• Use warm, soapy water and a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the appliance.

• Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• A 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.

re-seasoned. .
Waste Tray
These appliances feature 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
