Care and Cleaning

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash griddle in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Master heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.

For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.

After each use, clean the nonstick surface 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, if necessary. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners.

In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element. To remove this discoloration, use a commercial cleaner designed for cleaning surfaces, such as dip-it†destainer. These cleaners are available at most grocery and hardware stores. Slide drip tray into place. Preheat griddle to 225°. Combine 1 cup of hot water and 1 tablespoon of commercial cleaner. Wearing rubber gloves, dip cleaning pad into cleaning solution and rub over cooking surface, being careful so gloves do not contact hot cooking surface. Continue cleaning until solution is gone. Turn griddle off and allow to cool. Wash griddle in hot, soapy water and dry.

Some discoloration may occur inside the griddle drip tray. This is normal. The amount of discoloration will vary depending on the foods cooked and the temperature setting used. This discoloration is only visible from the inside of the drip tray and will not affect the performance of the griddle.
