MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Continued
Abrasives should not be used – in order to maintain
continuous cleaning action, it is very important to avoid
the use of abrasive materials such as steel wool scouring
pads, abrasives or sharp implements which can cause
permanent damage to the surface coating. In addition,
oven cleaners such as "Easy-Off" or Dow Oven Cleaner"
will clog the "PORES" of the special coating and will retard
the cleaning action.
4. Periodic "Tune-Up" – Although the oven appears clean,
we recommend operating the oven at high heat for 2
hours approximately once each month. This will insure
against build-up of solids in hard to see places and in the
pores of the coating.
Griddle Cleaning
Do Not use water on griddle tops while still hot or do not
cool by using ice! This will cause griddle plate to warp and
possibly crack. This is not a factory defect.
To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle
products, keep griddle free from carbonized grease.
Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of
heat from the griddle surface to food product. This results
in uneven browning and loss of cooking efficiency, and
worst of all, carbonized grease tends to cling to the griddle
foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing
appearance. To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak
performance, follow these simple instructions.
A. After Each Use clean griddle thoroughly with a grill
scraper or spatula. Wipe off any excess debris left from
cooking process.
B. Once a Day clean griddle surface with a grill brick and
grill pad. Remove grease container and clean thoroughly,
in same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.
C. Once a Week clean griddle surface thoroughly. If
necessary, use a grill stone or grill pad over the griddle
surface. Rub with grain of the metal while still warm.
A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help
clean it, but care must be taken to be sure it is thoroughly
removed. After removal of detergent, the surface of the
plate should be covered with a thin film of oil to prevent
rusting. To remove discoloration, use a non-abrasive
cleaner. Before re-using the griddle must be reseasoned.
Keep griddle drain tube to grease container clear at all
times on those models without side grease container.
Part # 3052000 (09/16/09)
CAUTION: This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is
relatively soft and can be scored or dented by careless use
of spatula. Be careful not to dent, scratch or gouge the
plate surface. This will cause food to stick in those areas.
Also, note, since this is a steel griddle if a light coating of oil
is not always present rust will develop on unexposed areas.
Open Top Burners
Periodically burners should be removed and cleaned with
soap and hot water. You may soak the burner in a bucket of
hot soapy water and brush off any burnt on grease or debris.
Allow the cast iron burner to dry thoroughly before installing
into the range. If the burner ports are blocked or plugged
with grease, it will be necessary to clear the ports with a wire
or blunt instrument.
Cast Iron Top Grates
Cast Iron Top Grates can be cleaned with mild soap and
warm water. For baked on material, a wire brush can be
used. Dry thoroughly. Lightly coat with vegetable oil to help
prevent rust from forming.
Seasoning of the top grates will be required whenever the
grates have been cleaned. Failure to season grates will cause
rusting.
Cast Iron Hot tops and Spectro-Heat Tops
DO NOT use water on tops while still hot or Do not cool by
using ice!
While the surface is still slightly warm, wipe down with a
clean burlap cloth. Burnt on spillage should be scraped off. If
necessary, remove the plate and wash in a sink with soap and
hot water. Dry thoroughly. In damp climates, wipe down with
a light coating of oil to prevent rusting. Avoid excessive use
of water as this could damage the surface and the control
below.
NOTE: Cast Iron Hot Tops & Spectro-Heat Tops surface will
"tone" (blue/brown discoloration) from heat. This toning will
not diminish function or operation and is not a defect.
