Griddle
NOTES:
■ The griddle is to be used over the center
burner only.
■ Do not clean the griddle in a self-cleaning oven.
■ Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher.
■ Wash with hot, soapy water after each use
while using a sponge or dishcloth.
■ If oil or food residue is left on the griddle,
further cooking will harden the residue and
cause sticking over time. In this case, use a
non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami
® or
one of the soft scrub cleansers. Apply with
a sponge, Scrunge
® or other cleaning pad
labeled safe for non-stick pans
■ Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils
or SilverStone
® kitchen tools to prevent
marring of the coating.
■ Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.
Wash with hot, soapy water after each use.
Store carefully to prevent scratching.
Griddle Precautions:
■ If something has spilled under the griddle,
it should be cleaned up as soon as possible
to prevent “baked on” food soil.
■ Do not allow grease to accumulate under
the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean
under the griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean
with hot soapy water.
■ Do not place your griddle in the microwave.
■ Always turn off all surface burners before
removing the griddle. Use caution when
handling a hot griddle.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Protecting
STAINLESS STEEL has a reputation for
withstanding tough abuse for years. This is a
key reason why it is so popular with the food
service industry.
However, stainless steel appliances can have
surface imperfections, discolorations or
blemishes that consumers with a critical eye
notice and find unattractive in the home.
These discolorations or blemishes can be
caused by something as simple as leaving
fingerprint smudges on the stainless steel
surface overnight.
For stainless steel appliances where
blemishes are prone to show on the surface,
we recommend APPLYING A COATOF CERAMA
BRYTE
® Stainless Steel Cleaning Polish &
Conditioner (purchased separately—follow
instructions).
This will help you to maintain the brightness and
appearance of your stainless steel appliance.
Cleaning
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
■ In order to avoid any discolorations and/or
grease stains, we recommend cleaning
and removing any spills, spots and grease
from the range after use.
■ It is important to use a soft cloth or paper
towel every time the range is cleaned to
avoid any scratches.
Read carefully the instructions on the back
of the Brightener (included with your range)
for better results.
Cleaning Instructions:
Remove grates.
Wash using warm, soapy water:
Wet soft cloth or paper towel (avoid
using excessive water).
Wipe the surface in the direction of the
grain (following the steel lines).
Rinse and wring out a soft cloth or paper
towel and dry the range.
Apply a degreaser that does not contain
sodium hydroxide or Stainless Steel
Cleaner (follow instructions).
Apply Cerama Bryte ® Stainless Steel
Brightener (follow instructions).
Repeat steps 2–4 as many times as needed.
Put grates back in place.
Follow these instructions for any Stainless
Steel surface on your range.
DO NOT USE the following products for
cleaning the Cooktop or Stainless Steel parts:
• Caustic Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) or cleaners
containing this chemical
• Hard or Steel Wool Pads
• Abrasive Materials or Chemicals
