7.Remove the release sheet locking clips and bars.

8.Scrape only the lower grill surface with a grill scraper, and squeegee any residue into the grease troughs with a grill squeegee.

Caution: Do not scrape or otherwise scratch the upper platens. The use of metal scrapers, abrasive pads, or wire brushes will permanently damage the surface of the upper platens.

9.Open one packet of high-temperature grill cleaner, (several cleaners may be available on the market), and empty the contents into a suitable container. (One packet will clean one grill.)

10.Firmly attach a no-scratch pad to a pad holder.

11.Dip the no-scratch pad into the grill cleaner, and spread a light coating of grill cleaner over the entire platen surface, back, front, and side edges of both upper platens. DO NOT SCRUB.

12.After applying the grill cleaner, lightly scrub the platen surfaces, BACK, FRONT AND SIDE EDGES with the no-scratch pad until all the soil has been liquefied by the grill cleaner. For stubborn soils, apply additional grill cleaner and lightly scrub. DO NOT RINSE THE PLATENS AT THIS TIME.

13.Starting at the back of the lower grill, spread a light coating of grill cleaner over the entire surface. DO NOT SCRUB.

14.After applying the grill cleaner, lightly scrub the grill surface with the No-Scratch Pad until all the soil has been liquefied.

15.Rinse the upper platens with a dripping wet cloth.

16.Carefully pour small quantities of lukewarm water onto the grill while brushing the surface, backsplash, and bullnose with a pot brush or equivalent high-temperature brush. Continue until the water no longer boils away and the grill remains wet. Squeegee dry.

Caution: Ice, cold water, or large quantities of water must never be applied to the grill plate or upper platen. Severe damage to the grill will occur!

17.Clean the release sheets as follows:

A)Place the sheets on the lower grill. Scrub both sides of the sheets with the same no-scratch pad used on the grill.
