[LucyAnn]

Properly cleaning your ECG S 2070 Panini Maker is key to keeping it working well and lasting a long time. Here’s a simple guide, mirroring the manufacturer's recommendations:

1. Safety First: Always unplug your panini maker and let it cool completely before you begin cleaning. Safety is important.
2. Wipe Down the Plates: Gently wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth. You can use a bit of dish soap on the cloth, then wipe again with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. This will help get rid of crumbs and food.
3. Dealing with Stuck-On Food: If food is baked onto the plates, dampen the area with a mix of warm water and a little dish soap. Let it sit for a few minutes. You can use a plastic spatula to gently scrape away the food or place a wet paper towel on the plates to loosen it.
4. Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Never use abrasive cleaners, scrub brushes, or anything sharp that could scratch the non-stick surface of your ECG S 2070 Panini Maker.
5. Clean the Exterior: Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth. Avoid cleaning powders or scrubbers on the exterior to prevent damage.
6. No Immersing in Water: Do not put the entire panini maker in water or pour water directly onto the plates.
7. No Dishwasher: The ECG S 2070 Panini Maker is not dishwasher safe.
8. Storage: Make sure the panini maker is completely cool and dry before storing it. The power cord can be wrapped around the bottom of the appliance for convenient storage. Following these steps will help you enjoy your ECG S 2070 Panini Maker for years to come.
