MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
NOTE: Disconnect line cord from the power supply or turn
the power off at the circuit breaker before cleaning of
servicing for your protection against electric shock .
Exterior Cleaning
Establish a regular cleaning schedule . Any spills should be
wiped off immediately .
1 . Wipe exposed, cleanable surface when cool with a mild
detergent and hot water . Stubborn residue spots may be
removed with a lightweight non-metallic scouring pad .
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth .
2 . Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent,
a soft scouring pad and hot water . If it necessary to use a
non-metallic scouring pad, always rub in the direction of
the grain in the metal to prevent scratching . Use a water
based stainless steel cleaner (Dracket Twinkle), if you
want a high shine . Never use steel wool on Stainless steel .
 . The control panel surface is easily cleaned with hot water,
soap and a soft cloth . Do not use hard abrasives, solvent
type materials or metallic scouring pads since these will
scratch or cloud the surface .
4 Never spay the perforated areas or control panel with
steam or water, this will allow moisture into the control
cavity which could damage electrical components .
Cleaning Of Top Surface Heating Elements
Surface elements may be raised to permit removal of the
spillover burner bowl located under the surface elements .
Spillover burner bowls may be cleaned, wiped dry and
replaced . The Cooking top may be wiped with a damp cloth
using a mild detergent and warm water . Rinse with clear,
warm water and dry thoroughly .
Griddle Cleaning.
To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle
products, keep the griddle free from carbonized grease .
Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of
heat from the griddle surface to the food product . This
results in uneven browning and loss of cooking efficiency
and worst of all, 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
performance, follow these simple instructions .
1 . After each use clean the griddle thoroughly with a grill
scraper or spatula . Wipe off any excess debris left from
the cooking process .
2 . Once a day clean the griddle surface with a grill brick
and grill pad . Remove the grease container and clean
thoroughly, in the same manner as any ordinary cooking
utensil .
 . Once a week clean the griddle surface thoroughly . If
necessary, use a grill stone or grill pad over the griddle
surface . Rub with the grain of the metal while still warm .
A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help
clean it, but care must be taken to be sure it is thoroughly
removed . After removal of the detergent, the surface
of the plate should be covered with a thin film of oil to
prevent rusting . To remove discoloration, use a non-
abrasive cleaner . Before re-using the griddle must be
re-seasoned . Keep the griddle drain tube to the grease
container clear at all times .
Empty grease trough below the griddle frequently . The front
grease trough should be washed using a hot, mild detergent
or soap solution . Rinse with clear, warm water and dry
thoroughly .
CAUTION: This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is
relatively soft and can be scored or dented by careless use of
a spatula . Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gorge the plate
surface . This will cause food to stick in those areas . Also, note,
since this is a steel griddle if a light coat of oil is not always
present, rust will develop on exposed area .
