Cleaning, Care &
Maintenance
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will begin to
carbonise into a hard substance that is extremely
difficult to remove. To prevent this, follow the
cleaning steps below:
• Always turn OFF the appliance and disconnect
from the power supply before cleaning.
• Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
• Use warm, soapy water and a damp cloth to
clean the exterior of the appliance.
• Take care when using scrapers to remove
cooking residues as they can damage the
cooking surface.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• An APURO dealer or qualified technician should
carry out repairs if required.
Scraping
• After each use, scrape the appliance with a
scraper/grill stone/copper brush or flexible
spatula to remove excess fat and food. A waste
tray is provided for the scrapings if necessary.
• If there is an accumulation of burned fat or
food, the cooking surface should be thoroughly
scoured and re-seasoned.
Note: It is vital that the cooking surface is
re-seasoned after scouring.
Warning: Do not use steel wool as it may
leave shards that could Contaminate food.
Waste tray
• This appliance features a waste tray to collect
any liquid or fats that run off during cooking.
• At least once a day, remove and empty the
waste tray before washing with warm, soapy
water.
• Do not allow the tray to overfill, or excess
grease will run out of the overflow hole at the
front of the tray.
Warning: Do not remove the tray during or
immediately after use as the contents will
be hot.
