To keep the griddle clean and food flavors at their best, scrape the
griddle after preparing each order. Scrape excess food into the
waste hole in the grease trough (front of the griddle cooking
surface). After each 2 - 3 orders, wipe the griddle surface with a
light coat of oil.

DAILY CLEANING

1. Clean the griddle surface daily, at a minimum:
a. Set temperature control to 220ºF. Allow the griddle
temperature to drop to 220ºF before proceeding.
b. Pour a small amount of water on the griddle surface and let it
"sizzle".
c. Use a pumice stone or griddle brick to remove all remaining
waste, and to clean the griddle surface down to bright metal.
Wipe off any remaining powder residue.
d. Use a soft-bristled fiber brush in a circular motion to remove
any remaining food particles.
e. Turn temperature control to OFF. Allow the griddle surface to
cool, then wipe the surface with a clean cloth.
f. Dry the griddle surface thoroughly.
g. Season the cooking surface after each cleaning using the
instructions on page 11.
2. At least once each day, the GREASE TROUGH must be
thoroughly cleaned. Using a scraper, remove all grease and food
waste from the grease trough and into the grease drawer.
3. After scraping all cooking waste from grease trough into GREASE
DRAWER, take the grease drawer to kitchen cleaning area and
properly dispose of all waste.
a. Clean drawer with hot water and a mild detergent.
b. Dry drawer thoroughly and reinstall in griddle.

with a cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent.
