GETTING READY FOR USE Before first use, clean the inside of the cooking pot, steaming rack, lid, and the top surface of the grilling plate with a damp cloth, then dry them. Brush the non-stick surface inside the cooking pot and the top surface of the grilling plate with a thin layer of cooking oil, then wipe with a paper towel. Before connecting the appliance to the mains, place the cooking pot (1) or the grilling plate (2) into the appliance unit, depending on the food being cooked.
