Cleaning & Periodic Maintenance
If the appliance is on casters and is connected to the
supply piping by means of a connector for movable appli-
ances, there is a restraining device at the rear of the unit.
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, reconnect
the restraint after the appliance has been returned to its
originally installed position.
CAUTION
Never use Ammonia in an Oven that is warmer
than room temperature and always have direct
ventilation.
DAILY CLEANING
Clean top grate(s) with warm water, mild cleaner and wire
brush. Clean and brush off debris from and around the
burner area. Empty and clean grease pan. Griddle plates
should be cleaned with warm water and scrubbed with
cleaning abrasive such as a griddle brick of fine grit type.
Top surface can also be ‘bleached’ with vinegar, pickle
juice or club soda when the plate is warm.
All Ovens and Salamander/Broiler:
1. Remove the baking racks. Wash in hot soapy water
and replace after the rest of the oven is cleaned.
2. Remove the oven bottom by lifting it out from the front
then sliding forward, out of the oven.
3. Scrape off any food particles with a nylon griddle
scraper. Be very careful about scratching the porce-
lain finish on the oven liner panels.
4. Wash all the above with hot soapy water, then reas-
semble.
5. Baked on spills may be loosened and stubborn stains
removed with ordinary household ammonia and
scrubbing with a nylon pad in a cold oven only.
6. Do not allow spray type oven cleaners to come into
contact with the temperature probe in the oven.
7. After cleaning the oven, rinse well with 1/4 cup of vin-
egar to one quart of clear water solution to neutralize
any caustic residue of the cleaning compound. Wipe
dry.
8. Infra-red burners, available on Cheesemelters and
Salamanders, are self-cleaning. The use of any sol-
vents or wire brushes may damage tiles.
PERIODIC CLEANING
Remove burner and clean with warm water and wire
brush. Make sure the ports are not clogged. Check valves
and lubricate, if necessary. Consult your service agency
or local Gas Company.
Cleaning Stainless Steel
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly
with hot soapy water during the day and with a liquid
cleaner designed for this material at the end of each day.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cloths,
cleaners or powders to clean stainless surfac-
es! If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel
to remove encrusted materials, soak in hot
water to loosen the material; then use a wood
or nylon scraper.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE a metal knife, spatula, or any
other metal tool to scrape stainless steel.
Scratches are almost impossible to remove.
