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.  

*NOTE:

 Gas shutoff valve is supplied by the manufacturer on CE or European Community models.  

If the griddle is to be shut down for an extended period, put a heavy coat of grease over the griddle plate.
