If something has spilled into the trays it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent "baked on" food
soil. Grease from the griddle or the grill drains through the drain tube into the tray and liner below. Do not al-
low the grease to accumulate in the tray as it can be a fire hazard. Clean the tube and tray as soon as they are
cool. Clean with hot soapy water. For the tube use a soapy bottle brush. Ensure the drip tray is in place when
cleaning the drain tube. A mild abrasive cleaner such as Fantastik®, simple Green® or Formula 409® can be used.
(do not use steel wool pad, or a harsh abrasive such as: Comet® or Ajax®.) Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.

GRIDDlE

Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles while it is still hot, taking care not to scratch the
griddle, using a square edged spatula or brass brush. once the griddle has cooled to a lukewarm temperature,
rub the surface lightly with vegetable oil (do not use corn oil, it gets sticky). Thoroughly wipe the griddle with a
heavy coarse cloth or burlap to remove any remaining residue and food particles. If you have a grease build-up,
use one tablespoon of vinegar in a 1/2 cup of water, clean with a scouring cloth such as a Chore Boy® scouring
Cloth. For heat discoloration use a stainless steel cleaner for heat stains such as Revere Ware® stainless steel
Cleaner. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry. If food soil or residue is cooked onto the griddle, use a
griddle stone (fine grained pumice), or a griddle pan and screen cleaner (these are both available at restaurant
supply stores), following the manufacturers' directions. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry. If hot soapy
water, vinegar, or scouring powder are used to clean the griddle, it must be re-seasoned. Follow the directions
on page 14 to reseason the griddle.

GRIll
Clean the grill immediately after cooking. Turn off the burner. To protect your hand from steam and heat, wear
a barbecue mitt. scrub the grill by dipping a brass bristle barbecue brush frequently into a bowl of warm water.
The steam created softens the food particles and assists the cleaning process. The food particles will drop into
the drip tray or into the radiant tray holding the radiants. Be sure to clean the drain tube, drip tray and liner after
they have cooled. Follow directions above. The radiant tray and radiants, should be removed periodically (when
cool) and shaken gently over a layer of newspaper, which can be thrown away.
CONTROl kNObS - OVEN AND COOkTOp
These are die-cast metal with plastic grips and can be cleaned in hot, soapy water. To remove the knobs from the
control panel, grasp the knob and pull straight towards you and away from the range. Wash, do not soak. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. It is important to replace these knobs on the correct gas valve on the control panel. The
cooktop and grill control knobs are similar, the cooktop knobs have a setting for "simmer", the grill knob does
not. The oven and griddle control knobs are similar, they both have temperatures on them, the oven knob has a
"Broil" setting, the griddle does not.
