goes out), allow the griddle to season for 10-15 minutes and then let the griddle
cool. Some smoke may appear during this process. Wipe off excess oil using a clean,
lint-free cloth. Repeat seasoning process at least one more time. Now, your griddle is
ready for use.
Preheating
After the griddle has been properly seasoned, turn the griddle on using the ON/OFF
switch(s) (the green light(s) will be lit) and turn the temperature control knob(s) to
the desired temperature. The red light(s) will go on and stay on until the desired
temperature is reached. The red light(s) will then go out. The preheat time will vary
depending on the cooking temperature settings and the electrical specifications of
your model. It will take approximately 12-18 minutes for the griddle to reach
cooking temperature.

CLEANING
WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply before cleaning
Allow the griddle to cool before cleaning. Using a scraper or a stiff wire brush, scrape
the debris from the grill plate. To clean the griddle, scrape or brush toward you and
use the removable drip tray for the debris. Use a cloth dampened slightly with soap
and water mixture to clean the stainless steel housing, and the drip tray. Clean the
griddle thoroughly at the end of each day. Failure to do so may cause hard to
remove build up. In order to remove the build up off the grill plate, use industry
standard food service grade degreasers or grease removers. We do not recommend
using soap and water to clean the cast iron plate, however, if soap and water are
used while cleaning the plate the griddle will need to be re-seasoned (see below).
