Removing and cleaning the drip tray: we recommend first cleaning the cooking run off from the detachable drip tray. Always do this when SpaceGrill is open in horizontal cooking mode (Diagram 1 below). The tray is removed by holding the topside edge of the drip tray and flexing outwards so the pivoting lugs are removed from the tray. Once cleaned the drip tray is returned by positioning the pivoting hole above the pivoting lugs, flexing the top edge and then easing the side wall of the tray so that the lug sits in the pivoting hold.
Wiping down and cleaning the cookbox: the shallow cookbox is straightforward to wipe down once the ceramic coated hotplates have been removed (Diagram 2 – see General Care & Maintenance FAQs below for how to clean those). For stubborn residue that a mild soap and water solution cannot remove, we would advise a specialised barbecue cleaner to clean the cookbox, of which there are many on the market (see under General Care & Maintenance for separate instructions on cleaning and maintaining). Any cleaning runoff will simply collect in the detachable tray, which is easily disposed of by removing the tray. (To accelerate the collection of cleaning runoff, SpaceGrill can be lowered briefly into the vertical storage position).
