CLEANING THE GRIDDLE
The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning
or servicing the griddle.
Empty the grease drawer as needed throughout the day and regularly clean at least once
daily.
Clean the griddle regularly. A clean griddle always looks better, lasts longer and performs
better. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products keep the griddle
plate clean and free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the
transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food, resulting in spotty browning and loss
of cooking efficiency. Carbonized grease tends to cling to griddle foods, giving them a
highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance.
To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow these procedures:
AFTER EACH USE
Clean the griddle plate with a wire brush, flexible spatula or griddle scraper during the
work shift.
ONCE PER DAY
Thoroughly clean the griddle back splash, sides and front. Remove, empty and wash the
grease drawer in the same manner as an ordinary cooking utensil.
ONCE PER WEEK
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. Use a griddle stone, screen, or Scotch Bright pad
on the surface as necessary. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still
warm (not hot). A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help clean it, but be sure
the detergent is thoroughly removed by flushing with clear water.
After removal of detergent the surface of the plate the griddle should be seasoned
according to the instructions in this manual.
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. To
remove discoloration, use a griddle cleaner.
If the griddle usage is very high, consider conducting this weekly cleaning procedure
more than once per week.
Do not use a water jet to clean the griddle.
