  1. Wipe off any anti-rust oil or manufacturing residue from the griddle plate using a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

  3. Apply a thin, even layer of high-temperature cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, flaxseed oil) to the entire cooking surface.
  4. Turn on the griddle to a low-medium temperature (around 250-300°F or 120-150°C) and allow the oil to bake onto the surface for 20-30 minutes until it stops smoking.
  5. Turn off the griddle and let it cool. Repeat the oil application and heating process 2-3 times to build a good seasoned layer. This helps create a non-stick surface and protects against rust.
