Vulcan painted surfaces may be cleaned using a soft cloth and mild detergent solution.
Ranges
Daily:
While still warm, wipe top with a soft cloth or other grease absorbing material to remove spillovers,
grease, etc., before they burn in. A crust on top of the hot top range looks unsightly and slows down
cooking speed because it reduces the flow of heat to the utensil.
Empty the grease pan daily or as often as necessary. CAUTION: Remove the grease pan slowly and
be careful of liquid wave action. It is recommended that the grease pan be emptied whenever it
is
3
⁄4 filled.
The drip shield, grids and grease pan should be washed with a mild grease-dissolving
solution.
Clean cast iron open top grates with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a
clean, water-absorbent towel. Immediately after drying (with grates still removed from the range top),
season grates lightly with liquid vegetable or Pam
®
spray-type cooking oil.
After seasoning, replace grates onto the range. Turn all open top sections ON LOW and allow them
to burn for at least 15 minutes before using pots or pans on the range top.
Season the open top grates after each cleaning. Failure to season grates will cause grates to
rust.
Weekly:
Boil burners in a solution of washing soda. Rinse and dry parts thoroughly. Flash rusting may occur.
This is a normal condition and will not affect performance or the product.
When reinstalling the burner back onto the range, be sure the burner heads are properly connected.
Do not light the pilot or turn burner valve ON with the burner head removed.
Griddle Plate
Cleaning the griddle section will produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products and will
keep the cooking surface free from carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the
transfer of heat to the food. This results in loss of cooking efficiency and spotty browning which gives
foods an unappetizing appearance. To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow
these simple instructions:
After Each Use:
Carefully clean griddle with wire brush or flexible spatula.
Daily:
Thoroughly clean backsplash, sides and front. Remove grease drip tray and pan, empty and wash out
in the same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.
Clean griddle surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a griddle stone, wire brush or steel wool over the
surface. Rub with the grain of the metal while still warm. A detergent may be used on the plate surface
to help clean it, but the cleaner must be thoroughly removed. After removal of detergent, the surface
of the plate must be reseasoned with a thin film of oil to prevent rusting and food sticking.
If the griddle is to be shut down for an extended period, put a heavy coat of grease over the griddle plate.
