MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent,
a soft cloth and hot water . If it is necessary to use a non-
metallic scouring pad, always rub in the direction of the grain
in the metal to prevent scratching . Wash a small area at a
time and rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped
into a disinfectant and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth before
it can dry .
Use only stainless steel, wood or plastic tools to scrape
off heavy deposits of grease or oil . Do not use ordinary
steel scrapers or knives, as particles of iron may become
embedded and rust .
NEVER USE STEEL WOOL

Griddle Do’s & Don’ts
Do’s
1. Season the griddle. This will prevent foods from sticking
and make it easier to keep the surface clean.
2 . Keep the surface clean . Scraping the surface throughout
production to clear foods and oils prevents build up and
will make it easier to keep the surface clean.
3 . Turn the temperature down during slow periods .
Reducing the temperature or turning sections off during
slow periods will conserve energy and prevent the plate
from overheating .
