Cleaning and Maintenance
General
Clean the chargrill regularly. A clean chargrill looks better, will last longer and will perform better.
Carbonised grease on the cooking surface or on the chargrill will hinder the transfer of heat from the
cooking surface to the food. This will result in loss of cooking efficiency.
DO NOT use water on chargrill while this item is still hot as warping and cracking may occur.
Allow chargrill to cool down before cleaning
.
NOTE:
DO NOT use abrasive or caustic detergents or strong solvents as they could corrode or
damage the chargrill.
To prevent rust forming on the chargrill, ensure that any detergent or cleaning
material has been completely removed after each cleaning. The appliance should be
switched ‘On’ briefly to ensure the chargrill becomes dry. Spread a thin coat of oil or
grease over the chargrill surface to form a protective greasy film.
To keep your chargrill clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow the procedures shown below:-
Daily Cleaning
1.
Crumb tray(s) should be checked and emptied frequently to prevent overflow and spillage. Remove
crumb tray(s) while still warm so that grease is in a liquid state. Empty any grease from trays and
wash thoroughly in same manner as any cooking utensil.
2.
Remove grates and radiants and thoroughly clean splash back, interior and exterior surfaces of the
chargrill, with hot water, a detergent solution and a soft scrubbing brush.
3.
Brush chargrill surface with a soft bristled brush. Any carbon deposits should be removed using a
scraper tool followed by wiping with a cloth to prevent accumulation of food deposits.
4.
Dry cooking area thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
Always turn ‘Off’ the gas supply before cleaning.
This appliance is not water proof.
Do not use water jet spray to clean the interior or exterior of this appliance.
Caution
If the Chargrill is fitted with a griddle plate, if using a scraper tool to clean the
griddle plate, always apply even pressure over whole surface of the scraper
tool, to prevent scoring of griddle plate surface.
NEVER bang the sharp edge of the scraper tool on the flat surface of the griddle
plate as this will damage the griddle plate and invalidate the warranty.
