Closing Procedures

Step 1

Step 2
Turn the power switches to the OFF position.
Figure 32
Step 3
Wipe the release material sheet thoroughly while still
attached to the upper cook surface, using the rubber
wiper squeegee.
CAUTION: The upper cook surface and
release material sheets are very hot. To prevent
burn injuries, wear protective gloves and use
extreme care when performing this procedure.
Step 4
Remove the release material sheet from the upper
cook surface by pulling the release rods from the
release material sheet. Temporarily place the release
material sheet on a clean, flat surface for further
cleaning. DO NOT fold or crease the material or lay it
on sharp objects.
Step 5
Take the release material rods to the sink for cleaning.
Step 6
Clean the upper cook surface(s) with the special
rubber squeegee.
Note: DO NOT use metal scrapers, abrasive pads,
screens or wire brushes to clean the upper cook
surface.
Models QS11 & QS23
CAUTION: Protect eyes, lungs, and all
parts of the body from potential harm when using
any chemical cleaner.
Step 7
To clean the upper cook surface, use a spray bottle of
full strength cleaner/degreaser (i.e., Sizzler Grill Bun
and Toaster Cleaner, a Kay Chemicalr product). Hold
the bottle 6" (152 mm) away and mist the entire upper
cook surface, starting at the front. (Use a cleaner that
will not damage aluminum.) Mist one ounce of
cleaner over each upper cook surface and two ounces
on the lower cook surface. Let the cleaner soak for 3--5
minutes.
Note: One ounce of cleaner equals approximately
thirty squirts.
Step 8
Starting at the front of the upper cook surface and the
rear of the lower cook surface, rinse both surfaces with
a mist of water from a spray bottle.
WARNING! Use care not to allow water or
cleaner/degreaser on any part of the grill other
than the cook surfaces. Never use an extreme
amount of fluid to clean or rinse the grill.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in
serious electrical shock and will cause permanent
electrical and mechanical damage to internal
parts.
Step 9
Use the rubber wiper squeegee to remove excess
liquid from the upper and lower surfaces.
IMPORTANT! Do not scrape the upper surface
with metal utensils. It is aluminum and will scratch
very easily.
Step 10
Repeat Steps 7 and 8 if necessary, but apply cleaner
only to soiled areas.
Step 11
Remove any small carbon spots with the rubber
squeegee.
Step 12
Using a damp cloth, wipe down all exterior stainless
steel of the upper cook surface (especially behind the
rear of the upper cook surface, next to arm assembly).
Note: Grills should be removed from cooking alcoves
in order to clean the rear section of the upper cook
surface.
