Maintenance Tips

• Scrape after each use: Remove food debris and carbonized grease with a grill scraper or spatula while the surface is warm to maintain even heat transfer and cooking performance.

• Daily cleaning: Use a grill brick or pad to clean the griddle surface and empty the grease trough/drawer to prevent buildup and reduce odors.

• Weekly deep clean: Warm the plate and use a grill stone or non‑abrasive cleaner to thoroughly clean; after rinsing, apply a thin coat of cooking oil to protect against rust and reseason if needed.

• Protect the plate: Avoid sharp or heavy metal tools that can score or dent the steel surface, as scratches promote sticking and uneven cooking.

• Check burners: Wipe spills near burners and check ignition ports; clear obstructions with a soft brush to maintain efficient flame and heat distribution.

• Professional inspection: Periodically have a qualified technician inspect gas connections, valves, and controls for safety and optimal operation.
