Cleaning And Maintenance; Tips And Notes - Rommelsbacher RCS 1350 Bedienungsanleitung

Cleaning and maintenance

• Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance and let all parts
cool down!
• Never immerse base unit, power cord and mains plug in water
or clean them under running water!
NOTE: Do not put reversible grill plates and natural stone grill plate in the dishwasher, because dishwasher
salt might damage the coating resp. surface of the plates.
• Wipe off the still warm natural stone grill plate with kitchen paper to remove residual grease and oil. After
that, wipe with a damp cloth.
• Clean grill plates, pans and spatulas in lukewarm water with some hand dishwashing detergent.
• Soak substantial soiling with some oil first.
• Wipe off the heating element only with a damp cloth.
• Make sure no water or steam also from below may enter the appliance.
• Never use abrasives and solvents or sharp objects!
• Never use steel wool or abrasive pads!
• Never use oven sprays!
• Never treat the appliance and accessory parts with a steam cleaner!

Tips and notes

• When using the grill plates for the first time, coat them with some oil first. Subsequent no more grease is
needed.
• Make sure the foods do not touch the heating element as otherwise the food might burn!
• Only season cheese after melting as spices burn at high temperatures and generate unpleasant smoke as
well as an unpleasant taste.
• If possible, the grillings should be taken out of the fridge ½ hour before you start grilling. Thus it roasts
faster and you avoid that thicker meat stays cold at the inside.
• Slightly apply oil to lean meat before grilling. The best results are achieved with small and tender pieces of
meat. Do not pierce the meat when turning, so that no juice is lost.
• For achieving a beautiful browning, sear the meat shortly. The meat is well-done when the escaping meat
juice is clear.
• Spices and marinades can develop smoke if grilled. To avoid this you may use non-seasoned resp. non-
marinated meat and rather offer seasoning mixtures and barbecue sauces after preparation of the meat.
• Salt the meat after grilling, otherwise too much meat juice will be lost.
• Sausages will be pierced already before grilling so they do not burst.
• As side dishes, we recommend crispy bread, fresh salads and cooked potatoes.
