What type of cookware can I use?

How often should I clean the grease filter?
Clean the grease filter regularly, as per the manufacturer's instructions, usually after every few uses. The frequency depends on your cooking habits.

The residual heat indicators light up to show that the cooking zone is still hot after use, to prevent accidental burns. Do not touch the cooking zone until the indicator turns off.
