Cleaning and Maintenance

Daily Cleaning 

1. 

The grease drawer should be checked and emptied frequently to prevent overflow and spillage.   

Remove the grease drawer while still warm so that the grease is in a liquid state.  Empty any grease 

from the drawer and wash thoroughly in the same manner as any cooking utensil. 

2. 

Clean the Control Panel with a damp cloth lightly moistened with a solution of mild detergent and 
water. 

3. 

Thoroughly clean the splash back, the interior and exterior surfaces of the range with hot water, a 

detergent solution and a soft scrubbing brush. 

4. 

Brush the griddle surface with a soft bristled brush.  Any carbon deposits should be removed using 

the supplied scraper tool followed by wiping with a cloth to prevent accumulation of food  

deposits. 

5. 

Dry the range thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. 

NOTE: Chrome Griddle Plate;

DO NOT use abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic  

detergents as they could corrode or damage the chrome plate. 

Weekly Cleaning 

NOTE: 

• 

If the griddle usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning procedure is  
carried out on a more frequent basis. 

• 

Ensure that protective gloves are worn during the cleaning process. 

• 

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

• 

DO NOT use water on the griddle plates while they are still hot as warping may occur.  
Allow these items to cool before cleaning. 

Griddle - Steel Plate 

NOTE:  In order to prevent the forming of rust on the griddle plate, ensure that all detergent and 

cleaning material has been entirely removed after each cleaning process.  The appliance 
should be switched on briefly to ensure that the griddle plate becomes dry.  Cooking oil or 
grease should be spread over the griddle surface in order to form a thin protective greasy 
film. 

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

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

use a griddle stone or a scotch bright pad on the griddle surface for the removal of stubborn or 

accumulated carbon deposits. 

c.  Occasionally bleach the griddle plate with vinegar when the plate is cold. 

d.  Clean with hot water, a mild detergent solution and a scrubbing brush.  Dry all components  

thoroughly with a dry cloth. 

e.  The griddle should be switched on briefly to ensure that the griddle plate becomes dry.  A thin 

smear of cooking oil should be spread over the griddle in order to form a protective film.
