Maintenance Tips
-
Clean burners, grates, trays, and removable parts daily: remove grates, wash with warm water and mild detergent, rinse, dry thoroughly, and lightly oil cast-iron grates before reinstalling to prevent rust.
-
Wipe stainless-steel exterior daily with a soft cloth and mild detergent to maintain finish and hygiene.
-
Keep burner ports clear: brush regularly to remove grease or food debris, ensuring proper gas/air mixture and stable flame.
-
Clean and season griddle or hot-top surfaces: after washing, dry completely, apply a thin coat of cooking oil, and heat slowly to protect the surface.
-
Empty grease trays, drip pans, and troughs frequently to prevent buildup and reduce fire hazards.
-
Check that the unit is level and stable: inspect adjustable legs periodically for safe operation.
-
Avoid abrasive tools or harsh chemicals that can damage stainless steel or cast-iron surfaces.
-
Allow surfaces to cool before deep cleaning and thoroughly dry all components to prevent rust or corrosion.
