This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by carelessly using a spatula. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner or the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.

CLEANING

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.

Empty and clean the grease drawer daily.

Clean the griddle regularly. A clean griddle looks better, lasts longer and performs better. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products, keep the griddle plate clean and free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to food. This results in spotty browning and loss of cooking efficiency. Worst of all, carbonized grease tends to cling to the griddled foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance.

To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow these procedures:

After Each Use

Clean the griddle with a wire brush or flexible spatula.

Once a Day

Thoroughly clean splash back, sides and front. Remove the grease drawer, empty it and wash it out in the same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.

Once a Week

Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a griddle stone, wire brush or use steel wool 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 surface of the plate should be covered with a thin film of oil to prevent rusting.

Clean stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. To remove discolorations, use a non-abrasive cleaner.

After each weekly cleaning, the griddle must be reseasoned.

If the griddle usage is very high, consider going through the "weekly" cleaning procedures more often than once a week.

Keep burner air shutter openings clean.
