4. SPECIFIC PRODUCT INFORMATION
a) Baking plate with high quality non-stick coating
Residues are easy to remove with kitchen paper and the baking plate is easy to clean.
Follow these directions to protect the non-stick coating in the best possible way:
• Before the first use, rub in the baking plate with some heat resistant oil.
• NEVER carve in the plate with a knife or any other sharp object.
• NEVER use sharp utensils to move or to flip over the food.
• NEVER place metal pots or pans on the baking plate, as they could damage the non-stick coating of the baking
plate.
b) Grease/fluids collector
The baking plate has an integrated drainage for excess cooking grease/fluids, which are then collected in the grease
collecting tray.
