Maintenance
The frame
To avoid any risk of getting burnt, we advise that you allow your griddle to cool before starting to clean the
frame.
Clean the frame with a sponge dipped in warm water and liquid detergent.
Stubborn marks can be removed with a liquid detergent.
Never clean with abrasive products or metallic brushes.
The griddles
1. After use, simply wipe the griddle. Do NOT wash the griddle. Never abruptly cool down an over-heated
griddle.
2. With time, a film forms over the griddle and it might seem that the metal is disintegrating. It is simply the
film formed when seasoning the griddle that is flaking. We advise you to thin out this film (once a month or
more depending on use). The surface will thus remain the same and a build-up of film on the griddle will be
avoided. You can use the KRAMPOUZ abrasive stone (ref. code APA1) for this operation, rubbing in
circular movements over the griddle.
Use the stone for grilling griddles too. With corrugated grilling griddles the stone will take the shape of the
griddle with use.
Do not be afraid of scratching the metal. Attention: do not polish the griddle with hand-held electric
appliances. After rubbing with the stone, it may be good to repeat the seasoning operation once or twice
(see Chapter: Seasoning of the griddle).
3. After many years, if, after seasoning, the film flakes off rapidly, you may need to get your griddle sanded
(pressure sanding). After sanding, you will need to season the griddle again.
The burner
Occasionally check the state of the burner outlet holes. If they are blocked, brush with a hard-bristle brush.
Before using again, carefully wipe the burner.
To clean the jets, we strongly advise against the use of metal objects, as it is possible they may modify the
technical features of the burner. We recommend that you dismantle the jets following the instructions given in
the chapter on Adjustments. Then soak them in a grease removing solution, rinse and dry carefully. We
advise that the washer is changed whenever the burner is dismantled and reassembled. (Fig 3 & 4)
Periodically check that the flexible tubing for the gas supply (whether mains or cylinder supplied) is in good
condition and change it if necessary.
Adjustments
1. Positioning of the air ring to 12 mm
2. The slow setting (FIG 5)
When correctly adjusted, the flame does not go out when you change quickly from maximum to minimum
position.
The flame should be as low as possible, approximately the equivalent of half a pinhead over each hole.
To adjust the slow setting, the griddle should be in place.
1. Light the burner and heat on maximum for 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Turn the knob to position 1.
3. Remove the knob by pulling it towards you.
4. The adjustment screw located in the middle of the tap axis can be reached by using a small screwdriver.
5. Watching the flame beneath the griddle, unscrew to increase the slow setting, tighten the screw to
decrease it.
6. Replace the knob, taking care to position the flat parts flush to each other.
