CLEANING THE GRIDDLE
The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning
or servicing the griddle.
Clean the griddle regularly. A clean griddle always looks better, lasts longer and performs
better. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products keep the griddle
plate clean and free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the
transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food, resulting in spotty browning and loss
of cooking efficiency. Carbonized grease tends to cling to griddle foods, giving them a
highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance.
Do not use a water-jet to clean the griddle as this can cause damage to internal electrical
components.
The standard HEG and WEG griddle plates are carbon steel, but can be scored or dented
by careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the
plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the
corner or the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. Use a griddle stone, screen, or Scotch Bright pad
on the surface as necessary. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still
warm (not hot). A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help clean it, but be sure
the detergent is thoroughly removed by flushing with clear water. After removal of
detergent the surface of the plate the griddle should be seasoned according to the
instructions in this manual.
AFTER EACH USE
Clean the griddle with a griddle scraper during the work shift. Take care not to vigorously
strike the back or side splashes with the scraper.
ONCE PER DAY
Thoroughly clean the griddle back splash, sides and front. Turn the griddle off and allow it
to cool down between 275°F-300°F, apply some water to the cooking surface and clean it
with a griddle scraper. Remove, empty and wash the grease drawer in the same manner
as an ordinary cooking utensil.
Wipe the griddle exterior clean with a damp cloth to prevent grease accumulation and dry.
