Cleaning and Maintenance

Weekly Cleaning 

NOTE: 



If chargrill usage is very high, we recommend weekly cleaning is carried out more  
frequently. 



Ensure protective gloves are worn during cleaning. 



DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic detergents as they 
will damage chargrill and burners. 



DO NOT use water on griddle plates while they are still hot as warping may occur.  
Allow these items to cool and then remove for cleaning. 

Grates (Cast Iron) 

a.  Clean grates thoroughly with a wire brush or a flexible spatula. 

b.  A scraper tool can be used to remove stubborn carbon and  

deposits. 

c.  Clean with hot water, a recommended detergent solution and a 

scrubbing brush.  Dry all components thoroughly with a dry 

cloth. 

d.  Switch the chargrill ‘On’ briefly to ensure grates become dry.  

Spread a thin film of cooking oil over grates to form a  
protective film. 

Radiants (Cast Iron) 

a.  Clean radiants thoroughly with a wire brush or a flexible  

spatula. 

b.  A scraper tool can be used to remove stubborn carbon and  

deposits. 

c.  Clean with hot water, a mild detergent solution and a scrubbing 

brush.  Dry all radiants thoroughly with a dry cloth. 

Griddle Plate (Optional Extra) 

a.  Remove and clean grease collection drawer frequently to prevent over spills. 

b.  Clean griddle surface thoroughly with a scraper tool or wire brush.  If necessary use a griddle 

stone or a scotch bright pad on griddle surface to remove stubborn or accumulated carbon  

deposits. 

c.  Occasionally bleach griddle plate with vinegar when plate is cold. 
d.  Clean with hot water, a mild detergent solution and a scrubbing brush.  Dry all components  

thoroughly with a dry cloth. 

NOTE: To prevent rust forming on the griddle plate, ensure all detergent and cleaning  

material has been entirely removed after each cleaning process.  Switch the chargrill 

‘On’ briefly to ensure grates are dry.  Spread a thin film of cooking oil over grates to 
form a protective greasy film.

Main Burners 

If the Chargrill is fitted with a griddle plate, if using a scraper tool to clean the 
griddle plate, always apply even pressure over the whole surface of the scraper 
tool, to prevent scoring of griddle plate surface. 

NEVER bang the sharp edge of the scraper tool on the flat surface of the griddle 
plate as this will damage the griddle plate and invalidate the warranty.
