Cooktop Part / Material Suggested Cleaners Important Reminders
Griddle / Steel
• It is normal for the seasoned
surface to be dark brown.
• Never flood a hot griddle with
cold water. This can warp or
crack the steel plate.
• Do not clean any part of the
griddle in a selfcleaning oven.
• Steel will rust if it is not
seasoned.
• Season the steel with vegetable
oil as described on Page 21.
Avoid using corn or olive oil.
• To remove seasoning: Pour
vinegar and warm water on a
slightly warm griddle. Rub with
a stiff brush or pumice stone
until steel surface is visible.
Rinse with warm water; dry; re-
season.
• To clean after normal use: While
surface is slightly warm, wipe off
excess oil with paper towel.
Scrape food par ticles and
residue forward into grease tray
with a metal spatula.
• Remove the seasoning and re-
apply if there are black specks
that transfer to the food or the
seasoning builds up and
becomes gummy.
• Detergent, scouring powders
and steel wool pads remove the
seasoning.
• If rust appears, remove with Bar
Keepers Friend ® , Zud ® , or
Kleen King Rust and Stain
Remover
