This Globe GG48TG Countertop Griddle is efficient and easy to clean. With high-performance U-style burners, this Gas Griddle offers heat control every 12" and a flame every 6". Its thermostatic design maximizes operator control by providing a flexible 200°F - 575°F temperature range. The 1" thick steel griddle has been highly polished to ensure an easy cleaning process. The stainless steel trough catches excess grease while its 3-1/2" side guards block grease from splashing on the surrounding counter space.

Maintenance Tips
-
Cool & Clean Daily: After use and once the griddle has cooled, scrape the smooth 1″ steel griddle plate with a metal spatula or griddle scraper to remove food debris and grease; frequent scraping prevents carbon buildup and makes cleaning easier.
-
Empty & Wash Catch Tray: Remove the 4″ grease trough catch tray daily; empty, wash with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry to maintain safety and reduce fire hazards.
-
Wipe Stainless Surfaces: Use a soft cloth and mild, non‑abrasive detergent to wipe the stainless steel body, thermostatic knobs, and control panel; avoid hose‑downs, pressure washing, and harsh chemicals that can damage finish and components.
-
Level & Inspect: Ensure the griddle sits level by adjusting the 4″ stainless steel legs; check burners, pilots, and ignitors for proper flame and performance before service.
-
Protect After Cleaning: After cleaning, consider a light film of food‑grade oil on the griddle plate to prevent rust and simplify future cleanup.
-
Professional Gas Service: Have a qualified technician inspect gas connections and thermostatic controls annually to maintain safety, compliance, and consistent cooking temperatures.
