GRIDDLE PLATE & GREASE TRAY (if equipped)
BURN HAZARD - To prevent burns, do not touch the griddle plate or grease tray when hot. Allow to
cool completely.
NEVER flood a hot griddle plate with cold water. The steam could cause serious burns. The sudden
temperature change could also distort the metal surfaces resulting in permanant warpage of the
plate. DO NOT clean the griddle plate in a self-cleaning oven.
The griddle plate can be removed for cleaning by hand using warm soapy water. For more difficult
residues, you can rub coarse salt on the plate, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. The grease tray
has a non-stick coating which may be cleaned by hand using warm soapy water, or it may be cleaned
in the dishwasher. Do not use sharp objects or scrapers, as this may gouge the surfaces.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Do not allow food stains or salt to remain in contact with stainless steel surfaces too long. All
stainless steel exterior surfaces may be cleaned with warm soapy water, or any number of commercial
stainless steel cleaners. Check to make sure the cleaners do not contain chlorine or chlorine
compounds as these are corrosive to stainless steel. Rinse thoroughly.
SUGGESTED CLEANERS:
Hot water & mild detergent
Fantastik
®
ALWAYS clean stainless steel in the direction of the grain with light pressure.
If your Hestan appliance has colored panels, use warm soapy water ONLY. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Wait until the appliance is completely cool before using any aerosol-type cleaners. Many of these
cleaners use flammable propellants which could ignite in the presence of heat.
