Hints For Care and Use of Non-Stick Surface
1. To avoid scratching the non-stick surface, do not stack objects
on the Griddle.
2. Use medium to low heat for best cooking results. Very high temperatures
can cause discoloration and shorten the life span of any non-stick surface.
If higher temperatures are necessary, preheat on medium heat for
a few minutes.
3. Use only nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils with care to avoid scratching
the non-stick surface. Never cut food on the Griddle.
4. Remove stubborn stains with a plastic scouring pad and mild dish
washing liquid; DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL.
