Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, remove the heat control and wash the griddle in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry
thoroughly. Make sure to also clean the underside, as necessary. Clean the nonstick surface with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as
Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge or Scotch-Brite* Dobie* Cleaning Pad. Firm pressure can be applied, if necessary.
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: To maintain the appearance of your griddle, do not wash in the dishwasher. The decorative trim and the bottom of the griddle
may discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent and a gray residue may form and then transfer onto towels 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 nonstick finish on the griddle.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. This discoloration can be removed
by using a solution of one tablespoon of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent per one cup of hot water.
Slide the drip tray into place. Preheat griddle to 225°. Wearing rubber gloves, dip cleaning pad into cleaning solution and rub over the
cooking surface, being careful not to get it on the decorative trim. Continue cleaning until the solution is gone. Turn the griddle off and
allow to cool. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water and dry. After cleaning the griddle in this manner, it is recommended that the
cooking surface be wiped lightly with vegetable oil before using again.
Periodically check the screws on the griddle frames for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted screwdriver.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of frames.
Important: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master
®
heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
