Cleaning Instructions
A.
General
1.
Clean the Gas Oven regularly. A clean Gas Oven looks better, will last longer and will perform
better.
2.
Carbonized grease on the trivets will hinder the transfer of heat to the food. This will result in
loss of cooking efficiency.
3.
Do not splash or use water on the trivets and burners while these items are still hot as
warping and cracking may occur. Allow these items to cool down first, and then remove for
cleaning. The trivets can be taken out for cleaning. The oven racks and drip tray can also be
taken out for cleaning.
4.
Do not use harsh abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic detergents as they could
corrode or damage your Gas Oven.
5.
In order to prevent the forming of rust on the trivets and burners, ensure that any detergent
or cleaning material had been completely removed after each cleaning.
B.
Daily Cleaning:
1.
Trivets and Burners:
a.
Remove the trivet/s from the equipment.
b.
The burner can be cleaned in its place.
c.
Scrape off the caramelized or carbonized food debris or food splatter 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.
2.
Hob Drip Tray and Griddle Drip Pan:
b.
Remove the drip tray and drip pan while still warm so that the oils and grease are still in
liquid state.
c.
Empty out any food debris or oils from the both the drip tray and drip pan.
CAUTION!
Always turn the unit OFF, and follow the lock-out/tag-out procedure before
performing cleaning and maintenance operation.
Allow the unit to cool down first, before starting any cleaning or maintenance
operation.
a.
The drip tray
of the hob and the drip pan of the griddle plate (for GL174 units), should
be checked and emptied frequently to prevent overflow and spillage.
