MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTONS
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Any equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your bakers Pride appliance must be kept clean too on a daily basis.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
OPEN BURNERS
1. Remove all top grates.
2. Lift off the burner heads and venturies by raising the head slightly, sliding to the rear of the
range and lifting upwards.
3. Wash off the above in hot soapy water.
4. Re-install burner parts in the reverse order.
GRIDDLES
1. Scrape with a nylon griddle scraper to remove the cooked spills. When absolutely necessary
use a fine grained stone to scrape.
2. Wipe away any griddle stone dust and food particles with burlap.
3. Wash with hot, soapy water, then rinse with vinegar and water.
4. Rinse again with clear water.
5. Re-oil with shortening or liquid frying compound.
6. DO NOT FLOOD A HOT GRIDDLE WITH COLD WATER. This could cause warping and griddle
plate to crack.
