Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the griddle from its packaging.
2. Wash Before First Use: Hand wash the griddle with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Prepare for Cooking: Before each use, apply a small amount of high smoke point oil (such as avocado oil or olive oil) or butter to the nonstick surface. This helps maintain the nonstick properties and enhances cooking performance.

Operating Instructions

Stovetop Use

• Heat Management: Always use low to medium heat settings. High heat can damage the nonstick coating over time and lead to sticking.
• Even Heating: The aluminum body ensures quick and even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface.
• Utensils: Use only wooden or silicone utensils to prevent scratching the nonstick surface. Avoid metal utensils.
• Versatility: Ideal for cooking pancakes, bacon, eggs, short-order classics, and large family meals.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Dishwasher Safe: The griddle is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the nonstick coating, hand washing is recommended. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scrubbing pads, as these can damage the nonstick surface.
• Cleaning Baked-On Bits: For stubborn food residue, allow the griddle to cool completely. Then, boil some water with a small amount of baking soda in the griddle on the stovetop. This can help loosen baked-on bits, which can then be wiped away with a soft sponge.
• Cool Down: Always allow the griddle to cool completely before washing to prevent warping.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: If food begins to stick, ensure you are using a small amount of oil or butter before cooking. Avoid using high heat, which can degrade the nonstick coating.
• Discoloration: High heat or prolonged exposure to certain foods can cause slight discoloration. This typically does not affect performance.
• Scratches: Always use non-metal utensils (wood or silicone) to prevent scratching the nonstick surface.
