Scrape, Scrub & Wipe

To maintain the natural non-stick properties of your Evo
cooksurface, it is important to keep the cooksurface clean and
oiled with cooking oil. Similar to caring for a cast iron skillet, the
process is simple with a few steps that will return a lifetime of
carefree cooking.
Regular Cleaning:
1. If you have burned sugar based sauces or heavy
carbon buildup follow the steps above with a screen
placed under the cleaning pad.
Heavy Cleaning:
Items Needed:
• Evo Scraper, cleaning handle, cleaning pad and paper
or terry cloth towels (screen for heavy cleaning)
• Cooking oil (vegetable canola, grapeseed)
1. Start with a warm cooksurface
(preferably right after cooking).
2. Using the Evo scraper, scrape and
remove food particles and debris.
3. Place a cleaning pad directly on
cook surface. Pour a liberal amount
of cooking oil over the pad. Place
insulated blue cleaning handle on
the pad.
4. Push handle against the pad and scour cooksurface in
a circular motion with special attention to heavy carbon
areas. Use more oil, if needed, for lubrication.
5. Wipe clean with paper towel or terry cloth. Repeat as
necessary. The cooksurface should be black and glossy.
6. Finish by wiping the entire cooksurface with a lightly-
oiled paper towel or terry cloth towel to season.

How to Clean Your Evo Cooktop

• Similar to a cast iron skillet, NEVER cook on a dry surface,
ALWAYS apply oil to the cooksurface prior to EVERY
cooking session (Use canola, soybean or grapeseed oil).
• After cleaning the Evo, pour 3-4 tablespoons of oil in
the center of the cooksurface, and wipe the oil over
the entire surface with a paper or terry cloth towel.
This will condition the surface prior to cooking.
• ALWAYS properly clean the cooksurface after every
use while the surface is still moderately hot. This will clean
and re-season the surface in preparation for the next time
you cook.
• Do not use water, club soda, salt, soap, degreasers,
cleaning bricks, steel wool or any abrasive product on
the Evo cooksurface. These will deglaze the surface,
remove the oil seasoning and can cause rusting. If you
accidentally deglaze your surface, follow instructions
below to clean and re-season the cooksurface.
To re-season the cooksurface:
1. Apply about 4-5 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the
surface and wipe the entire surface including the sides.
2. Turn both burners to medium and allow the oil to
smoke and burn off slightly for about 5 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low, wait several minutes and apply a
second layer of oil.
4. Repeat steps 2-3. The surface will appear dark and
glossy black. This repeated process will carbonize the
oil and create a blackened patina and a natural non-
stick oil seasoning.
5. Using the grill pad and cleaning handle, lightly polish
the surface smooth on low heat.
6. When the surface has cooled, wipe the cook surface
with a lightly oiled towel.
