Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, remove the heat control and wash the griddle (including the bottom) in warm, soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly
Clean the nonstick surface with a nylon mesh scouring pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, or a damp cloth. Firm
pressure can be applied. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners. Do not immerse the Control Master
®
heat control in
water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
NOTICE: Do not wash the griddle in the dishwasher. Repeated washings in a dishwasher will cause the nonstick properties of
the ceramic coating to slowly diminish. In addition, the bottom of the griddle will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the
dishwasher detergent and a gray residue may form which may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
Soaking the griddle to loosen food residue is not necessary. If soaking is desired, do not soak for more than two hours as this may
damage the ceramic coating.
In time, the ceramic coating may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. To minimize or remove this
discoloration, sprinkle baking soda over the discolored area. Add enough water to make a paste. Allow the paste to sit for several
minutes and then scour with a nylon mesh scouring pad or a damp cloth. Wash and dry thoroughly. Repeat the procedure, if necessary.
Periodically check the screws on the griddle frames and legs for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted screwdriver
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in the stripping of screws or the cracking of frame.
IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master
®
heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
