Cleaning and Maintenance
Daily Cleaning
1.
The grease drawer should be checked and emptied frequently to prevent overflow and spillage.
Remove the grease drawer while still warm so that the grease is in a liquid state. Empty any grease
from the drawer and wash thoroughly in the same manner as any cooking utensil.
2.
Clean the Control Panel with a damp cloth lightly moistened with a solution of mild detergent and
water.
3.
Thoroughly clean the splash back, the interior and exterior surfaces of the griddle with hot water, a
detergent solution and a soft scrubbing brush.
4.
Brush the griddle surface with a soft bristled brush. Any carbon deposits should be removed using
the supplied scraper tool followed by wiping with a cloth to prevent accumulation of food deposits.
5.
Dry the griddle thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
NOTE: Chrome Griddle Plate;
DO NOT use abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic
detergents as they could corrode or damage the chrome plate.
Weekly Cleaning
NOTE:
•
If the griddle 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 griddle and burners.
•
DO NOT use water on the griddle plates while they are still hot as warping may occur.
Allow these items castings to cool and remove for cleaning.
Griddle - Steel Plate
NOTE: In order to prevent the forming of rust on the griddle plate, ensure that all detergent and
cleaning material has been entirely removed after each cleaning process. The appliance
should be switched on briefly to ensure the griddle plate becomes 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 collection drawer 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 for the removal of stubborn or
accumulated carbon deposits..
c. Occasionally bleach the griddle plate with vinegar when the plate is cold.
d. Clean with hot water, a mild detergent solution and a scrubbing brush. Dry all components
thoroughly with a dry cloth.
e. 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 in order to form a protective film.
Griddle - Chrome Plate
NOTE: In order to maintain the finish on the chrome griddle plate, ensure that all detergent and
cleaning material has been entirely removed after each cleaning process. The appliance
should be switched on briefly to ensure the griddle plate becomes dry.
C
AUTION
:
Always ensure that an even pressure is applied over the whole surface of the
scraper tool when using on the flat chromed surface of the griddle, to prevent
scoring of the surface.
NEVER bang the sharp edge of the scraper tool on the flat chromed surface of
the griddle as this will damage the chrome finish and invalidate the warranty.
