Griddle
•
To remove light soiling after each use:
1 While the griddle is still hot, use a wet cloth
and square-edged spatula to clean the griddle
of grease and food particles, while pushing the
cloth with the spatula.
2 Once the griddle has cooled to
lukewarm, rub the surface lightly with
vegetable oil, then wipe thoroughly
with a heavy, coarse cloth.
•
To remove stubborn, 'baked-on' soiling:
1 Use a griddle stone following manufacturer's
instructions, taking care to avoid the griddle's
frame.
2 Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
3 Re-season the griddle following instructions in
section 'First use'.
Grease drip-pan 1 Wait until the grease drip-pan has cooled to a
safe temperature to touch, then slide it slightly
towards you and lift out. Pull the drip pan handle
toward you until it stops. Remove the dtrip pan.
2 Discard grease, then clean the drip-pan with
hot water and dishwashing liquid. The grease
drip-pan is also dishwashersafe.
3 Rinse with clean water and allow to dry.
4 Replace the clean grease drip-pan.
Important!
• Take extreme care while
cleaning a hot griddle:
wear barbecue mitts and
be careful of steam and
hot surfaces.
• Never flood the hot griddle
with cold water: this could
cause it to crack or warp.
• Do not lift the black grid-
dle frame off the rangetop.
The griddle assembly
must not be removed.
• The griddle will develop
a non-stick coating and
will darken or discolor in
patches with use: this is
normal.
• Do not use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads
as they may damage the
finish.
