Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow grill and griddle to cool thoroughly before
cleaning.

heatproof bowl.
Important: Make sure both the drip tray and the liquid inside it have cooled before
attempting to remove it.
. Inside cleaning: Place the drip tray under the front of the grilling plate. Using the
spatula, scrape off any excess fat and food particles. Wipe the cooking surfaces of the
grill and griddle with absorbent paper towels or a sponge.
. Stubborn build-up: Use a paper towel moistened with a little cooking oil to remove
stubborn stains. If necessary, use a non-metallic scrubbing pad to clean the cooking
plate and a stiff, non-metallic brush to clean between the grill ribs. Do not use steel
wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners on any part of the grill/griddle.
