odours and residual flavours.
After cooking salty foods, the cooking plate must be cleaned promptly (or the plate may
become corroded by the salt). Do not use chlorinated products as these may also cause
corrosion.
Frame
The ferritic stainless steel frame should be cleaned with a slightly moist sponge.
