CLEANING
Begin cleaning procedure by using the operating procedures within your organization, or follow
the steps below:
. If particles adhere to the cooking surface during the day, scrape them off with a spatula.
NOTE:
It is best not to let food cook onto the grill, as food build-up on the grill will increase
sticking and smoking. In addition, carbon may build up on the grill surface and reduce the
cooking efficiency.
CARBON BUILDUP:
A black matter that forms on or near the cooking surface. Generally this
is a combination of: releasing agents, oils, food particles etc. that has cooked itself to the
surface. After a period of time without cleaning, this will reduce performance and material
may start flaking off. When that happens, follow the "Carbon Cleaning" procedures.
. At the end of the day, wipe down all surfaces with a warm, damp cloth and mild detergent,
then dry.
CARBON CLEANING
When carbon build up occurs, use a carbon removal agent according to the instructions provided
with the cleaner. When this process is complete, you must re-season the grill according to your
company/corporate guidelines, or the seasoning instructions in this manual.
