AUTION
:
Always turn off the gas supply before cleaning.
This appliance is not water proof.
Do Not use water jet spray to clean interior or exterior of this appliance.
General
Clean the griddle regularly. A clean appliance looks better, will last longer and will perform better.
Carbonised grease on the surface or on the griddle plate will hinder the transfer of heat from the
cooking surface to the food. This will result in loss of cooking efficiency.
NOTE: Each Heavy Duty Griddle is supplied with a scraper tool and a pack of blades for cleaning
the griddle surface.
- 1 Flat Blade (pack) - 1 Ribbed Blade (pack) and 2 handles for Ribbed Heavy Duty Griddle.
- 1 Flat Blade (pack) and I handle for Smooth Heavy Duty Griddle.
NEVER use the ribbed scraper blade on the flat chrome surfaced griddle plate.
Replacement blades and handles can be purchased separately. Refer to the 'Replacement
Parts List' at the rear of the manual.
DO NOT use water on the griddle plate while this item is still hot as warping and
cracking may occur. Allow the griddle plate to cool down before cleaning
.
NOTE:
•
DO NOT use abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic detergents as they could
corrode or damage the griddle.
•
In order to prevent the forming of rust on the griddle plate (Steel Plate), ensure that any
detergent or cleaning material has been completely removed after each cleaning. The
appliance should be switched on briefly to ensure the griddle plate becomes dry. Oil or
grease should be spread over the griddle surface in order to form a thin protective greasy
film.
To keep your griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow the procedures shown below:-
After Each Use
1.
Clean the griddle with the supplied scraper tools to remove any food debris.
2.
Always ensure that the scraper tool blades are changed regularly to ensure that the scraper tool
works efficiently and prevents damage to the griddle plate surface.

:
Always ensure that an even pressure is applied over the whole surface of the
scraper tool when using on the flat chromed surface of the griddle, to prevent
scoring of the surface.
NEVER bang the sharp edge of the scraper tool on the flat chromed surface of
the griddle as this will damage the chrome finish and invalidate the warranty.
