CARE and MAINTENANCE
Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not
to damage the igniter. (See illustration above and page 9.
The burner bowls, around the burners, are easily lifted off
when the burner grates are removed. They are porcelain
enameled steel. Clean following directions for burner
grates.
Located beneath the cooktop is one or two drip trays
(depending on model). If you have a griddle or a grill there
will also be a tray liner. The drip trays and liners are made
of stainless steel. The drip trays are on rollers so they are
easy to remove and replace. To remove, pull the tray for-
ward. If something has spilled into the trays it should be
cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food
soil.
Grease from the griddle or the grill drains through the drain
tube into the tray and liner below.
Do not allow the grease
to accumulate
in the tray or liner as it can be a fire hazard.
Clean the tube, tray and liner as soon as they are cool. Clean
with hot soapy water. For the tube use a soapy bottle brush.
A mild abrasive cleaner such as Bon-Ami or Soft Scrub can
be used. For stubborn stains use a soap filled steel wool pad,
or a harsh abrasive such as: Comet® or Ajax®, rubbing
lightly. Rinse all parts thoroughly.
GRIDDLE
Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles,
using a square edged spatula, while it is still hot. Once the
griddle has cooled to a lukewarm temperature rub the surface
lightly with vegetable oil (do not use corn oil, it gets sticky).
Thoroughly wipe the griddle with a heavy coarse cloth or
burlap to remove any remaining residue and food particles.
If you have a
grease build-up
use 1 tablespoon of vinegar in a
1/2 cup of water, clean with a scouring cloth such as a Chore
Boy® Scouring Cloth. For
heat discoloration
use a stainless
steel cleaner for heat stains such as Revere Ware® Stainless
Steel Cleaner.
Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry. If
food soil or
residue
is cooked onto the griddle, use a griddle stone (fine
grained pumice), or a griddle pan and screen cleaner (these
are both available at restaurant supply store), following the
manufacturers’ directions. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse
and dry.
