With repeated use and washing, the characteristics of ceramic coating may fade, but
you may revitalize the coating by re-seasoning your cookware:
1. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to a clean paper towel. Rub the oiled paper
towel all over the entire INTERIOR surface of the pan.
2. Put the pan over low heat on the stove top for 30 secs. to 1 min., removing the pan if
the oil starts to smoke.

For best results, re-season your pan after a few uses or after cleaning it in a dishwasher.
Easy Maintenance
• Allow cookware to cool completely before washing. Never immerse a hot Grill/
Griddle in cold water as this will cause irreparable warping. Cleaning your cookware
is quick and easy.
• After each use, clean your Grill/Griddle with hot water and liquid dish detergent.
Let soak until lukewarm. Use a sponge or soft cloth to remove any remaining food
particles.
• Do not use steel wool or other metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches. Always
rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel.
Dishwasher Safe
Although your Grill/Griddle is dishwasher safe, we recommend cleaning by hand. Hand-
washing preserves the life of cookware and helps to maintain its appearance. If cleaning
in the dishwasher, follow the suggested guidelines below.

• We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
• Regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any surface.

To prevent scratching the coating, do not cut food on the Grill/
Griddle using sharp utensils, such as forks, knives, mashers, or
whisks, that can deteriorate the cooking surface.
Tips
Removing Stubborn Residue
When food is burned on the Grill/Griddle, a stubborn black
residue may remain. If regular cleaning does not loosen it, soak
in hot water and a tablespoon of non-lemon detergent for 15
minutes. Allow the water to become lukewarm before you drain
and rinse. Wipe with a plastic spatula or non-abrasive sponge to
loosen residue. Repeat if necessary.

Cooking Temperature in Oven
Feel free to use your Grill/Griddle in the oven without damage.
Please note that the cookware will become hot. Always use
oven mitts or potholders to prevent burns.Your can go from the
burner to the oven and even to the table when placed on a heat-
resistant trivet.
Storage
When storing your cookware, avoid stacking and crowding it in
cabinets or drawers. This could cause scratches. We recommend
a cookware rack or pegboard to provide convenient, safe
storage. Always nest your non-stick cookware carefully.
