Cleaning Your Appliance
Caution: Always allow the BLAZE GRIDDLE to cool before cleaning. Never place your
fingers inside the observation openings in the griddle plate during removal or
replacement of the griddle plate as they could be pinched. Never place your fingers inside
the observation openings in the griddle at any time as injury could occur.
NOTE: You should clean your appliance after each use to maintain the overall appearance over the life of your
appliance. After the first use, it is normal for your appliance to become discolored in certain areas from the heat
produced by the burners.
Exterior Cleaning
When cleaning your appliance, always scrub and polish in the direction of the stainless steel grain. Wipe down
the
exterior of the appliance to remove any splatter or grease. Do not use harsh abrasives. Use a stainless
steel
cleaner to clean the exterior surface for a polished look. To remove baked-on foods, use a fine to medium
grit non-
metallic abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner to avoid specks of grease collecting in the grain
causing the
appearance of rust.
Griddle Plate Cleaning
· After every use and when cool, you can thoroughly wipe the plate with the grain using a rough cloth to remove food
particles and other cooking residue.
· You may use a mixed solution of water and vinegar (2 tablespoons of vinegar per half gallon) and a scotch brite
pad (working in the same direction as the stainless steel grain) to remove the cooked-in food. Special griddle
cleaners may also be commercially available in your area which may be used to remove heavy soil build-up.
· Thoroughly rinse the griddle with room temperature water after using any of these cleaners.
Caution:
Never flood a hot griddle with cold water! This causes griddle warping and can cause the griddle plate to
crack.
· Dry the griddle plate and coat it lightly with the cooking oil of choice or apply a non-stick cooking spray. This
will prevent the griddle from getting surface rust.
Drip Tray
Clean the drip tray after each use. Failure to do so could result in a fire. Once the appliance has cooled
completely, remove the tray by pulling it all the way out until it comes free. Clean the tray with hot soapy water
and
re-install. If using an oven cleaning agent, be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions to
avoid
damage to the stainless steel. Make sure the drip tray is fully inserted back into the Griddle.
