WEEKLY CLEANING:
C.
1.
Trivets and Burners:
a.
Remove the trivet/s from the equipment.
b.
Remove the burner. Loosen the burner lock screws.
c.
Scrape off the caramelized or carbonized food debris from the trivets and burners using
soft bristled wire brush or copper brush. Ensure that food debris that was scraped off
from the burner shall not go inside the burner port holes. If any food debris went inside
the burner, it must be taken out to prevent clogging of the burner.
d.
Wash the trivets and burners with warm water and mild detergent solution. Then,
thoroughly rinse the mild detergent with warm water.
e.
Allow the interior of the burner to drain and dry thoroughly. Thoroughly dry the trivets
and burners with dry cloth or clean paper towels. Ensure that the detergent was
thoroughly rinsed off to prevent corrosion on the trivets and burners.
Caution:
When handling hot trivets and burners, always use heat insulated gloves to
prevent burns. Also, take caution when removing or handling them, since these parts are
heavy and can cause injury when they fall on your toe or foot.
f.
Once the burner is thoroughly dry, install the burner in place. Ensure that the main
burner injector is fully inserted on the burner and that the burner injector and burner are
properly aligned with each other to prevent yellow flames and other burner problems.
Then, return the burner lock screws and tighten.
2.
Drip Tray:
a.
Remove the drip tray while still warm so that the oils and grease are still in liquid state.
b.
Empty out any food debris or oils from the tray.
c.
Wash the drip tray with warm water and mild detergent solution.
d.
To remove grease and food splatter, which have BAKED on the drip tray, apply cleanser to
a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing
lines, so that it will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. Never rub with a circular
motion.
e.
Thoroughly rinse the drip tray with warm water. Ensure that no cleanser residue will be
left on the drip tray.
f.
Thoroughly dry the drip tray with a dry cloth or clean paper towels.
