Maintenance Tips

Clean Cooking Surface Regularly: After each use, turn off the griddle and let it cool. Scrape off any food debris with a griddle scraper and clean the surface with a damp cloth. For tougher residue, use a griddle cleaning pad or griddle brick.
-
Check Thermostatic Controls: Ensure the thermostatic controls are working properly by testing the griddle’s temperature. Calibrate them as needed to maintain consistent cooking temperatures.
-
Grease Gutter Maintenance: Frequently clean the 4” wide grease gutter and removable grease can to prevent grease buildup, which could cause flare-ups or unpleasant odors. Empty and wipe down the grease can after each use.
-
Deep Clean the Griddle: Periodically deep clean the griddle by heating it up, then applying a food-safe griddle cleaner. Allow it to sit, then scrub it off with a griddle brush and wipe the surface clean.
-
Inspect the Gas Connection: Check the gas line and connections for any leaks. Ensure the flame is blue, which indicates proper combustion. If the flame is yellow or orange, the burner may need cleaning or replacement.
-
Regularly Check for Gas Blockages: Inspect the burners for any food particles or grease that may have clogged the gas openings. Clean the burners with a brush or compressed air to ensure even heat distribution.
-
Maintain Exterior Cleanliness: Wipe down the stainless steel exterior of the griddle after each shift to remove grease splatters and maintain its appearance.
-
Check for Heat Distribution: Ensure the heat is evenly distributed across the cooking surface. If there are any cold spots, the burner or thermostatic controls may need adjustment or servicing.
