PROTECTING YOUR
GRIDDLE TOP
Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-
tion. Always cover griddle if stored
outdoors. Choose from a variety of
griddle covers offered by Blackstone.
When protecting griddle with soft
cover, use the "tenting" method to
prevent water from accumulating
on griddle top. "Tenting" involves
placing an object (a bowl, tennis
ball or PVC pipe) beneath soft cover
in the center of griddle in order to
allow water to slide off. "Tenting"
helps prevent rust.
FIRST TIME CLEANING
GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE:
Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated
with cooking oil to prevent rust and
damage during shipping. For first
time use, wash griddle with hot,
soapy water.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU
SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE
GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.
Rinse and dry completely. Proceed
with seasoning instructions. (Please
reference the Griddle Seasoning
Instructions section.)
