CARE AND MAINTENANCE
caps are porcelain enamel, follow the directions above that were given for the burner grates. A bristle brush
can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if necessary. After cleaning, it is important to make sure the
location pins on the bottom side of the port ring are properly aligned with the corresponding holes in the base.
Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance (see Fig. 67).
SIDE BURNER ELECTRODES
Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage
the electrode (see Fig. 68).
GRIDDLE
Griddle will darken when used. This is normal and needed for proper
non-stick cooking and does not require cleaning. However, the griddle
needs to be thoroughly cleaned of grease and food particles while it is
still hot, taking care not to scratch the griddle, using a nonmetal spat-
ula or brass brush. Once the griddle has cooled to a lukewarm tem-
perature, 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,
or scouring powder are used to clean the griddle, it must be re-seasoned. Follow the directions on page 30 to
reseason the griddle.
NEVER FLOOD THE HOT GRIDDLE WITH COLD WATER. This could cause the griddle to crack or warp and/or create
hot steam that can burn you.
CONTROL KNOBS
These are die-cast metal with plastic grips and can be cleaned in hot, soapy water. To remove the knobs from
the control panel, grasp the knob and pull straight back towards you and away from the appliance. Wash, do not
soak. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
SINK
In cleaning any stainless steel, always use the soft side of the sponge. If you need to use a cleaner, use a stain-
less steel cleaner/spray for stainless steel. Hard water spots can be removed by using a product like Lime-A-Way.
Always read the directions in applying any cleaner. The sink can be cleaned easily using a degreaser like Dawn
Liquid Soap that will eliminate any grease residue. There are many stainless steel spray cleaners/polishers in the
market. Remember to use the soft side of the sponge. The drain plug should be removed and cleaned after using
the sink. Place the cover on top of the sink after cleaning is done.
