Griddle
Cleaning instructions (After each use)
1. Use a traditional 2.5”-3” (64mm-76mm) scraper or spatula
to scrape the griddle surface (to remove food particles
and oil residues) towards the grease trough using even
back to front strokes.
2. Pour shortening or oil onto the griddle surface using a
straight front to back motion. Clean the griddle using a
griddle stone or grill screen. Always wipe with the grain
of the steel, never sideways.

the griddle surface.

spatula scrape the griddle surface (to remove food
particles and oil residues) towards the grease trough
using even back to front strokes.
2. Apply griddle cleaner evenly over the griddle surface and
let it sit as directed. Follow the procedures on the label of
the specific cleaning product.
3. Using a traditional scraper or spatula, slosh around the
griddle cleaner to remove the build up.
4. Scrape the griddle surface towards the grease-trough
using even back to front strokes. Repeat step 2 if
necessary.

Griddle Do’s & Don’ts
Do’s
1. Season the griddle, This will prevent foods from sticking
and make it easier to keep the surface clean.
2. Keep the surface clean. Scraping the surface throughout
production to clear foods and oils prevents build up and
will make it easier to keep the surface clean.
3. Turn the temperature down during slow periods.
Reducing the temperature or turning sections off during
slow periods will conserve energy and prevent the plate
from over heating.
Don’ts
1. Do not use salt to clean the griddle surface. Salt is
corrosive and can cause pitting of the griddle.
2. Do not allow metal utensils (Spatula, scraper, etc.) to
nick and/or dent the surface of the griddle, The edges of
these utensils are sharp and will create divots that oil can
collect in and caramelize which will cause sticking.
3. Do not use the griddle as a hot top. A large pan or pot will
trap heat and cause the griddle plate to warp.
4. Do not overheat the griddle to preheat faster. Preheating
takes 15-20 minutes.
Cleaning Burners
Griddle / Solid Hot Plate
1. Lift off the griddle plate or solid hot top. Use caution: This
will require assistance due to the weight of the griddle /
solid hot top.
2. Lift the rear of the burner and slide backwards off the
injector fitting.
3. Clean the burners in hot soapy water with a stiff
scrubbing brush.
4. Rinse and shake well to remove any debris.
5. Reassemble in the reverse order.
