Note: The temperature display will show both the set point and the current temperature reading. When cold
batter is added to a plate, there will be a drop in temperature dierence between the set point and current
temperature reading. This is normal and will not aect baking. Under normal conditions, please allow 15-25
seconds for current temperature to recover to set point.

TIPS & MAINTENANCE
CARE & CLEANING
1. Unplug the power cable and ensure that the product is cooled completely before cleaning.
2. Clean the grids with a soft cloth or sponge dampened in a mild detergent and warm water.
ONLY use "safe for aluminum" cleaners or permanent damage may result.
3. Rinse and wipe dry to ensure no detergent residue is left on the grids.
4. For end of day or deep cleaning, remove the grids using instructions above. Then, soak grids in hot soapy
water or mild detergent. Wash with soft plastic brush. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Plates MUST be
completely dry before reinstalling on unit.
5. For daily exterior cleaning, wipe the frame of the unit with a non-abrasive cloth dampened in warm water
and mild soap. Stubborn stains may be removed with a good stainless steel cleaner. Hard-to-reach areas
should be cleaned with a small soft bristle brush. We recommend using Noble Chemical Excel Stainless
Steel Cleaner for exterior cleaning.
6. Remove the drip tray and clean with a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent.
Note: The drip tray is dishwasher safe.
• Grids MUST be open when pre-heating. If closed, the temperature inside the grid is much higher than
when open. Long periods of high temperature is not good for non-stick coating. Please allow 30-45
minutes for pre-heating from a cold start. 356-400°F is optimal operational temperature.
• If maker is not being used for periods of 20-30 minutes between use, we recommend either turning
OFF the unit OR reducing the set temperature to 175°F.
• The unit is equipped with a temperature limiter, which will shut o the unit automatically if the temperature
reaches above 554°F.
• DO NOT use any metal tool to remove wae, use wooden or plastic utensils. It's recommended to use a
high-temp soft bristle brush to remove crumbs in between uses to avoid burning.
• If black flakes appear on waes or the surface, it’s recommended to stop using the unit and not serve
customers. This indicates the non-stick coating is damaged. Please replace the grids before continuing use.
• With non-stick grids, it’s not necessary to use oil or non-stick spray directly on the grid. However, if sticking
begins to occur, use a soft bristle or silicone brush to evenly coat grids with cooking oil.
• For high volume application, it may be necessary to replace wae grids every 3-4 months. Wae grids are
not dishwasher safe.
• DO NOT use a wire brush, sti brush, or other corrosive liquids to clean the grids to avoid damage
to the surface coating.
• DO NOT use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad.
• DO NOT clean the product with a pressure washer or immerse the unit in water.
• DO NOT place damp or wet grids back into the unit.
