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 unplug the griddle from the wall and let it cool completely before cleaning. Remove the temperature control probe. Be careful, as it may be hot, and allow it to cool before handling.
-
Cleaning the Probe: Wipe the temperature control case and probe with a damp, soft cloth. Ensure the probe is thoroughly dried before using the griddle again. Remember, the probe is not submersible.
-
Drip Tray Maintenance: Remove the drip tray and empty any contents. Wash the drip tray with soapy water, rinse, and dry it completely.
-
Griddle Plate Cleaning: For general cleaning, wash the griddle plate with hot, soapy water and dry it with a towel. Avoid using cooking sprays, as they can cause build-up. Do not stack objects on the cooking plates to prevent scratching.
-
Dealing with Stubborn Food: Use a plastic cleaning pad to gently loosen stubborn food particles. Avoid using metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the ceramic titanium surface. For tough stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, and then gently rub with a soft, damp cloth or plastic scouring pad. Repeat if necessary.
-
Important Reminders: Your BELLA 14606 griddle is not dishwasher safe. Always hand-wash it using the methods described above. Ensure the probe and its receptacle are completely dry before you use the griddle again.
