GRIDDLE CARE
After using the griddle, always pour grease from the grease trays (one integrated in the
front portion of the griddle plate and one positioned below the griddle plate, in the front
part - see "GREASE TRAY" chapter).
Use a dry cloth to wipe up any accumulation and wash in hot soapy water or with an
antibacterial cleaner. The grease trays need to be cleaned after each use of the griddle:
if grease is permitted to accumulate, a fire hazard could occur.
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top effi-
ciency. If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then car-
bonize into a hard substance, which is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent this con-
dition, the following suggestions for proper cleanliness should be followed:
1 - After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or a flexible spatula to remove
excess fat and food. If there is an accumulation of burned on fat and food, the grid-
dle should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned. Use pumice or griddle stone
while the griddle is warm. Do not use steel wool because of the danger of steel sliv-
ers getting into the food.
2 - Daily, use a clean cloth and a good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel
body of the griddle.
3 - Once a week, clean the griddle surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a griddle
stone, screen or Scotch Bright pad on the surface. Rub with the grain of the metal
while the griddle is still warm. A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help
clean it, but be sure the detergent is thoroughly removed. After removal of the
detergent, the griddle must be reseasoned.
If the griddle usage is very high, consider going through the weekly cleaning pro-
cedures more often than once a week.
Never put the hot griddle into cold water. This may warp the griddle plate, pro-
ducing an uneven cooking surface.
After each cleaning, wipe the griddle surface with a light film of cooking oil to pro-
tect the finish. Do not use corn oil. Do not wash griddle in dishwasher.
WARNING. VERY IMPORTANT.
Before any operation of maintenance disconnect the appliance from the elec-
trical mains supply. Before cleaning the griddle, turn control knob to OFF and
al low griddle to cool.
