Daily Cleaning

To preserve the finish of the unit as well as maintain performance,
it is recommended that the unit be cleaned daily.
1. Perform the "Shutdown" procedure in the OPERATION
section of this manual.
2. Allow the unit to cool until it is slightly warm.
Use caution and wear protection when cleaning warm
griddle. Drip tray, water, and steam will be hot.
3. Using a rigid spatula, scrape the surface of the griddle to
remove all residual food and liquid, pushing it into the drip
tray.
4. Carefully, empty the drip tray into an appropriate waste bin.
5. Reinstall the drip tray. Refer to the INSTALLATION section
for details.
6. Put cool water or a few ice cubes onto the griddle, and
allow to soak for a few minutes. This will help release
cooked-on residue.
NOTE: Make sure the amount of water or ice cubes used will
not overflow out of the drip tray.
7. Using a rigid spatula, push all liquid into the drip tray.
8. Using the rigid spatula to push an abrasive pad, scrub all
remaining food residue from the griddle.
9. Wipe the griddle using a clean, damp cloth.
10. Apply a small amount of vinegar to the griddle to remove
residual flavors and odors.
11. Empty the drip tray into an appropriate waste bin. Clean
the drip tray, and reinstall onto the unit.
NOTE: Clean the griddle surface as soon as possible after
cooking salty foods. Salt left on the griddle will cause
corrosion.
12. Wipe the frame of the unit thoroughly using a non-abrasive
cloth dampened in warm water only.
13. Dry the frame of the unit using a clean, dry, non-abrasive
cloth.
NOTE: The new, stainless steel griddle surface will have a shiny
appearance. Scratches will appear on the surface after
time, which is normal. Eventually, these scratches will
blend together to give the griddle a brushed, weathered
appearance.
