Cleaning During Operations

1. It is important to clean the grates periodically during
SCRAPER SIDE - FITS
CONTOURS OF GRATES
2. The grease trough and chute should be kept clean
PPE
Approved Personal
Protective Equipment
Must be worn
3. The grease drawer(s) should be emptied periodically
Do not attempt to clean the grates by burning off
grease/debris. The cooking grates on this unit are
shielded from open fl ame by the radiants. Attempting
to burn off grease/debris will likely have the opposite
eff ect and cause the grease/debris to stick even more.
When cleaning cast iron components such as the
cooking grates; radiants; and burners, do not handle
these components roughly. Dropping them on the fl oor
or in the sink may cause them to crack and/or break.
Cast iron components are susceptible to cracking/
breaking if they are thermally shocked. Do not expose
hot cooking grates, radiants; and/or burners to cold
water. These components must be allowed to properly
cool before they are washed with water.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleaners or
powders to clean stainless steel. Do not use a metal
scraper, knife or other tool to scrape stainless steel.
Doing so may cause permanent damage to the stainless
steel material.

during daily operations to prevent grease from
accumulating near the cook surface. If necessary,

turner. If necessary, this turner can also be used to push
items/grease in the grease chute down into the grease
drawer.
