Before first use, wash with mild soap, dry, and apply a thin layer of cooking oil. Heat for 2-3 minutes to create a protective layer.
Unplug and let cool. Wipe with a soft sponge or cloth. For stuck-on food, use a plastic scraper. Avoid abrasive cleaners that scratch nonstick.
Ensure the surface is completely dry to prevent rust. Store flat or upright with a protective sheet between stacked pans.
Our team found that removable temperature controls make cleaning much easier and extend the griddle's life-a feature we strongly recommend.
For even cooking, preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium heat before adding food. This prevents hot spots and gives better browning.
