CLEANING, CARE & MAINTENANCE
Attention to regular care and maintenance will ensure long and trouble free
operation of your Grill Station. Although scheduled servicing is not required we do
recommend you adopt a program of regular maintenance to ensure that the Grill
Station is clean and functional and to avoid inadvertently damaging the unit.
Daily cleaning should be considered mandatory for all cooking equipment. In order
to ensure the cooking plates are cleaned properly and to avoid damage the
instructions below should be followed.
Plates should be seasoned as per the instructions when the machine is first
purchased. Generally, this should only ever need to be done once. This
“seasoning” of the plates reduces food product sticking, protects the plates,
and helps to maintain the foods flavour.
Plates should be cleaned at the end of each day using a soft cloth dampened
with only hot soapy water, with the machine
turned OFF
but
while the plates
are still warm.
Do not under any circumstances use abrasive cleaning
compounds or caustic cleaning agents.
NEVER
put cold water or ice on hot plates at a medium to high temperature.
This may cause the plates to buckle due to the sudden change in
temperature.
NON STICK COATED (T) SERIES
Plates should be cleaned at the end of each day using a soft cloth dampened
with only hot soapy water, with the machine
turned OFF
but
while the plates
are still warm.
Any stubborn cooking residue should be carefully removed by gently
scrubbing with a Nylon scrubber or scraper. We recommend the use of Nylon
scrubbers.
Do not under any circumstances use any metal or abrasive
scrubbers or cleaners on non-stick coated plates.
UNITS WITHOUT NON STICK
We recommend the use of Nylon scrubbers when cleaning and scrubbing the
plates, as the use of metal scrapers or highly abrasive scrubbers (such as
steel wool) can prematurely wear and damage the plates.
Using the scourer in the heel of your palm, you can put the weight of your
upper torso behind the scrub and easily remove any built up residue.
Do not
scrub back the plates too far!
If you scrub them so far back that they are
shiny again, then you will need to re-season the plates. Remember that a
light clean regularly is much easier than trying to remove a large build-up of
burnt on food and carbon. Occasionally you may find that the plates have
become very difficult to clean. Should this occur, and only if necessary, use a
NON-CAUSTIC
oven cleaner, leaving it on for no longer than 30 seconds and
if necessary repeat. Ensure all
cleaner
residue
is removed.
(
Note:
some cleaning products are not as non-caustic as they say)
