INFRARED CHEESE MELTER

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Shut off the gas supply to the appliance before cleaning or performing maintenance on any gas appliance.

The appliance may be equipped with a restraint device to limit its movement in order to prevent damage to the gas connection. If disconnection of this restraint is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning or maintenance, reconnect the restraint when the appliance is moved back to its original installed position.

Blodgett Range equipment is sturdily constructed of the best materials and is designed to provide durable service when treated with ordinary care. To provide the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and cleaned daily. Naturally, the periods for this care and cleaning depend on the amount and degree of usage.

Following daily and periodic maintenance procedures will enhance long life for your equipment. Climatic conditions (such as salt air) may require more thorough and frequent cleaning or the life of the equipment could be adversely affected.

Keep exposed, cleanable areas of Cheese Melter clean at all times. (See next page for instructions on cleaning stainless steel and baked-enamel surfaces.)

DAILY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To prevent excess smoking, the Cheese Melter grid, bottom grease drawer, and the other Cheese Melter components must be kept clean of food remnants. Use a wire brush or similar scraping utensil. DO NOT use steel wool or a similar scrub pad that will leave small particles, which can get into food. The daily cleaning procedure is as follows:

1.Remove the Cheese Melter grids and clean them with a wire brush or non-toxic solvent.

2.Remove the bottom grease drawer and clean it.

3.Check that nothing has been placed on top of the Cheese Melter (which will block the escape of combustion exhaust).

4.Check that the air-intake openings on the rear of the Cheese Melter are not obstructed.

MONTHLY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The following tasks should be performed monthly:

1.Check for proper pilot operation. The flame on each pilot should be just large enough to extend along the flame carrier to the burner surface. If adjustment is necessary, call for service.

2.Check for proper burner operation. When the burner control is set to HIGH, the ceramics should glow red and the flame on the surface of the ceramics should be barely visible, with little or no blue haze. When the burner control is set to LOW, the surface of the ceramics should glow very dull red and the flame should have a blue-haze color. If flame should flutter or “pop”, adjust to higher temperature setting.

SEMIANNUAL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

At least twice a year the venting system should be examined and cleaned.

STAINLESS-STEEL SURFACES

To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel surfaces that operate at LOW temperature, use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

To remove BAKED-ON grease and food splatter, or condensed vapors; apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on the metal. Rubbing cleanser, as gently as possible, in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits, which do not respond to the above procedure, can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL
