Cleaning and Maintenance
Daily Cleaning
1.
Grease / spill trays should be checked and emptied frequently to prevent overflow and spillage.
Remove grease drawer while still warm so that grease is in a liquid state. Empty any grease from
drawer and wash thoroughly in same manner as any cooking utensil.
2.
Remove burner caps and bases, trivets and thoroughly clean splash back, interior and exterior
surfaces of range with hot water, a detergent solution and a soft scrubbing brush.
3.
Brush griddle surface (optional - if fitted) with a soft bristled brush. Any carbon deposits should be
removed using a scraper tool followed by wiping with a cloth to prevent build up of food deposits.
4.
Dry range thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
Weekly Cleaning
NOTE:
If range usage is very high, we recommend that weekly cleaning procedure is carried out
on a more frequent basis.
Ensure that protective gloves are worn during cleaning process.
DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic detergents as they will
damage range and burners.
DO NOT use water on trivets, griddle plates and burners while they are still hot as cracking
may occur. Allow these items to cool and remove for cleaning.
DO NOT clean burners in a dishwasher.
Range Cooking Area
a. Clean the range cooking area using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent and hot water
solution.
b. Baked on deposits or discolouration may require a good quality stainless steel cleaner or stainless
steel wool. Always apply cleaner when appliance is cold and rub in direction of grain.
c. It should not be necessary to remove splash guards covering burner manifolds for cleaning
purposes. These can be cleaned in situ.
d. Remove grease tray and clean with a mild anti bacterial detergent and hot water solution using a
soft bristled brush.
Clean control panel with a damp cloth moistened with a solution of mild
detergent and water.
e.
Dry the grease tray thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Griddle Plate - (Steel)
NOTE: In order to prevent rust forming on griddle plate, ensure detergent or cleaning material
has been entirely removed after each cleaning process. Appliance should be
switched on briefly to ensure griddle plates become dry. Oil or grease should be
spread over griddle surface in order to form a thin protective greasy film.
a. Remove and clean grease / spill trays frequently to prevent over spills.
b. Clean griddle surface thoroughly with optional scraper tool or a wire brush. Use a griddle stone
or a scotch bright pad on griddle surface to remove stubborn or accumulated carbon deposits.
c. A scraper tool can be used to remove stubborn carbon and deposits.
d. Occasionally bleach griddle plate with vinegar when plate is cold.
e. Clean with hot water, a mild detergent solution and a scrubbing brush. Dry all components
thoroughly with a dry cloth.
f.
Switch griddle ‘On’ briefly to ensure that griddle plate is dry. Spread a thin smear of cooking oil
over griddle to form a protective film.
Always ensure that an even pressure is applied over whole surface of scraper
tool when using on flat surface of griddle, to prevent scoring of griddle surface.
NEVER bang sharp edge of scraper tool on flat surface of griddle as this will
damage griddle and invalidate the warranty.
