Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (vinegar, salt, lemon juice etc. ) on the barbecue surfaces. The pumice stone tray and the grill can be washed in the sink, but they are better washed in the dishwasher. After each cooking empty the residual fats from the pumice stone tray and wash it carefully. This is to prevent unpleasant smells during cooking. Every 2 or 3 cookings wash the pumice stone with running water. Clean the heating element very carefully using a dry cloth or a cloth damped just with water. Be very careful that no water penetrates inside the appliance. Do not use steam jet cleaners because the humidity could infiltrate into the appliance making it dangerous. 12 M 12 Y N C USING THE ELECTRIC FRYER AKR 027 USING THE FRYER FOR THE FIRST TIME − Remove the adhesive film which protects certain parts. − Carefully remove all the glue residues without using abrasive substances, to avoid scratching the surfaces. − Remove the basket, raise the heating element and take out the oil tray. − Wash and dry the tray and the basket carefully (better if in the dishwasher). − Put the tray back into the fryer and lower the heating element. − Fill the tray with 3 litres of water. − Switch the fryer on by turning the changeover switch knob and turn the thermostat knob to about 150oC.
