Proper care and maintenance will keep your Griddle intop operat-
ing condition and prolong its life. Follow these cleaning procedures
on a timely basis and your Griddle will stay clean and operate with
minimum effort.
CAUTION: Be sure your griddle is OFF and cool before cleaning.
Cleaning
The Griddle
Cooking
Surface
[]
Before initial use, and periodically, wash your Cooking
Griddle in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can
use a wash cloth or vegetable brush to clean your
Cooking Griddle.
Cleaning
The Grease
Tray
[]
To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining Tray
should be visually inspected before each Griddle use.
Remove any grease and wash Grease Tray with a mild
soap and warm water solution.
Cleaning
Manufactured
Stone Surfaces:
[]
If needed, we suggest you wash the manufactured
stone surface using a mild soap and warm water
solution only. You can use a soft soapy cloth or sponge
then rinse with water. Never use abrasive cleaners, any
cleaner containing bleach, scrubbers or stiff wire
bushes on the stone surface.These can cause discol-
oration and/or chipping of the painted surface.
Cleaning
Exterior
Stainless
Steel Surfaces:
[]
Routine care and maintenance is required to preserve
the appearance
and corrosion resistance of stainless
steel. The fact is stainless steel can corrode, rust and
discolor under certain conditions. Rust is caused when
regular steel particles in the atmosphere
become at-
tached to the stainless steel surface.
Steel particles
can also become attached to your Griddle if you use
steel wool or stiff wire brushes to clean the Griddle
instead of non-abrasive cloth, sponge or nylon clean-
ing tools. In coastal areas rust pits can develop on
stainless surfaces that cannot be fully removed. Bleach
and other chlorine based solutions
used for house-
hold and pool cleaning can also cause corrosion
to
stainless steel. Weathering, extreme heat, smoke from
cooking and machine oils used in the manufacturing
process of stainless
steel can cause stainless
steel
to turn tan in color. Although
there are many factors
which can affect the surface appearance
of stainless
steel, they do not affect the integrity of the steel or the
performance
of the griddle.
[] To help maintain the finish of stainless steel follow
these cleaning procedures for the best results:
1. After every use (after your Griddle has cooled down), wipe
stainless surfaces with a soft, soapy cloth or sponge then
rinse with water. Be sure to remove all food particles, sauces
or marinades from stainless steel because these can be
highly acidic and damaging to stainless surfaces.
2. Never use abrasive
cleaners,
scrubbers
or stiff wire
brushes of any type on your griddle.
3. Use a heat resistant Stainless Steel Cleaner and rub or wipe
in the direction of the stainless steel grain or polish lines
NOT against the grain.
Failure to comply with these instructions
could re-
sult in a fire or explosion
that could cause serious
bodily injury, death or property damage.
• Keep griddle area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of air for combustion and
ventilation.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the tank enclosure
cabinet free and clear of debris.
• Visually check burner flames occasionally to ensure
proper flame pattern as shown below.
