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.

grease will run out of the overflow hole at the
front of the tray.

immediately after use as the contents will
be hot.
