Maintenance Tips
-
Daily griddle care: Scrape the 36" 1"‑thick steel griddle after each use with a scraper or grill brick to remove food residue and prevent buildup. Empty and wash the 3" grease trough and removable drawer daily for hygiene and fire‑safety.
-
Clean stainless steel surfaces: Wipe the front, sides, landing ledge, and any riser with a soft cloth and mild, non‑abrasive cleaner to protect the stainless finish and resist corrosion.
-
Oven interior & racks: After cooling, wipe the convection oven’s porcelain‑enameled interior and chrome racks to remove spills and crumbs, aiding even heating and airflow.
-
Inspect gas connections: Check fittings and lines periodically for tightness and leaks; ensure proper ventilation around the gas system for safe operation.
-
Check burner performance: If equipped with burners under the griddle or in the oven, keep ports clear of debris and verify strong, blue flame across all sections.
-
Season griddle regularly: Follow manufacturer guidance to season griddle plates before heavy use to maintain non‑stick performance and rust resistance (light oil film, low heat).
-
Annual professional service: Schedule yearly service of valves, ignition components, and thermostat calibration to sustain efficiency and address wear before failures.
