Care and Cleaning
After each use, remove heat control and wash the griddle in warm, soapy water. Make sure to also clean the underside, as necessary.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
The nonstick cooking surface may be cleaned with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge or
Scotch-Brite* Dobie* Cleaning Pad. Firm pressure can be applied.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners. Do not immerse Control Master
®
heat control in water or let it come in contact
with any liquid.
NOTICE:
If you choose to wash the griddle in the dishwasher, the bottom of the griddle will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of
the dishwasher detergent. A gray residue may also form on the griddle bottom which may transfer to towels or to skin.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. This discoloration can be removed
by dissolving one tablespoon of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent in one cup of hot water.
Slide the drip tray into place. Preheat the griddle to 225°. Wearing rubber gloves, dip the cleaning pad into cleaning solution and rub
over the cooking surface, being careful gloves do not come in contact with the hot cooking surface. Continue cleaning until the solution
is gone. Turn the griddle off and allow to cool. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry. After treating the griddle, it is
recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with vegetable oil before using.
Periodically check the screws on the griddle frames for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted screwdriver.
NOTICE:
Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of frames.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master
®
heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
