To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow these procedures:
AFTER EACH USE
Clean the griddle cooking surface accordingly to the type of surfa ce on your model. See
the specific cleaning instructions by cooking surface finish. Empty the grease drawer
throughout the day as needed.
ONCE PER DAY
Thoroughly clean the griddle back splash, sides and front. Do not hit the backsplash with
a spatula or any other tool. This may create a gap between the splash and griddle plate
that is hard to clean. Remove, empty and wash the grease drawer in the same manner as
an ordinary cooking utensil.
ONCE PER WEEK
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly per the instructions for the surface finish of your
particular model. After cleaning the plate, the griddle should be seasoned according to
the instructions in this manual.
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. To
remove discoloration, use a griddle cleaner.
If the griddle usage is very high, consider conducting this weekly cleaning procedure
more than once per week.
CLEANING THE STANDARD STEEL GRIDDLE PLATE COOKING SURFACE
AFTER EACH USE
Clean the griddle cooking surface regularly with a griddle scraper during the work shift.
ONCE PER DAY
Turn the griddle off and allow it to cool down between 275°F -300°F, apply room
temperature water and clean it with a griddle scraper.
ONCE PER W EEK
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. Use a griddle brick, screen, or Scotch Bright
™ pad
on the surface as necessary. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still
warm (not hot). A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help clean it, but be sure
the detergent is thoroughly removed by flushing with clear water. After cleaning, reseason
the cooking surface according to the instructions in this manual. If the griddle usage is
very high, consider conducting this weekly cleaning procedure more than once per week.
