CARE AND MAINTENANCE                                               

CLEANING AND CARE

•  

Griddles are remarkably easy to keep clean. A�er you’ve completed your first cook you’ll want to spray 

down the hot surface with water and scrape debris away and into the grease cups. The steam from the 

water on the hot surface will help release tough debris.

•  

Scrape the residue down into the grease cups.

•  

Turn the griddle off and let the surface cool. While it cools you’ll want to remove and clean out the grease 

cups. Do this each cooking session for cleanliness.

•  

When the surface is cool, apply a thin layer of oil over the surface to maintain your seasoning. Then you’ll 

want to store in a cool dry place. If you’re storing outside cover the griddle to prevent water collec�ng on 

the surface.

•  

Even if your surface does start to rust all hope is not lost. Griddles are very resilient and with a li�le work 

you can get it back to new. Simply use a steel scouring pad to remove all rust from the surface. Then go 

through the seasoning steps again. This will recondi�on the griddle and you’ll be back to cooking again in 

no �me.
