Maintenance Tips

• Daily grease and rack care: Remove and empty the grease pan daily; wash it with warm, soapy water, then wipe the broiling rack after each use to remove food residue.

• Clean surfaces when cool: Wipe all stainless steel exterior and interior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild, non‑abrasive detergent; dry thoroughly to prevent water spots and corrosion.

• Burner maintenance: When cool, gently brush debris from infrared burners — do not apply water directly to burner surfaces.

• Avoid harsh abrasives: Do not use steel wool or strong abrasive cleaners that could scratch or dull the finish.

• Ventilation check: Keep the ventilation hood and surrounding space clear for proper airflow and safe operation.

• Professional servicing: Schedule annual inspection by a qualified technician for gas connections, burner performance, and overall safety.
