CLEANING YOUR GRIDDLE
1. Clean the griddle thoroughly after each use. Do not immerse the griddle in cold
water when it is hot. Let the griddle cool completely, then remove the
temperature control and grease cup. Dispose of the grease. Immerse the
griddle and grease cup in warm, soapy water. Wipe the temperature control
with a damp cloth if necessary. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Clean the non-stick surface of the griddle with warm, soapy water, using a non-
metal cleansing pad. Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh scouring
powders.
3. Clean the non-coated aluminum underside of the griddle with warm, soapy
water and a soap-filled steel wool scouring pad. Remove stains with a
household cleanser.
4. After washing, rinse the griddle thoroughly with warm water and dry completely,
including the temperature control socket area. Replace the grease cup.
5. Your griddle and grease cup, with temperature control removed, may be
cleaned in an automatic dishwasher. Clean the grease cup in the top rack only.
The underside of the griddle will discolor due to the minerals in the water and
the high heat of the drying cycle. This will not affect the cooking ability of the
griddle. Each time the griddle is cleaned in a dishwasher, the non-stick surface
should be reconditioned with cooking oil to ensure stick-free cooking. Replace
the grease cup.
SPECIAL CARE:
1. A spotted white film may form on the non-stick surface. This is a buildup of
minerals from food or water and is not a defect in the surface. To remove, soak
a soft cloth in lemon juice or vinegar and rub on the cool surface. Wash the
non-stick surface thoroughly, rinse and dry. Recondition the non-stick surface
with cooking oil.
2. The non-stick surface may also become stained from improper cleaning or
overheating. To remove stains, clean the non-stick surface by the following
method. Combine 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of ONE of the following
cleaners: Dip-It® coffee pot destainer, automatic dishwasher detergent or dry
oxygen bleach crystals. USE ONLY ONE OF THE ABOVE CLEANERS; DO
NOT COMBINE. Make sure the grease cup is in place. Preheat the griddle to
225°F (107°C). Wearing rubber gloves dip the sponge into the water mixture
and wipe over the surface.
Continue the cleaning procedure until the mixture is gone. Turn griddle to “OFF”
and allow to cool. Remove the temperature control and grease cup. Scour the
non-stick surface of the griddle with warm, soapy water and a non-metal
scouring pad. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wash the grease cup in warm, soapy
water and dry. Slide the grease cup back into the griddle. Recondition the non-
stick surface with cooking oil before using.
