Griddle/Simmer Plate Clean Up & Care
• It is not necessary to wash the griddle after every use. When light cooking is performed and AFTER the griddle has
cooled, simply wipe down the surface with a clean cloth or paper towel. The oils in the food which cooked on the griddle
surface will naturally season the griddle providing a “natural” non-stick surface.
• After heavy cooking is completed and the griddle is still warm enough to create steam, pour a small amount of club soda at
room temperature directly on the griddle. Using a metal spatula, pull oils and food particles toward the trough in front.
Wipe entire surface with a paper towel. Follow with the seasoning process of applying oil.
• Keeping the griddle well-seasoned will prevent the griddle from developing surface rust. If the griddle is not used for a
period of time, it must be re-seasoned. The griddle must be re-seasoned each time after it is washed.
• Non-stick cooking spray is not recommended as it contains a high water content that has a tendency to burn quickly.
• Corn oil is not recommended as it has a high sugar level. It will caramelize and burn on the surface making it very difficult
to remove.
• After using the griddle, always remove the grease trough located in the front. Simply pull the trough towards you and lift
out. The trough or tray trap needs to be cleaned after each use. A fire hazard may occur if grease is accumulated in the
trough.
Note: It is normal for the griddle to darken over time. This is the sign of a well-seasoned
griddle.
• IMPORTANT: NEVER flood a hot griddle with cold water. This thermal shock promotes
griddle warping and can cause the griddle to crack if continued over a period of time.
• For heavy duty cleaning, Viking offers a Griddle Cleaning Kit (model #GCK). This fast and
effective commercial grade cleaning system will clean your griddle in a matter of minutes.
