Drip trays,
drip tray
liners and
drain tubes
The drip tray or trays (depending on model)
are located under the cooktop. 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
as it gets 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.
