Island Cabinets
Be sure to unplug the electrical supply before cleaning
any part of your Cal Flame barbecue. Spray cabinet
area with a soap and water solution. Rinse with a
gentle stream of fresh water.
Griddle
To prevent burns or injury, make sure the griddle is
completely cool before cleaning.
The griddle is made from non-magnetic, 304 grade
stainless steel. There are various stainless steel
cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning
procedure first, and always scrub in the direction of
the grain. Soapy water should be sufficient for most
cleaning. A sniff brush may also be helpful in removing
grime and food deposits. Wipe all area dry before
storing.
Charcoal Grill
To prevent burns or injury, make sure the grill is
completely cool before cleaning. After initial usage,
areas of the grill may discolor from the grill’s heat.
There are various stainless steel cleaners available.
Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, and
always scrub in the direction of the grain. Soapy water
should be sufficient for most cleaning.
DO NOT use oven cleaners or abrasive cleaners on
enameled surfaces. They may damage the finish,
causing accelerated wear.
Ash Removal
Remove the ashes as soon as possible after each use.
Wait until the charcoal has cooled, slide out the drip
pan and pour out the ashes. You can save the larger
pieces of charcoal for the next time you cook. Use a
garden hose to wash out accumulated grease and
ashes. Allow the drip pan to dry before reinserting into
the grill.
Cooking Grates
Use a solution equal parts detergent and hot water
just as you would for any cooking equipment. A stiff
brush may also be helpful in removing grime and food
deposits.
Hood and Body
Wipe the inside hood and body with detergent and hot
water. The external surfaces may be cleaned in the
same fashion. Wipe all area dry before storing.
Storage
For your safety, make sure unit is cool and wood and
charcoal embers completely extinguished before
storing.
Drop-in Food Warmer
To prevent burns or injury, make sure the food warmer
is completely cool before cleaning. The drop in food
warmer is made from non-magnetic, 304 grade
stainless steel. There are various stainless steel
cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning
procedure first, and always scrub in the direction of
the grain. Soapy water should be sufficient for most
cleaning. All parts of the food warmer can be cleaned
with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed with a
heavy pile cloth.. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and to
wipe dry to avoid watermarks.
Note: DO NOT use oven cleaners or abrasive cleaners
on enameled surfaces. They may damage the finish,
causing accelerated wear.
30” Food Warmer
Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance,
particularly the drawer box and back of the drawer
face. All parts of the drawer can be cleaned with
hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed with a
heavy pile cloth. Always try this first, as it is the
mildest cleaning procedure.
Be sure the warming drawer is turned off and
the appliance is cooled before using any type of
aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The
chemical that produces the spraying action could,
in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts
to corrode.
Use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Some
brands of cleaners are harsher than others, read
their directions. Try in a small area first.
To avoid marring the surface always rub the metal
finishes in the direction of the polish grain lines.
The cleaner will be more effective when used in the
direction of the polished lines.
