CARE & CLEANING

for your Breville

Thermal Pro Stainless

™

CARE & CLEANING

CARE

• Do not leave plastic cooking utensils in

contact with the hot frypan surface while
cooking.

• Before cleaning, switch the frypan to the

large dot and unplug from the power
outlet. Remove the temperature control
probe when cooled from the probe
socket of the appliance.

CLEANING

Stainless steel cooking surface

The high quality 18/10 stainless steel
cooking surface is designed for durability.
To keep your stainless steel cooking surface
in optimum condition and to achieve the
best results, follow these simple instructions:

• Use sufficient oil when sautéing, pan

frying and roasting to prevent food
sticking. Two to three tablespoons is
generally sufficient.

• Do not use high temperatures to brown

and seal meat as this will cause it to
stick. Use settings 10-14.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or

metal scourer pads as continued use
will scratch the stainless steel surface
and make subsequent cleaning more
difficult. It is recommended to use nylon
scrubbing brushes or plastic scouring
pads.

• To remove burnt on food, fill the pan

with approx 1" of water, heat the water
in the pan till it boils, then turn off and
leave to soak for 30 minutes. If burnt on
food does not soften and lift off, leave
frypan with water in it to soak overnight.
Removing stubborn stains: A stainless
steel powder cleaner can be used on
stubborn stains on the stainless steel
cooking surface only. Alternatively, a
paste of bicarbonate of soda and water
can be rubbed into the stained area and
then thoroughly washed off.

NOTE

It is recommended that the cooking
surface be re-seasoned after cleaning.

GLASS LID

Wash the lid in warm soapy water using a
soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly.

NOTE

Take care when the glass lid is hot. Do
not place hot lid under cold water or
on cold surfaces. This may cause the
lid to break.

DISHWASHER SAFE

The lid and cooking pan, are dishwasher
safe for easy cleaning. The recessed heating
element is completely sealed so it is safe to
immerse in water. The frypan may also be
washed in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.

NOTE

Before inserting the temperature
control probe into the frypan socket,
ensure the interior of the frypan
socket is fully dry. To do this, shake
out excess water then wipe the
interior of the socket with a dry cloth.
