Section 5: CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cooktop Cleaning Recommendations Cooktop Part / Material Griddle / Aluminum with nonstick coating Suggested Cleaners • Remove drip tray and discard grease into a grease resistant container for disposal. Wash drip tray in warm soapy water or place in dishwasher. Wipe griddle surface with warm soapy water then rinse with warm water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. • If food particles stick to the griddle plate, remove with a mild abrasive cleaner such as Soft Scrub®. Important Reminders • Never flood a hot griddle with cold water. This can warp or crack the aluminum plate. • Do not clean any part of the griddle in a self-cleaning oven. Igniters / Ceramic Surface Spill Tray /Main Top Porcelain Enamel • Use a cotton swab dampened with water, Formula 409® or Fantastic®. • Do not use sharp tool to scrape the igniter. It is fragile; if an igniter is damaged, it may not light the burner. • A cleaner such as Soft Scrub® may be used. Apply with a damp sponge or cloth according to the manufacturer's instructions. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft cloth. • If cleaners such as Bar Keeper's Friend®, Bon-ami®, Comet®, or Ajax® are used, apply with a damp sponge or cloth according to the manufacturer's directions. Rub lightly as these cleansers may scatch the finish. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft cloth. For burned on foods, a soap-filled fiber or steel wool pad such as S.O.S.® or Brillo® may be used. Dampen the pad and rub gently. Care must be taken as these may scratch the finish. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft cloth. 19
