To season the griddle, first clean it with warm, soapy water and dry it completely. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil over the cooking surface. Heat the griddle to medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, or until the oil begins to smoke. Allow it to cool, then wipe off any excess oil.
After the griddle has cooled, scrape off any food debris with a spatula. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth or sponge. For tougher residue, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive scrubber. Dry thoroughly to prevent rusting.
Uneven heating can be caused by residue buildup or improper seasoning. Clean the griddle thoroughly and ensure it's well-seasoned. If the problem persists, check for any obstructions or damages to the burners.
It's best to avoid metal utensils to prevent scratching the cooking surface. Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to maintain the surface integrity.
Ensure the griddle is properly seasoned and preheated before cooking. Use a small amount of cooking oil to create a non-stick surface. Avoid cooking at excessively high temperatures that can cause sticking.
Check the gas supply and ensure the tank is not empty. Inspect the igniter for any visible damage or residue. Clean the igniter and surrounding area. If the issue persists, consider replacing the igniter or contacting customer support.
Re-season the griddle whenever you notice food starting to stick, or if the surface appears dull or rusty. Regular re-seasoning, typically every few months, can help maintain optimal performance.
The Cuisinart CGWM-090 is designed for outdoor use only due to carbon monoxide risks associated with gas appliances. Always use it in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
Yes, it can be used in cold weather, but preheating may take longer. Keep the griddle shielded from strong winds to maintain consistent temperatures.
Clean the griddle thoroughly and ensure it is dry. Cover it with a weather-resistant grill cover and store it in a dry place. If possible, keep it off the ground to avoid moisture exposure.
