Clean greasy parts with a household grease solvent such as household
ammonia and water. If necessary, a soap filled steel wool pad can be
used on the grill frame shield, grill burner, and grill heat deflector.
After using the grill, always remove the drip pan located below it by
pulling the drip pan toward you. The drip pan needs to be cleaned after
each use of the griddle. Cooked-off grease will drain from the griddle
through the drain tube and accumulate in the drip pan. Wash in hot
soapy water or with an antibacterial cleaner. The drip pan needs to be
cleaned after each use. If grease is permitted to accumulate, fire hazard
could occur, since the grill burners are directly above the pan.

1. After using the griddle, always remove the drip pan located below it
by pulling the drip pan toward you. The drip pan needs to be
cleaned after each use of the griddle. Cooked-off grease will drain
from the griddle through the drain tube and accumulate in the drip
pan. Wash in hot soapy water or with an antibacterial cleaner. The
drip pan needs to be cleaned after each use. If grease is permitted
to accumulate, fire hazard could occur, since the griddle burners are
directly above the pan.
2. Rub the surface of a hot griddle with unsalted solid shortening,
vegetable oil or spray it with a non-stick cooking spray. Thoroughly
wipe it with a burlap or another rough cloth to remove food
particles and other residue.
3. Stubborn spots may be removed by rubbing the surface with a
rough grained nylon scrubbing pad with cooking oil. If necessary,
flush the surface of a warm griddle (200°F/93°C) with club soda and
wipe over entire surface with a paper towel. Coat lightly with
cooking oil.
4. Special griddle cleaners are commercially available which may be
used to remove heavy soil build-up. Follow manufacturer’s directions
exactly. Rinse the griddle with room temperature club soda after
using these cleaners. Dry and coat lightly with cooking oil. Use
griddle stones only when absolutely necessary and then with
extreme caution. Wipe away any griddle-stone dust and food
particles and coat lightly with cooking oil.
5. Using hot soapy water to clean the griddle will remove the cooked-
in seasoning and will require re-seasoning by coating lightly with
cooking oil.
6. Never flood a hot griddle with cold water! This promotes griddle
warping and can cause the griddle plate to crack if continued over a
period of time.
Grill (If applicable)
The grill grate may be cleaned immediately after cooking is complete
and before turning off the flame. Wearing a barbecue mitt to protect
your hand from heat, use a soft bristle barbecue brush to scrub the grill
grate. Dip the brush frequently in a bowl of water. Steam is created as
the water contacts the hot grate. The steam assists the cleaning process
by softening the food particles. For thorough cleaning of the grill grate,
soak 15 to 30 minutes in a hot water and detergent solution. After
soaking, scrub with a soft scotch brite pad. DO NOT USE a steel wool
pad or abrasive cleaners. They could damage the porcelain finish.
