accumulation, which include excess smoke; flare ups;
fires and sub-par product.
2. The grease trough and chute should be kept clean during
daily operations to prevent grease from accumulating
near the cook surface. If necessary, stagnant grease and/
or food particles should be directed to the grease chute
using a standard 3” wide turner. If necessary, this turner
can also be used to push items/grease in the grease
chute down into the grease drawer.
3. The grease drawer(s) should be emptied periodically
during daily operations. Every environment differs,
so the frequency of this action will vary depending on
amount and type of product being cooked. Keeping the
amount of grease in the drawer to a minimum greatly
reduces the chance of flare ups and sustained fire.
Daily Cleaning
1. Scrape and/or brush the cooking grates using the tool
provided or any other cleaning tool of preference while
the grates are still warm. Once the grates have cooled,
remove them from the unit and wash them in a hot soapy
solution. Dry the grates immediately after washing and
lightly season with non-toxic oil (liquid vegetable oil or
spray) before re-installing on the unit. Properly drying
and seasoning the grates will prevent them from rusting.
DO NOT SEASON GRATES WHILE THEY ARE ON THE
APPLIANCE. SEASONING GRATES OVER AN OPEN FLAME
MAY RESULT IN DANGEROUS FLARE UPS AND/OR A FLASH
FIRE.
2. Wire brush the radiants clean using the tool provided or
any other cleaning tool of preference. Once the radiants
have cooled, remove them from the unit and wash them
in a hot soapy solution.
3. Scrape the grease trough and chute, directing any
grease/debris into the grease drawer (s). Empty the
grease drawer(s), scraping out stubborn grease/debris.
Wash the grease drawer(s) in a hot soapy solution.
4. Once the unit has cooled, accessible stainless steel panels
should be cleaned with a hot soapy solution and/or a
food safe liquid cleaner designed to clean stainless steel.
Never spray or pour water on the unit to clean. Always
disconnect electrical power before cleaning accessible
panels.
Weekly/Periodic Cleaning
In addition to the daily cleaning tasks outlined above, the
following should be done weekly/periodically:
1. Once the unit has cooled, remove the side shields from
the unit by sliding them up and then off the shoulder
bolts. Clean the side shields with a hot soapy solution
and/or a food safe liquid cleaner designed to clean
stainless steel.
2. Remove the burners and hanging shields from the unit as
follows:
• Remove the pins at the rear of the burner
• Lift the burner peg up and out of the bracket at the rear
• Slide the burner back and off the orifice
• Angle the front of the burner down and then remove
from unit
The burners on the far left and right of the unit should be
removed last
WHEN REMOVING BURNERS FROM THE UNIT, TAKE CARE NOT
TO MOVE AND/OR BEND THE IGNITION PROBES. MOVING
OR BENDING THE PROBES CAN CRACK THE CERAMIC
INSULATING MATERIAL, ALTER THE SPARK GAP OR MISALIGN
WITH BURNER LIGHTING PORTS WHICH MAY RENDER THE
UNIT INOPERABLE.
Clean the burners and their hanging shields in a hot soapy
solution, paying attention to ensure that all burner ports
are free and clear of debris. Pay particular attention to the
small lighting holes at the front of the burner. These holes
must remain clear to ensure the appliance ignites and
functions properly.
ENSURE THE POWER SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
3. With all the components removed from the cooking
chamber, wipe down the interior with a hot soapy
solution taking care to avoid the ignition probes. With the
cooking chamber cleaned, components can be put back
in.
WHEN PUTTING THE BURNERS BACK IN THE UNIT, TAKE
CARE NOT TO MOVE AND/OR BEND THE IGNITION PROBES.
BURNERS ON THE FAR LEFT & RIGHT SIDE OF THE UNIT MUST
BE PUT IN FIRST. ENSURE THE PINS AT THE REAR ARE RE-
INSTALLED TO SECURE THE BURNERS IN PLACE.
4. Once the unit has been returned to its original state,
verify that the burners ignite correctly. Slight front to
back adjustments may be required to ensure quick and
accurate lighting after cleaning.
