Maintenance Tips
-
Clean grates and cooking surfaces after each shift: Use a wire or grill brush while the grates are still warm to remove food residue and grease, preventing buildup that can cause flare-ups and uneven heat.
-
Empty and clean the grease tray daily: Accumulated grease is a fire hazard and can reduce cooking performance.
-
Deep-clean weekly: Remove grates and radiants, scrub thoroughly with a degreaser or mild detergent, rinse, dry, and reassemble.
-
Season or lightly oil grates after cleaning: This protects metal surfaces from rust and maintains non-stick performance.
-
Inspect burners and gas connections regularly: Ensure flames are even and ignition is reliable; clean clogged burner ports carefully.
-
Maintain proper ventilation: Keep the hood and exhaust system clean to manage heat and smoke safely.
