CARE AND MAINTENANCE
24
IGNITERS
Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not
to damage the igniter (see fig. 13).
DRIP TRAYS & DRAIN TUBES
If you have a griddle or a grill there will be a tray liner. The
drip trays are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are on
rollers so they are easy to remove and replace. To remove,
pull the tray forward. If something has spilled into the
trays it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to
prevent “baked on” food soil. Grease from the griddle or
the grill drains through the drain tube into the tray and
liner below.
Do not allow the grease to accumulate in the
tray as it can be a fire hazard.
Clean the tube and tray as soon as they are cool. Clean
with hot soapy water. For the tube use a soapy bottle
brush. A mild abrasive cleaner such as Bon-Ami or Soft
Scrub can be used. For stubborn stains use a soap filled
steel wool pad, or a harsh abrasive such as: Comet® or
Ajax®, rubbing lightly. Rinse all parts thoroughly.
GRIDDLE
Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food
particles, using a square edged spatula, while it is still hot.
Once the griddle has cooled to a lukewarm temperature, rub the surface lightly with vegetable oil (do
not use corn oil, it gets sticky). Thoroughly wipe the griddle with a heavy coarse cloth or burlap to
remove any remaining residue and food particles. If you have a grease build-up, use one tablespoon
of vinegar in a 1/2 cup of water, clean with a scouring cloth such as a Chore Boy® Scouring Cloth. For
heat discoloration use a stainless steel cleaner for heat stains such as Revere Ware® Stainless Steel
Cleaner. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry. If food soil or residue is cooked onto the griddle,
use a griddle stone (fine grained pumice), or a griddle pan and screen cleaner (these are both available
at restaurant supply store), following the manufacturers’ directions. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse
and dry. If hot soapy water, vinegar, scouring powder, steel wool or metal scouring pads are used to
clean the griddle, it must be re-seasoned. Follow the directions on page 15 to reseason the griddle.
NEVER FLOOD THE HOT GRIDDLE WITH COLD WATER. This could cause the griddle to
crack or warp.
