IMPORTANT: At the end of each day's operation, turn all temperature controls to "OFF."
NEVER clean any electrical unit by immersing it in water.
After each cooking load, scrape the griddle surface with a scraper or rigid spatula to remove excess fat and
food particles.
Once a day, or whenever necessary, thoroughly clean and wipe out grease trough. As necessary during
use, wipe out accumulated material to provide good drainage. Remove the grease receptacle, empty and
wash.
CAUTION: Turn off the griddle and allow it to cool before cleaning. Hot surfaces can burn.
!
Avoid contacting hot surfaces.
Clean all stainless surfaces with warm soapy water. Use a sponge or soft cloth, wipe clean and dry. Do not
use abrasive cleaners since this might damage the stainless finish. If the stainless steel surfaces become
discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the finish grain. Never use vinegar or corrosive
cleaner. Do not use steel wool, steel wool may leave particles that can rust and cause pitting. To remove
the control knobs for cleaning, pull straight out. Wash in soapy water. Rinse, dry and replace on the shaft.
KEEP GRIDDLE PLATE SURFACE CLEAN. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle
products, keep the griddle free of carbonized grease.
Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to food. This results
in spotty browning and loss of cooking efficiency; and, worst of all, carbonized grease tends to cling to the
griddled foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance. To keep the griddle clean
and operating at peak efficiency, follow these simple instructions.
After each use, clean the griddle with a wire brush or flexible spatula.
Each week, or whenever necessary, clean the griddle surface thoroughly. If desired, use a pumice or
griddle stone over the surface. Rub with the 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 the detergent is thoroughly removed.
After removal of the detergent, the surface of the plate should then be covered with a thin film of oil to
prevent rusting. Avoid steel wool. After each thorough cleaning, the cooking surface must be reseasoned.
