To maintain your raclette machine and prolong its life, here are some tips:

Before you start cleaning, make sure the appliance is unplugged and completely cooled down.

Dismantle the various parts of the appliance, such as the raclette trays, spatulas and pans, according to the instructions in the manual.

Clean the raclette trays and spatulas with lukewarm water and a little mild soap. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the non-stick surface.

The pans can be cleaned with a soft sponge and a little soap. If cheese residues are stuck, you can soak them in warm water for a few minutes before washing them.

Wipe all parts with a clean, dry cloth.

Make sure that all parts are completely dry before reassembling and storing the appliance.

If your appliance has a grease trap, empty it regularly and clean it to prevent residue build-up.

Store the appliance in a clean, dry place, away from moisture.

Once completely cooled, simply gently remove the trays and discard the contents.
Remove any leftover food from the trays using the scraper.
Clean the plates, drain trays and scraper in warm water with soap, rinse and allow to dry. These items can also be washed in an automatic dishwasher.
WARNING: Do not immerse the grill base in water or any other liquid and do not get it wet.
Wipe the top and base with a sponge soaked in water and dry with a soft cloth.
Store the unit in a cool, dry place.

Yes, the stone can change color with use due to grease and heat. These color variations are normal and do not affect the stone's efficiency or performance.

When you first use your raclette appliance, it is possible that the heating element gives off a smoky smell. This is often due to a protective layer of oil applied to the heating elements during the manufacture of the appliance. This smell is normal and should disappear after a few uses. Make sure the room is well ventilated during this period.

When using the grill plates for the first time, spray or apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the non-stick surfaces of the plates. If necessary, reapply a thin layer of cooking oil for the lifespan of the plates to maintain the non-stick properties.

When first used, the appliance may produce a slight smoke. This is normal and will disappear after some time.
