waste hole in the grease trough (front of the griddle cooking
surface). After each 2 - 3 orders, wipe the griddle surface with a
light coat of oil.

a. Keep the ventilator fan
ON.
b. Set griddle temperature control to 220ºF. Allow the griddle
temperature to drop to 220ºF before proceeding.
c. Pour a small amount of water on the griddle surface and let it
"sizzle".
d. Use a pumice stone or griddle brick to remove all remaining
waste, and to clean the griddle surface down to bright metal.
Wipe off any remaining powder residue.
e. Use a soft-bristled fiber brush in a circular motion to remove any
remaining food particles.

cool, then wipe the surface with a clean cloth.

thoroughly cleaned. Using a scraper, remove all grease and
food waste from the grease trough and into the grease drawer.
