CLEANING
Allow the grill to cool before cleaning. Using the scraper provided or a stiff wire
brush, scrape the debris from the upper and then lower grill plates. To clean the grill,
scrape or brush the debris toward yourself and into the removable drip tray. Use a
cloth dampened slightly with a soap and water mixture to cl ean the stainless steel
housing, upper grill covers, spring protection cover and the drip tray. Clean the
grill thoroughly at the end of each day. Failure to do so may cause hard to remove
build up. In order to remove the build up from the grill plates, use industry standard
food service grade degreasers or grease removers. We do not recommend using
soap and water to clean the grill plates, however, if soap and water are used, the grill
will need to be re-seasoned (see below).
For tough to remove carbon buildup, use a
commercially available carbon remover.
DO NOT spray the unit with any cleaning liquid before unplugging it
DO NOT allow water to drip into the housing or around the electrical components
DO NOT immerse in water for cleaning
WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply before cleaning
RESEASONING
It may be necessary to re-season the grill after extended use and cleaning. In order
to do so, clean both plates of the grill with a clean, lint -free cloth and scraper. Apply
cooking oil or shortening onto both plates with a lint -free cloth or coat the plates
with a cooking oil spray. W ipe off excess oil with a dry, clean cloth. Turn the grill on
and set the thermostat to 400 F. Some smoking may occur during the re-seasoning
process. When the grill reaches the desired temperature (the red light will go out),
turn the grill off and allow it to cool. W ipe off the excess oil from the surface of the
plates. Repeat the re-seasoning process one more time. The grill is now re-seasoned
and ready to use.
You should inspect all parts on a regular basis to ensure that all is in proper working order. If a
part is damaged, have the unit repaired by an authorized service agency prior to returning the
unit to operation. If you have trouble locating a service agency in your area, please consult our
