Before you start cooking, clean the grates with a delicate and wet cloth to make cooking surfaces capable of distributing heat evenly.

It is believed that the food particles that turn hard and stick on the grill plates can be removed by setting the excessively high temperature for around 10 minutes immediately after cooking to remove all grime.

Before you move on with further cleaning, let the cooking surface cool down.
