Cleaning - Vulcan-Hart MG12 Installation & Operation Manual

CLEANING

®
Do not use Dawn dish detergent to clean the exterior or interior components of the range.
Do not use scouring powder; it is extremely difficult to remove completely and can build up
accumulations that will damage the oven. Vulcan painted surfaces may be cleaned using a soft
cloth and mild detergent solution.
Ranges
Daily
While still warm, wipe top with a soft cloth or other grease absorbing material to remove
spillovers, grease, etc., before they burn in. A crust on top of the hot top range looks unsightly
and slows down cooking speed because it reduces the flow of heat to the utensil.
Empty the grease pan daily or as often as necessary. It is recommended that the grease pan be
¾
emptied whenever it is filled. The drip shield, grids and grease pan should be washed with a
mild grease-dissolving solution.
Remove the grease pan slowly and be careful of liquid wave action.
Clean cast iron open top grates with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry
with a clean, water-absorbent towel. Immediately after drying (with grates still removed from the
®
range top), season grates lightly with liquid vegetable or Pam spray-type cooking oil.
After seasoning, replace grates onto the range. Turn all open top sections ON LOW and allow
them to burn for at least 15 minutes before using pots or pans on the range top.
Season the open top grates after each cleaning. Failure to season grates will cause grates to
rust.
Weekly
Boil burners in a solution of washing soda. Rinse and dry parts thoroughly. Flash rusting may
occur. This is a normal condition and will not affect performance or the product.
When reinstalling the burner back onto the range, be sure the burner heads are properly
connected. Do not light the pilot or turn burner valve ON with the burner head removed.
Griddle Plate
Cleaning the griddle section will produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products and
will keep the cooking surface free from carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface
hinders the transfer of heat to the food. This results in loss of cooking efficiency and spotty
browning which gives foods an unappetizing appearance. To keep the griddle clean and
operating at peak efficiency, follow these simple instructions:
After Each Use
Carefully clean griddle with wire brush or flexible spatula.
