Cleaning Your Griddle - West Bend Cool Touch Manual De Instrucciones

being prepared. The signal light will go on and off periodically to indicate that
proper temperature is being maintained.
4. Foods may be prepared with or without fats. When frying, the use of a small
amount of butter, fat or oil will improve the flavor, color and crispness of foods.
When frying fatty foods such as bacon or sausage, excess grease will drain into
the grease cup attached to the griddle below the drain hole on surface of
griddle. Do not remove the grease cup during cooking. Always allow griddle
to cool completely before removing grease cup.
5. Nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber cooking tools are recommended for use on the
non-stick surface. Smooth-edged metal cooking tools may be used with care.
Do not use sharp-edged cooking tools such as forks, knives or food choppers as
scratching may occur. Minor scratching will affect only the appearance of the
finish; it will not harm its non-stick property.
6. When cooking period is completed, set the temperature control dial at WARM
for later serving, or set dial at OFF if food will be removed immediately from
griddle. After the dial is set at OFF, disconnect cord from wall outlet. Let griddle
cool before removing temperature control and grease cup.
•
A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the
release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
•
Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and
cooling – this is normal.
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 Wantz™Frypan and Grill Cleaner, Afta™Fry Pan Cleaner, Whink™Metal
Cleaner or SS-T®Metal 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.
