Cleaning and Maintenance

AUTION

: 

Always turn off the electrical supply at the mains before cleaning. 

This appliance is not water proof. 

Do Not use water jet spray to clean interior or exterior of this appliance. 

General 

Clean the griddle regularly.  A clean appliance looks better, will last longer and will perform better.   

Carbonised grease on the surface or on the griddle plate will hinder the transfer of heat from the 

cooking surface to the food.  This will result in loss of cooking efficiency. 

NOTE:  Each Heavy Duty Griddle is supplied with a scraper tool and a pack of blades for cleaning 

the griddle surface. 

-   1 Flat Blade (pack) - 1 Ribbed Blade (pack) and 2 handles for Ribbed Heavy Duty Griddle. 

-  1 Flat Blade (pack) and I handle for Smooth Heavy Duty Griddle. 

NEVER use the ribbed scraper blade on the flat chrome surfaced griddle plate. 
 
Replacement blades and handles can be purchased separately.  Refer to the 'Replacement 
Parts List' at the rear of the manual. 

DO NOT use water on the griddle plate while this item is still hot as warping and 

cracking may occur.  Allow the griddle plate to cool down before cleaning

. 

NOTE: 

• 

DO NOT use abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic detergents as they could  
corrode or damage the griddle. 

• 

In order to prevent the forming of rust on the griddle plate (Steel Plate), ensure that any 
detergent or cleaning material has been completely removed after each cleaning.  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.

To keep your griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow the procedures shown below:- 

After Each Use 

1. 

Clean the griddle with the supplied scraper tools to remove any food debris. 

2. 

Always ensure that the scraper tool blades are changed regularly to ensure that the scraper tool 
works efficiently and prevents damage to the griddle plate surface.

AUTION

: 

Always ensure that an even pressure is applied over the whole surface of the 
scraper tool when using on the flat chromed surface of the griddle, to prevent 
scoring of the surface. 

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