• DO NOT - Use grill cleaners on the platen.
Life of the non-stick coating of the platen will vary depending upon the product cooked and the cooking
temperature, but its life can be extended by frequent cleaning and by using care not to scratch the
surface.
When sticking of product eventually occurs and cannot be eliminated by thorough cleaning with a soft
cloth and water, it will be necessary to replace the platen surface (see MAINTENANCE).
Care of the Stainless Steel Housing
The outside stainless steel portion of the platen can be cleaned with a mild detergent and stainless steel
polish.
