Griddle/Simmer Plate
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
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.

Wok Cast Iron Burner (If applicable)
For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the electric
igniter and burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean these only when
the flame does not burn blue completely around all rings of the burner,
when there is a severe spillover or when the burner does not light, even
though the electric spark igniter sparks. Clean the burner by scraping off
burned on food soil. Use a wire, a straightened paper clip, or needle to
clean the ports. Do not use a toothpick; it could break off in the port. Be
sure the venturi tube remains dry.
Wok Pan w/Lid (If applicable)
Wash the wok after each use in hot, soapy water. Do not use harsh
abrasives or scouring pad as they can harm the protective seasoning.
Dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the inside surface
with a paper towel. Place over medium heat for 15 - 30 seconds.
Remove from heat and allow to cool. Wipe off excess oil before storing
in an inside cabinet. Do not store the wok pan and lid outdoors.
