MEMBRANES AND CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO

CAUTION: A COMMERCIAL LIQUID GRIDDLE CLEANER IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE OR CHARBROILER UNDER THE CLAMSHELL®

WHICH IS HARMFUL TO THE CLAMSHELL® BURNER TILES.
NOTICE: Do not spray any liquids on to the tiles, or wipe the tiles with any materials.
Liquids and direct contact on the tiles can damage them.
8.1 Weekly Cleaning
• The Clamshell® tiles are self cleaning, which is accomplished by leaving the Clamshell® on with no
product being cooked, thus allowing the heat of the broiler to burn debris from the tiles.
• To clean the Clamshell®, start with a clean griddle plate.
• Turn off the griddle/charbroiler thermostats and wait until the griddle/charbroiler is cool.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE YOUR HAND TO CHECK GRIDDLE/CHARBROILER
TEMPERATURE.
• Lower the Clamshell® and let it run for 45 minutes, then raise the Clamshell® and ensure the blower motor
continues to blow cooling air through the burner tiles (Do not unplug or turn off Clamshell® power).
• Once the Clamshell® has cooled, wipe ash from around the burner tiles. Take care not to touch the burner
tiles with the cleaning rag.
NOTICE: Do not spray any liquids on to the tiles, or wipe the tiles with any materials.
Liquids and direct contact on the tiles can damage them.
8.2 Burner Air Shutter Adjustment
• The air shutters are pre-set at the factory, and should not need adjustment. However, if adjustments are be
required, contact your local authorized service station for instructions.
8.3 Disconnecting Power from Blower Motor
If power is to be removed from the blower motor, the following must be completed:
The gas to the base unit and the gas to the Clamshell® must be turned off.
The base unit must be cooled below 200°F.
