Maintenance Tips

Regular Cleaning: After each use, preheat the press to 350°F, then carefully wipe down the plates with a damp cloth to remove food residues.
-
Hinge Care: Periodically clean the hinge area with a damp rag to ensure smooth operation, especially in high-volume settings.

Avoid Lubricants: If hinge sticking occurs, apply food-grade oil sparingly; avoid vegetable oil as it can harden and affect performance.

Seasoning the Plates: Regularly season the cast iron plates by applying a thin layer of oil and heating the press to 400°F to maintain non-stick properties and prevent rust.
