CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, always remove temperature
control before immersing griddle in water. Do not immerse temperature control, its
cord or plug in water or other liquid.
1. Clean griddle thoroughly after each use. Do not immerse griddle in cold water
when it is hot. Let griddle cool completely, then remove temperature control and
grease cup. Dispose of grease. Immerse griddle and grease cup in hot soapy
water. Wipe temperature control with a damp cloth if necessary. Wash grease cup
with dishcloth, rinse and dry.
2. Clean the non-stick surface of the griddle with hot soapy water, using a non-metal
cleaning as such as Scrunge scrubber sponge Dobie or Scotch-Brite Cookware
Scrub’n Sponge. A dishcloth or sponge may give the non-stick surface a clean
look, but will not remove the tiny good particles that can settle in the finish. Do
not use metal scouring pads or harsh scouring powders.
3. Clean the non-coated aluminum underside of the griddle with hot soapy water and
a soap-filled steel wool scouring pad. Remove stains with household cleanser.
Remove burned-on grease with a special cleanser for appliances, such as
WantzFrypan and Grill Cleaner, Afta Fry Pan Cleaner, WhinkMetal Cleaner
or SS-TMetal Cleaner.
4. After washing, rinse griddle thoroughly with hot water and dry completely,
including temperature control socket area. Replace grease cup.
5. Your griddle and grease cup (with temperature control removed) may be cleaned
in an automatic dishwasher. Clean grease cup in top rack only. The under side of
griddle will discolor due to the mineral in water and the high heat of drying cycle.
This will not affect the cooking ability of griddle. Each time griddle is cleaned in
a dishwasher; the non-stick surface should be reconditioned with cooking oil to
ensure stick-free cooking. Replace grease cup.
SPECIAL CARE:
1. A spotted white film may form on the non-stick surface. This is a buildup of
minerals from foods or water and is not a defect in the surface. To remove, soak a
soft cloth in lemon juice or vinegar and rub on finish. 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
