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.
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.
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 a scraper tool or stainless steel wool. 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.
Periodic Maintenance
NOTE: All maintenance operations should only be carried out by a qualified service person.
To achieve the best results cleaning must be regular and thorough and all controls and mechanical parts
should be checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person. If any small faults occur, have
them attended to promptly. Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown.
