Open Top Burners

Daily

Remove grates and clean under and around open burners.

Weekly

1.Clean each burner thoroughly. Clean stainless steel or chromed surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. A detergent may be used for cleaning. To remove discolorations, use a non-abrasive cleaner, always rubbing with the grain of the metal.

2.Clean bottom drip pan. To remove drip pan, reach under and lift rear of pan about 1" (25 mm), slide pan to the rear about 1/2" (13 mm), and drop front end of pan free. Slide pan forward between the front legs. To replace pan, reverse this procedure.

3.Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean.

4.Main burner ports and throats must be thoroughly cleaned. Venturi must be free from grease and lint. To clean burners, boil them in a strong solution of lye water for 15-20 minutes, then brush with a wire brush. DO NOT insert pick in burner port hole.

5.Open burner pilot ash tubes and burner ignition port must be clear for burners to ignite properly from the pilot.

Griddle Top

Empty grease daily. Clean griddle top regularly.

KEEP GRIDDLE PLATE SURFACE CLEAN. To produce evenly cooked, browned products, keep griddle free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to food. This results in spotty browning and loss of cooking eciency, and carbonized grease tends to stick to the griddled foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance.

To keep the griddle clean, follow these simple instructions:

After Each Use

Clean griddle with a wire brush or exible spatula.

Daily

1.Thoroughly clean backsplash, sides and front. Remove grease drawer, empty it and wash it out in the same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.

2.Clean griddle surface thoroughly. Use a griddle stone, wire brush or stainless steel wool on the surface. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still warm. A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help clean it, but you must ensure the detergent is thoroughly removed.

3.Clean stainless surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. To remove discolorations, use a non-abrasive cleaner.
