3 Maintenance
3.1 Daily cleaning
It is advisable to clean the teppan yaki immediately after use. This way you avoid residue
burning into the plate and thus causing stains that may be diffi cult to remove.
Daily cleaning is best done with lemon juice and water. Pour this liquid onto the frying
area when it is still quite hot (± 65 °C). The liquid soaks off the residue so that you
can dispose of it in the dripping pan. Keep the teppan yaki switched on at a lower
temperature for a short time. After the grill plate has cooled down use some kitchen
paper to wipe away the residue and the water. You may then dry the teppan yaki with
kitchen paper or a dry towel.
3.2 Stubborn stains
Stubborn marks on a stainless steel grill plate are best removed with a solution of warm
water and washing-up liquid. You can use a cleaning agent for stainless steel to clean the
frame. Always polish in the direction of the steel structure to avoid shine spots. Never use
anything sharp like steel wool or scourers. These scourers cause scratches in the brush
structure. Scouring and polishing will cause shine spots on the frying area (this kind of
damage is not covered by the warranty).
If the above methods do not help to remove the stains, you can clean the grill plate with
a non-scratch scouring pad, which can be ordered online at www.hps.nl. Remember to
treat the entire area in order to avoid discolouring. Also, as a follow-up treat the grill
plate with a polish or maintenance agent for stainless steel. Please note that over the
years the surface will slightly discolour.
Never use aggressive abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and lime can
accumulate. But if you should use an abrasive anyway, please polish in the direction of
the fi nish.
