Cleaning and Maintenance
Your new griddle has been designed and manufactured to high quality standards. It will provide you with many
years of fun grilling time, however, it requires a minimal amount of maintenance.
Clean griddle often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the griddle cooking
surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling.
1. Do not clean any part of your griddle in a self-cleaning oven.
2. Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive kitchen cleaners, cleaners that contain citrus products, or mineral spirits.
3. Clean your griddle regularly to prevent grease buildup, grease fires or excessive flare-ups.
4. Always allow the griddle to cool down prior to cleaning.
!
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect in the bottom of the firebox.
COOKING GRIDDLE
Most foods can be cleaned up by scraping and wiping down the cooking griddle with a paper towel or wet soft cloth.
To remove tough food residue, you can use a mild cream cleaner and pad. You can also use soapy water or a
paper towel and 1/4 cup of table salt as another method to clean your griddle. Rinse well and dry it.
STAINLESS STEEL
Clean with multipurpose, low-abrasion, non-phosphorous metal or stainless steel polish and a soft cloth. Always
polish in the direction of the finish. Do not allow grease and dirt to accumulate. In addition, several products and
naturally occurring substances can damage all stainless steel finishes. These include, but are not limited to,
swimming pool chemicals (chlorine and bromine), lawn and garden fertilizers, ice-melting products, sea or other
salt water, urine, bird droppings, and tree sap. Upon contact with these substances, immediately wash and dry
the stainless steel surface and be careful to avoid burns.
OTHER EXTERIOR SURFACES
Wash with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. You can use a cloth, soft brush (non-metallic), or plastic
cleaning pad. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
GREASE CUP
Check after each use. Remove and empty the grease cup when half full. It can be washed with warm water and
mild dishwashing detergent.
BURNERS
We recommend you clean your burners at least twice a year, or before use if the griddle has not been used in over
one month.
