CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
• DO NOT use any abrasive or flammable cleaning fluids.
•
DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of the hot plate, excluding the catch tray.
• NEVER use a scrubber pad (on all exterior surfaces, except the hot plate plate), steel wool or abrasive
material, or cleaners containing chlorine, iodine and ammonia or bromine chemicals as these will
deteriorate the stainless steel and shorten the life of the unit.
IF CLEANING ALL THE HOT PLATE’S SURFACES, THE MAIN GAS VALVE MUST BE SWITCHED
TO THE CLOSED POSITION. AFTER CLEANING, THE GAS LINE CAN BE SWITCHED BACK TO
THE OPEN POSITION. PLEASE FOLLOW THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL TO
RELIGHT THE HOT PLATE’S PILOT LIGHTS AS NEEDED.
