Salamander; Ovens; Griddles; After Each Use - Garland S680 series Installation, Operating And Service Instructions

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Continued

Salamander

1. Clean the salamander racks as soon as possible after
cooking with tomato or vinegar based products,
which have a high acid content. These foods can
cause pitting of the rack surface.
2. Drain and clean drip tray frequently. Excessive oil
drain off can cause spillover.

Ovens

Clean the oven racks and guides with hot soapy water
and dry thoroughly. Clean the oven interior with oven
cleaner following instructions.

Griddles

After Each Use

1. Using a traditional 2 1/2" – 3" (64mm –76mm)
scraper or spatula, scrape the griddle surface (to
remove food particles and oil residues) towards
the grease trough using even front to back strokes.
Deposit debris into the chute.
2. Pour shortening or oil onto the griddle surface using
straight front to back motion. Clean the griddle
using a griddle stone or grill screen. Always wipe
with the grain of the steel, never sideways.
3. Using a clean cloth, rub a thin and even layer of oil
into the griddle surface.
4. Remove the grease drawer, empty and wash
thoroughly with soap and water. Replace.

Griddle Do's & Don'ts
Do's
1. Season the griddle. This will prevent food from
sticking and make it easier to keep the surface
clean.
2 Keep the surface clean. Scraping the surface
thorough out production to clear foods and oils
prevents build up and will make it easier to keep
the surface clean.
3. Turn the temperature down during slow periods.
Reducing the temperature or turning sections off
during slow times will conserve energy and prevent
the plate from overheating.
Don'ts
1. Do not use salt to clean the griddle surface, Salt is
corrosive and can cause pitting of the griddle.
2 Do not allow metal utensils (Spatula, scraper, etc.)
to nick and/or dent the surface of the griddle. The
edges of these utensils are sharp and will create
divots that oil can collect and caramelize with will
cause sticking.
