[SanJourney]

Keeping your Tristar BP-2970 Electric Teppanyaki Table Grill clean is key to its performance and lifespan. Follow these simple steps for effective cleaning: First, always unplug the grill and let it cool completely before you begin to avoid burns. Use a paper towel or soft cloth to wipe down the interior and edges, removing loose food particles and grease. It's important to avoid pouring cold water onto a hot plate, as this could cause damage and splattering. Instead, use a damp cloth to remove any remaining stains or grease. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, which can damage the surface. Remember to empty and wash the fat collecting tray after each use with warm, soapy water. While the Tristar BP-2970 is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended to help extend the life of your appliance.
