from the pilot.
Griddle Top
Empty grease daily. Clean griddle top regularly.
KEEP GRIDDLE PLATE SURFACE CLEAN. To produce evenly cooked, browned products, keep
griddle free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from
the griddle surface to food. This results in spotty browning and loss of cooking eciency, and
carbonized grease tends to stick to the griddled foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and
unappetizing appearance.
To keep the griddle clean, follow these simple instructions:
After Each Use
Clean griddle with a wire brush or exible spatula.
Daily
1. Thoroughly clean backsplash, sides and front. Remove grease drawer, empty it and wash it out
in the same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.
2. Clean griddle surface thoroughly. Use a griddle stone, wire brush or stainless steel wool on the
surface. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still warm. A detergent may be used
on the plate surface to help clean it, but you must ensure the detergent is thoroughly removed.
3. Clean stainless surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. To remove
discolorations, use a non-abrasive cleaner.
