Keeping your BELLA 14606 Electric Ceramic Titanium Griddle clean is essential for its longevity and performance. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Safety First: Always turn off the griddle and unplug it from the power outlet after each use. Allow the griddle to cool completely before cleaning to prevent burns.
-
Temperature Probe Care: Detach the temperature control probe from the griddle. Wipe the probe and its housing with a damp, soft cloth if needed, and make sure to dry it thoroughly. Remember, the temperature control probe is not designed to be submerged in water.
-
Drip Tray Maintenance: Remove the drip tray and discard any collected grease or food particles. Wash the tray with soapy water, rinse it well, and dry it completely.
-
Cleaning the Griddle Surface: For the griddle surface, start by washing it with hot, soapy water and drying it with a towel. If food residue is stubborn, use a plastic cleaning pad to gently scrub the surface. Avoid using harsh scourers like steel wool or abrasive cleaners, as these can scratch the ceramic titanium coating.
-
Tackling Stubborn Stains: For persistent stains, make a paste by mixing baking soda with a little water. Apply the paste to the stained area, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently rub with a damp cloth or a plastic scouring pad. Repeat if needed. Do not use metal scouring pads.
-
Important Reminders: Never stack items on the cooking surface to prevent scratches. Avoid using cooking sprays, as they can build up and reduce the non-stick performance. Always ensure both the probe and the probe receptacle are completely dry before you use the griddle again. The BELLA 14606 Electric Ceramic Titanium Griddle is not dishwasher safe; hand washing is recommended using these cleaning methods. For detailed instructions and any specific precautions, consult the "Care & Cleaning Instructions" section in your BELLA 14606 Electric Ceramic Titanium Griddle Instruction Manual.
