grate until the feet

the center ring of
the large grate.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your appliance must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Porcelain Parts (Grate)
Allow the grate and grate support to cool to a safe temperature
level. Wipe up spillovers as soon as possible after they occur and before
they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. The grate and grate
support are coated with a porcelain enamel finish for durability. Wash in
hot, soapy water and rinse clean. For stubborn stains, use a mild
abrasive cleanser or non-abrasive soap-filled pad. Abrasive cleansers
used vigorously or too often can eventually scratch and harm the enamel.
Cast Iron Burner
For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the
electric igniter and burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean these only
when the flame does not burn blue completely around all rings of the
burner, when there is a severe spillover or when the burner does not
light, even though the electric spark igniter sparks.

Clean the burner by scraping off burned on food soil. Use a wire, a
straightened paper clip, or needle to clean the ports. Do not use a
toothpick; it could break off in the port. Be sure the venturi tube
remains dry.
Orifice
Wok Pan w/Lid
Wash the wok after each use in hot, soapy water. Do not use
harsh abrasives or scouring pad as they can harm the protective
seasoning. Dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the
inside surface with a paper towel. Place over medium heat for 15 - 30
seconds. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Wipe off excess oil
before storing in an inside cabinet. Do not store the wok pan and lid
outdoors.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with hot, soapy
water at the end of each cooling period or with a liquid cleaner
designed for stainless steel when soapy water will not do the job. DO
NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cleansers, cloths, or powders. If it is
necessary to scrape the stainless to remove encrusted materials, soak the
area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a nylon spatula or
scraper. DO NOT USE a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to
scrape stainless steel. Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on
the stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless
steel.
