CLEANING YOUR GRIDDLE TOP
Follow these simple cleaning steps to ensure optimal performance and
longevity of your Blackstone Griddle.
STEP 01
To clean griddle after
each use, cool griddle below 300° F.
Scrape food debris with spatula or
straight metal scraper.
STEP 02
Wipe down griddle
surface with paper towel.
STEP 03
Divide griddle surface
into approximately 6" sections
(width of scraper tool). Apply a
small amount of water onto first
section with a bottle and then
scrape the water and debris toward
the grease trap. Move to the next 6"
section and repeat.
DO NOT USE MORE THAN TWO
TABLESPOONS OF WATER
AT A TIME.
(For stuck-on food residue, use a bit
of coarse salt.)
STEP 04
Wipe again with a paper
towel and dry completely.
STEP 05
Apply thin coat of
cooking oil to maintain seasoning
and protect the griddle top.
!
d A n G E r
do noT
place flammable
items on side shelves
near the griddle. Aerosol
containers are particularly
hazardous because
they
can overheat and result in
an explosion, fire, severe
personal injury, or death.
!
WA r n I n G
do noT
place oily or greasy
towels near the griddle unit
as they can spontaneously
combust.
!
C AU T I o n
The grease cup must be
removed and emptied after
each use.
Do not remove the grease
cup until the griddle has
completely cooled.
FOR EVERY GRIDDLE
SURFACE
The
Blackstone Griddle
degreaser and Cleaning Spray
is
gentle enough to clean every surface
of your griddle. Use it on the griddle
top, the griddle frame, or anywhere
that experiences a build up of grease.

FIRST TIME CLEANING
Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated
with cooking oil to prevent rust and
damage during shipping. For first
time use, wash griddle with hot,
soapy water.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU
SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE
GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.
Rinse and dry completely. Proceed
with seasoning instructions. (Please
reference the Griddle Seasoning
Instructions section.)
PROTECTING YOUR
GRIDDLE TOP
Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-
tion. Always cover griddle if stored
outdoors. Choose from a variety of
griddle covers offered by Blackstone.
When protecting griddle with soft
cover, use the “tenting” method to
prevent water from accumulating
on griddle top. “Tenting” involves
placing an object (a bowl, tennis
ball or PVC pipe) beneath soft cover
in the center of griddle in order to
allow water to slide off. “Tenting”
helps prevent rust.
CUTTING ON THE
GRIDDLE TOP
Using a knife directly on the surface
of the griddle will not harm the
griddle top.
REMOVING RUST
If rust appears on the griddle surface,
rub it off with steel wool, low grit
sandpaper or the
Blackstone
Pumice Stone
and re-season
the surface.
