CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

HINTS FOR CARE AND USE OF NON-STICK SURFACE:

2. Use medium to low heat for best cooking results. Extremely high temperatures can cause discoloration and shorten the life span of any non-stick surface. If higher temperatures are necessary, preheat on medium for a few minutes.
3. Use only nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils with care to avoid scratching the non-stick surface. Never cut food on the griddle. Remove stubborn stains with a plastic scouring pad and mild dish washing liquid; DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL SCOURING PADS.
