Care and cleaning
What? How?
Important!
Cooktop parts
Griddle
To remove light soiling after each use:
1
While the griddle is still hot, use a
square-edged spatula or brass brush
to clean the griddle of grease and food
particles.
2
Once the griddle has cooled to
lukewarm, rub the surface lightly with
vegetable oil, then wipe thoroughly
with a heavy, coarse cloth.
To remove stubborn, ‘baked-on’
soiling:
1
Use a griddle stone following
manufacturer’s instructions, taking care
to avoid the griddle’s black frame.
2
Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and
dry.
3
Re-season the griddle following
instructions in section ‘First use’.
Take extreme care while
cleaning a hot griddle:
wear barbecue mitts and
be careful of steam and hot
surfaces.
Never flood the hot griddle
with cold water: this could
cause it to crack or warp.
Do not lift the black griddle
frame off the cooktop. The
griddle assembly must not be
removed.
The griddle will develop a
non-stick coating and will
darken or discolor in patches
with use: this is normal.
Grease drip-pan
1
Wait until the grease drip-pan has
cooled to a safe temperature to touch,
then slide it slightly towards you and lift
out.
2
Discard grease, then clean the drip-pan
with hot water and dishwashing liquid.
The grease drip-pan is also dishwasher-
safe.
3
Rinse with clean water and allow to dry.
4
Replace the clean grease drip-pan.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or
scouring pads as they may
damage the coating.
Black frame of
grill and griddle
1
Soften any stubborn stains under a hot
soapy cloth.
2
Clean with a solution of mild detergent
and hot water, then wipe dry with a
microfiber cloth.
Do not lift the frame off the
cooktop.
Do not use abrasive cleaners
or scouring pads as they may
damage the coating.
Wok ring (not
supplied,
purchased
separately)
1
To remove stubborn stains, soak
the wok ring in a mixture of clothes
washing detergent and water.
2
Wash in a mixture of hot water and
dishwashing liquid, then rinse and allow
to dry.
The wok ring is also dishwasher-safe.
