Regular cleaning and care for your Evo Affi nity 30Gp cooktop will keep it looking and functioning its best.
The cook surface is designed to hold a fi ne layer of cooking oil creating a ‘seasoning’ on its surface. This
seasoning promotes a non-stick cooking surface and is easily maintained.
Caring for Evo’s cook surface is much like maintaining cast iron cookware. When the surface requires cleaning,
there are a few basic cleaning techniques to use. For quick and routine cleaning between preparations, a metal
spatula or scraper works for removing the majority of surface debris. For tougher areas or where sugars glaze
the cook surface, pour a small amount of vegetable oil on the soiled surface while the grill is warm and scrape the
debris away with a spatula. Heat the cook surface to a high temperature and allow the sticky debris to become
brittle. Once the debris is brittle, use the spatula or scraper to remove it. Afterwards wipe the cook surface with
vegetable oil again before cooking.
To condition the Evo cook surface you should use the grill cleaning kit supplied with your grill. The grill cleaning kit
contains a blue grill pad handle, grill cleaning screens, and grill grey polishing pads. Use the polishing pad after
the grill cleaning pads to achieve a smooth cooking surface for the most delicate foods and applications.
To use a grill cleaning screen: With a warm cook surface, place one gray polishing pad between the grill handle
base and the grill screen, so the grill screen makes direct contact with the cooking surface. Pour a small amount
of vegetable oil on the cook surface and scrub the surface in a circular motion. The gray polishing pad allows
excess oil to be absorbed and scours the cooking surface of carbonized debris. When fi nished scrubbing, wipe
the surface down with a paper towel or cotton terry cloth.
The stainless steel drip pan located just below the cook surface is designed to catch food debris and drippings
from the cook surface. We recommend cleaning the drip pan after your grill has cooled to prevent the possibility of
touching hot adjoining surfaces. The drip pan is easy to wipe out with soap and water using a kitchen sponge. For
added convenience, two removable stainless spill-over pans (ninth-pan size) are mounted inside the swing open
doors at right and left side of the front control panel for collecting drip pan debris and spill overs. These spillover
pans are easily washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Be sure to empty the spillover pans after every use, and at a
minimum, whenever they appear half full.
All the stainless steel components on your grill can be easily cleaned with soap and water and polished using
a stainless steel cleaner/polish. Stainless steel cleaner can be purchased from the Evo web site along with
replacement grill cleaning and polishing pads. The Evo web site address is: www.evoamerica.com.
