CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DRIP TRAYS & DRAIN TUBES

If you have a griddle or a grill there will be a tray liner. The drip trays are made of stainless steel. The drip

trays are on rollers so they are easy to remove and

replace. To remove, pull the tray forward. 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 allow

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. A mild abrasive cleaner such as

Bon-Ami or Soft Scrub can be used. For stubborn stains use a soap filled steel wool pad, or a harsh abrasive such as: Comet® or Ajax®, rubbing lightly. Rinse all parts thoroughly.

GRIDDLE

Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles, using a square edged spatula, while it is still hot. 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 store), following the manufacturers’ directions. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry. If hot soapy water, vinegar, scouring powder, steel wool or metal scouring pads are used to clean the griddle, it must be re-seasoned. Follow the directions on page 14 to reseason the griddle.

NEVER FLOOD THE HOT GRIDDLE WITH COLD WATER. This could cause the griddle to crack or warp.

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 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 over a layer of newspaper, which can be thrown away.

CONTROL KNOBS - COOKTOP AND OVEN

These are plastic and can be cleaned in hot, soapy water. To remove the knobs from the control panel, grasp the knob and pull straight back towards you and away from the grill. 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 does not. The oven and griddle control knobs are similar, they both have temperatures on them, oven knob has a “Broil” setting, the griddle does not.
