Daily Cleaning
1.
The grease / spill tray(s) should be checked and emptied frequently to prevent overflow and
spillage. Remove the grease / spill tray(s) while still warm so that the grease is in a liquid state.
Empty any grease from the trays and wash thoroughly in the same manner as any cooking utensil.
2.
Remove the burner caps and bases, the trivets and thoroughly clean the splash back, interior and
exterior surfaces of the range with hot water, a detergent solution and a soft scrubbing brush.
3.
Brush griddle surface (optional - if fitted) with a soft bristled brush. Any carbon deposits should be
removed using a scraper tool followed by wiping with a cloth to prevent build up of food deposits.
Clean control panel with a damp cloth moistened with a solution of mild detergent and water.
4.
Dry the range thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
Weekly Cleaning
NOTE:
•
If the range usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning procedure is
carried out on a more frequent basis.
•
Ensure that protective gloves are worn during the cleaning process.
•
DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic detergents as they will
damage the range, burners and plates.
•
DO NOT use water on the trivets, griddle plates and burners while they are still hot as
cracking may occur. Allow these items castings to cool and remove for cleaning.
•
DO NOT clean the burners in a dishwasher.
Range Cooking Area
a. Clean the range cooking area using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent and hot water
solution.
b. Baked on deposits or discolouration may require a good quality stainless steel cleaner or stainless
steel wool. Always apply cleaner when the appliance is cold and rub in the direction of the grain.
c. It should not be necessary to remove the splash guards covering the burner manifolds for
cleaning purposes. These can be cleaned in situ.
d. Remove the grease tray and clean with a mild anti bacterial detergent and hot water solution
using a soft bristled brush.
e. Dry the grease tray thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Griddle Plate - (Steel)
NOTE: In order to prevent the forming of rust on the griddle plate, ensure the detergent or
cleaning material has been entirely removed after each cleaning process. The
appliance should be switched on briefly to ensure the griddle plates become dry. Oil
or grease should be spread over the griddle surface in order to form a thin protective
greasy film.
a. Remove and clean the grease / spill trays frequently to prevent over spills.
b. Clean the griddle surface thoroughly with the supplied scraper tool or a wire brush. If necessary
use a griddle stone or a scotch bright pad on the griddle surface.
c. A scraper tool can be used for the removal of stubborn carbon and deposits.

e. Clean with hot water, a mild detergent solution and a scrubbing brush. Dry all components
thoroughly with a dry cloth.
f.
The griddle should be switched on briefly to ensure that the griddle plate becomes dry. A thin
smear of cooking oil should be spread over the griddle plate in order to form a protective film.
C
AUTION
:
Always ensure that an even pressure is applied over the whole surface of the
scraper tool when using on the flat surface of the griddle, to prevent scoring of
the surface.
NEVER bang the sharp edge of the scraper tool on the flat surface of the
griddle as this will damage the finish and invalidate the warranty.
