The griddle is made from non-magnetic, 304 grade
stainless steel. There are various stainless steel cleaners
available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure
first, and always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Soapy water should be sufficient for most cleaning. A
sniff brush may also be helpful in removing grime and

30” Food Warmer
Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance,
•
particularly the drawer box and back of the drawer
face. All parts of the drawer can be cleaned with hot
soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed with a heavy
pile cloth. Always try this first, as it is the mildest
cleaning procedure.
Be sure the warming drawer is turned off and the
•
appliance is cooled before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical
that produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to
corrode.
Use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Some
•
brands of cleaners are harsher than others, read
their directions. Try in a small area first.
To avoid marring the surface always rub the metal
•
finishes in the direction of the polish grain lines.
The cleaner will be more effective when used in the
direction of the polished lines.
Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels,
•
plastic or non-metal soap pads for cleaning or
scouring, as recommended in this section.
Be sure to rinse thoroughly and to wipe dry to avoid
•
watermarks.
