FIRST TIME CLEANING
Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated
with cooking oil to prevent rust and
damage during shipping. For rst
time use, wash griddle with hot,
soapy water.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU
SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE
GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.
Rinse and dry completely. Proceed
with seasoning instructions. (Please
reference the Griddle Seasoning
Instructions section.)
PROTECTING YOUR
GRIDDLE TOP
Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-
tion. Always cover griddle if stored
outdoors. Choose from a variety of
griddle covers oered by Blackstone.
When protecting griddle with so
cover, use the “tenting” method to
prevent water from accumulating
on griddle top. “Tenting” involves
placing an object (a bowl, tennis
ball or PVC pipe) beneath so cover
in the center of griddle in order to
allow water to slide o. “Tenting”
helps prevent rust.
CUTTING ON THE
GRIDDLE TOP
Using a knife directly on the surface
of the griddle will not harm the
griddle top.
REMOVING RUST
If rust appears on the griddle surface,
rub it o with steel wool, low grit
sandpaper or the Blackstone
Pumice Stone and re-season
the surface.
! WARNING
NEVER APPLY COLD
WATER ACROSS THE
WHOLE SURFACE OF A
HOT GRIDDLE AT ONCE.
This may cause warping.
Adding a large amount
of cold or frozen food (or
food with significant water
content) to a hot griddle may
cause griddle to warp.
! CAUTION
DO NOT USE SOAP ON
THE GRIDDLE COOKING
SURFACE. This will destroy
the griddle’s seasoning.
