CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
General Overview
Proper care, maintenance, and cleaning will help ensure a long life of your Teppanyaki Griddle. Periodic
cleaning will help avoid accumulations of flammable grease, fats, and other debris.
Some debris and residue may remain on the griddle plate. To remove this residue after cooking, simply dip a
brass-bristle in tap water and scrub the hot plate.
Caution: Always allow the Teppanyaki Griddle to cool before cleaning.
Griddle Plate
• After every use, thoroughly wipe it with a rough cloth to
remove food particles and other residue.
• You may use hot soapy water to remove the cooked-in
food and seasoning.
• Special griddle cleaners are commercially available
which may be used to remove heavy soil build-up.
• Rinse the griddle with room temperature water after using
any of these cleaners.
Caution: Never flood a hot griddle with cold water! This
promotes griddle warping and can cause the griddle plate to
crack if continued over a period of time.
• Dry the griddle plate and coat it lightly with vegetable oil or apply a non-stick cooking spray
Stainless Steel & General Product Care
To keep your Teppanyaki Griddle free of surface corrosion and in good working order, it is important to take
additional precautions under certain conditions.
If your Teppanyaki Griddle is located in corrosive conditions, such as:
• A coastal environment where corrosive salty air is present.
• Near a swimming pool, hot tub or water feature with exposure to corrosive pool chemicals and/or
chlorinated water.
• Areas where muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) or other corrosive cleaning solutions are used to clean
concrete and masonry.
• Areas where corrosive masonry dust and debris are created by cutting stone or mixing cements
These conditions can create a highly corrosive environment that will cause the corrosion resistant type 304
stainless steel to develop surface oxidation, corrosion or rust.
TWIN EAGLES products have been tested in saline solutions, highly chlorinated solutions and have been tested
against exposure to highly acidic foods. The test results proved the type 304 stainless steel can withstand
exposure over prolonged periods of time. However, the conditions outlined above, along with neglect, can lead
to surface corrosion or rust.
ATTENTION:
Do not allow food particles or grease to be left on the griddle surface. These can attract rodents, which are
unsanitary and are likely to cause physical damage by chewing on the wiring, which can cause permanent
damage to the electrical components.
