Use and Care

CARE & MAINTENANCE

(CONTINUED)

Use care when handling the grates. They are heavy and can crack if dropped on the floor or hard

surface. DO NOT clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven. Do not allow food stains or acidic food

spills to remain on the grate surfaces too long. These stains can degrade the enamel. For stubborn

stains, use light pressure with an abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.

GRIDDLE PLATE & GREASE TRAY (IF EQUIPPED)

BURN HAZARD - To prevent burns, do not touch the griddle plate or grease tray when hot. Allow

to cool completely.

NEVER flood a hot griddle plate with cold water. The steam could cause serious burns. The sudden

temperature change could also distort the metal surfaces resulting in permanant warpage of the

plate. DO NOT clean the griddle plate in a self-cleaning oven.

The griddle plate can be removed for cleaning by hand using warm soapy water. For more difficult

residues, you can rub coarse salt on the plate, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. The grease

tray has a non-stick coating which may be cleaned by hand using warm soapy water, or it may be

cleaned in the dishwasher. Do not use sharp objects or scrapers, as this may gouge the surfaces.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

Do not allow food stains or salt to remain in contact with stainless steel surfaces too long. All

stainless steel exterior surfaces may be cleaned with warm soapy water, or any number of

commercial stainless steel cleaners. Check to make sure the cleaners do not contain chlorine or

chlorine compounds as these are corrosive to stainless steel. Rinse thoroughly.

SUGGESTED CLEANERS:

Hot water & mild detergent

Fantastik

ALWAYS clean stainless steel in the direction of the grain with light pressure.

If your Hestan appliance has colored panels, use warm soapy water ONLY. Rinse and dry

thoroughly.

Wait until the appliance is completely cool before using any aerosol-type cleaners. Many of these

cleaners use flammable propellants which could ignite in the presence of heat.
