General Care & Cleaning

Cleaning Your Cooktop

Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. REMOVE

SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE DIFFICULTY

AND EXTENT OF A MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

Surfaces How to Clean

Painted and Plastic

Control Knobs, Body Parts, and

Decorative Trim

For general cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth. For more diﬃ cult soils and

built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to

60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of

these materials; they can scratch or dull the ﬁ nish.

Stainless Steel, Chrome parts

Decorative Trim Cooktop

Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and cloth. Do

not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh

scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning

stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners oﬀ from the surface as bluish stains

may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Always place the griddle on the cooktop before

turning on the element.

Always use potholders to remove the griddle

from the cooktop. Allow the griddle to cool before removing.

Do not set hot griddle on surfaces that cannot withstand high

heat such as countertops.

Be sure the griddle is positioned correctly and is

stable before use to prevent hot spills and possible burns.

About using the Griddle

Before ﬁ rst use:

• Wash Griddle in

hot soapy water.

Rinse and then dry

completely.

• Apply a thin coat of

vegetable oil to the

entire surface (front

and back of griddle).

• Preheat your oven

to 350°F. Place the

griddle on the upper

rack in your oven.

• Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and

let cool before removing.

• The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from

this seasoning process. If desired, wash the griddle in hot

soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.

After each use:

• To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep

uncovered.

• After each use, clean with a stiﬀ brush and hot water only.

• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.

• Dry immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable

oil to griddle before storing.

Make sure the feet of the griddle

are not directly on the burners.

Setting Surface Controls

Using the Griddle:

• Center the griddle over the left side elements. Make sure

the feet of the griddle are not directly on the burners.

• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium

low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution

during the cooking process.

• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating

on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat

distribution.
