Cleaning and Care of
Top Surface Heating Burners
Surface units may be raised to permit removal of spillover
bowls under the surface burners. Spillover bowls may be
cleaned, wiped dry and replaced. Drip trays under the front
control panel may also be removed, washed, rinsed, wiped
dry and replaced. Cooking top may be wiped with a damp
cloth using a mild detergent and wary water. You may also
follow pervious instructions for “cleaning Stainless Steel
Exterior.”
Cleaning of Griddle, All Purpose Plates and
Boil Plates
To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle
products, keep griddle free from carbonized grease.
Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of
heat from the griddle surface to food product. This results
in uneven browning and loss of cooking efficiency, and
worst of all, carbonized grease tends to cling to the griddle
foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing
appearance. To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak
performance, follow these simple instructions.
A. After Each Use clean griddle thoroughly with a grill
scraper or spatula. Wipe off any excess debris left from
cooking process.
B. Once A Day clean griddle surface with a grill brick and
grill pad. Remove grease container and clean thoroughly,
in same manor as any ordinary cooking utensil.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING continued
C. Once A Week clean griddle surface thoroughly. If
necessary, use a grill stone or grill pad over the griddle
surface. Rub with grain of the metal while still warm. A
detergent may be use on the plate surface to help clean
it, but care must be taken to be sure it is thoroughly
removed. After removal of detergent, the surface of the
plate should be covered with a thin film of oil to prevent
rusting. To remove discolorations, use a non-abrasive
cleaner. Before re-using the griddle must be reseasoned.
Keep griddle drain tube to grease container clear at all
times on those models without side grease container.
CAUTION: This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is
relatively soft and can be scored or dented by careless use
of spatula. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate
surface. This will cause food to stick in those areas. Also, note
since this is a steel griddle if a light coating of oil is not always
present rust will develop on unexposed areas.

cleaning.
Lift broil rack out of carriage. Pull rack carriage forward to
rack stops and raise. Carriage may now be pulled out of
tracks. Raise and pull grease pan forward and out. Entire
interior of broiler may now be cleaned. After washing and
drying, reassemble parts by reversing previous steps.
After cleaning Boil Plates, All Purpose Plates, Griddles,
Tubular Heating Units, Ovens and Broilers, wash front and
back grease troughs and drip trays with hot, mild detergent
or soap solution and dry thoroughly.
