CAUTION
CLEANING
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHOME SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top efficiency.
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then carbonize into a hard
substance which is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent this condition, the following suggestions
for cleanliness should be followed:
1. After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or flexible spatula to remove excess grease
and food. A waste drawer is provided for the drippings. If there is an accumulation of burned
on grease and food, the griddle should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned. Use pumice
or griddle stone while the griddle is warm. Do not use steel wool because of the danger of steel
slivers getting into the food.
2. Daily, use a clean cloth and a good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of
the griddle. Wipe the polished front with a soft cloth.
3. At least once a day, remove the waste drawer and wash in the same way as an ordinary cooking
utensil. The drawers are removed by pulling forward until they are released from their track.
GRIDDLE CARE (CHROME SURFACES)
(Chrome surface griddles are marked with “CHS” at the end of the model number designation on the
nameplate.) It takes very little time and effort to keep this Industrial Chrome griddle surface sparkling
clean and performing at top efficiency. DO NOT allow grease to accumulate as it will carbonize and
become difficult to remove. To prevent this condition, the following cleaning suggestions should be
followed:
1. Remove excess oil and food regularly with a 4” (100mm) wide razor sharp type scraper and
wipe surface with a damp cloth if desired.
2. Following the scraping, for end of the day cleaning, a damp cloth and a non-silicated, non-
abrasive, non-chlorinated cleaner such as Bon-Ami may be used to wipe surface clean, followed
by wiping with clean wet cloth.
3. Follow steps 2 and 3 from Griddle Care (Non-Chrome Surfaces).
ON CROME SURFACES:
1.
Never
use pumice, griddle stones, or abrasives on the surface.
2.
Never
strike the griddle surface with a sharp instrument or spatula edge.
3.
Never
use steel wool.
4.
Never
use commercial liquid grill cleaner on the griddle surface.
5. Abusing the surface voids the warranty.
GREASE DRAWER
A grease drawer is located at the front can be removed for cleaning by pulling drawer forward. This
drawer contains hot grease and should be checked and emptied when necessary or at least once a
day.
EXERCISE EXTREME CARE IN HANDLING THE GREASE DRAWER
CONTAINING HOT GREASE.
Never pour large amounts of water onto a hot griddle surface, the sudden
temperature change generated by the steam can cause the surface to warp
and possibly the thermal sensors in your hood fire suppression system to
discharge. Instead follow the cleaning procedures in this manual.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
Contact the factory, a service representative, or a local service company for service or required
