CLEANING / MAINTENANCE
Initial Cleaning:
Prior to operating your new griddle, thoroughly wash the griddle surface and the exterior with a mild
detergent or soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners since this might damage the cabinet finish. If the
stainless steel surfaces become discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the finished grain.
Cleaning:
1.
Always turn unit off and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Clean thoroughly before first use.
2.
After each use, clean the griddle with wire brush or flexible spatula.
3.
Once a day, thoroughly clean splash back, sides and front. Remove the grease drawer, empty it and
wash it out.
4.
Once a week, clean the griddle surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a griddle stone, wire brush or
steel wool on the surface. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still warm. A detergent
may be used on the plate surface to help clean it; but, care must be taken to be sure the detergent is
thoroughly removed. After removal of the detergent, the surface of the plate should then be covered
with a thin film of oil to prevent rusting. Clean stainless surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a
soft dry cloth. To remove discoloration, use a nonabrasive cleaner. After each "weekly" cleaning, the
griddle must be seasoned again. If the griddle usage is very high, the "weekly" cleaning procedures
may be done more often than once a week.
Extended Shutdown:
Turn the manual shutoff valve to "OFF"; (field installed valve not supplied by the manufacturer); turn all
control knobs to the "OFF" position; and shut off the pilot flame by turning the adjustment on the pilot valve.
If the griddle is to be shut down for an extended period, put a heavy coat of grease over the griddle plate.

Use only non-abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners could scratch the finish of your unit,
marring it’s appearance and making it susceptible to dirt accumulation. Do Not use steel wool, other
abrasive cleaners or cleaners/sanitizers containing chlorine, iodine, ammonia or bromine
chemicals as these will deteriorate the stainless steel and glass material and shorten the life of the
unit.
