CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
continued
Daily Cleaning:
Warning: The upper platen surface and edges are very hot!
To prevent burn injuries, use extreme caution when wiping
down release sheets and platen edges.
1. Press the CLEAN button, or or to obtain the menu
item “CLEAN MODE.”
2. Press to acknowledge that Clean Mode is desired. This
will cause the appliance (grill and platen, if selected) to
heat to the Clean Temperature.
3. “READY TO CLEAN” will be displayed when the grill is at
the proper cleaning temperature and an audible alarm
will sound.
4. To exit Clean Mode, press . Display will show “OFF.””
5. Wearing protective gloves, empty and replace the grease
troughs.
6. Wipe down the exposed surface of the release sheet with
a clean, damp cloth.
Note: the edge of the grill above the grease troughs gets a
build up of grease, wipe down every time the grease bucket
is emptied. CAUTION this edge is hot.
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. (Note: use very limited cleaning
solution on top of platens)
12. After applying the grill cleaner, lightly scrub the platen
surface, and all four 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 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. Do not
use excessive water on the top of the platens.
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.
B) Rinse both sides of the sheets with a clean, wet cloth.
18. Rinse the lower grill by flooding the surface twice with
lukewarm water. Squeegee after each rinse.
19. Wipe the lower grill surface, backsplash, bullnose, and
hood with a clean, damp cloth.
20. When cleaning is completed, you may turn the “MASTER
POWER” (rocker) switch off.
AFTER CLEANING, apply a thin coat of fresh shortening
to the lower grill surface only. Wipe down the
surrounding areas. Empty, wash, rinse, and replace the
grease troughs.
