more frequently.

damage range and burners.

these items to cool before cleaning.

been entirely removed after each cleaning process.  Appliance should be switched On  

briefly to ensure that griddle plate becomes dry.  Cooking oil or grease should be spread 

over griddle surface to form a thin protective greasy film.

griddle stone or a scotch bright pad on griddle surface to remove stubborn or accumulated  

carbon deposits.
