scratch the nonstick plates. Instead, use
only wooden or heat-proof plastic
utensils.

with the hot grill plates. This includes
the provided cleaning/scraping tool.
• In between recipes, use a wooden or
heat-proof plastic utensil to scrape
excess food buildup through grease
channels and into drip tray, then wipe
off any residue with a paper towel
before proceeding with next recipe.
• Allow the Griddler Gourmet
