Drip trays, drip tray liners and drain tubes

Located beneath the cooktop are one or two drip trays. If you have a griddle or a grille there will also be a tray liner. The drip trays and liners are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are on rollers so they are easy to remove and replace.

To remove the drip tray, pull it forward.

If something has spilled into the tray, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil.

Grease from the griddle or the grille drains through the drain tubes into the tray and into the liner below.

Do not allow the grease to accumulate in the drip tray or liner as it can be a fire hazard. Clean the drip tray and liner as soon as they are cool. Clean with hot soapy water.

To clean the drain tube use a soapy bottle brush. A mild abrasive cleaner such as Bon-Ami®or Soft Scrub® can be used. For stubborn stains, use a soap-filled steel wool pad or a harsh abrasive cleaner such as Comet® or Ajax®, rubbing lightly. Rinse all parts thoroughly.

Griddle

(on some models)

Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles, using a square-edged spatula, while it is still hot.

Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth to remove any remaining residue and food particles.

Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry.

Once the griddle has cooled, rub the surface lightly with vegetable oil. Do not use corn oil or cooking sprays as they get sticky.

If the griddle is cleaned with anything other than a dry, heavy, coarse cloth, it will need to be reseasoned.

Never flood the hot griddle with cold water. This could cause the griddle to crack or warp.
