CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Exterior Finishes
Black Baked Enamel – Allow equipment to cool after use
and wash all grease deposits from exterior with a hot mild
detergent or soap solution. Dry thoroughly. Do not use
abrasives.
Brushed Chrome Or Brushed Nickel – Wash when cool with
a hot mild detergent or soap solution. Do not use abrasives.
Stainless Steel – Normal soil may be removed with a
detergent or soap solution applied with a cloth.
To remove grease that has baked on, apply cleanser to a
damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in
the direction of the polishing lines of the metal. Never rub
in circular motion. Soil and brunt deposits, which do not
respond, can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with
Scotch-Brite scouring pads or stainless scouring pads. DO
NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL.
Heat tint can be removed by vigorous scouring in the
direction of the polish lines using Scotch-Brite scouring pads
or stainless scouring pad in combination with powdered
cleanser.
Exterior surfaces should be cleaned daily before debris is
allowed to heat and bake onto the surfaces.
Fryers
Cleaning The Fry Tank
1. If a liquid frying compound is used, allow the compound
to cool, then raise the element assembly by means of the
handle until the support engages and let the oil run off
the elements into the fry tank. Wipe the surface oil off the
elements to prevent dripping into the unit bottom when
the tank is removed. Lift out the fry tank and empty the
oil into a filter, after filtering it is then ready for re-use.
Clean the tank in the pot wash area with a mild detergent
and hot water. Rinse with a sponge dipped in a vinegar
and water solution. (3/4 cup of vinegar to 1 quart of
water) and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
2. If hydrogenated (solid) frying compound is used that has
been allowed to cool and become solidified, first turn the
thermostat dial to 121°C (250°F) until the compound is
in a liquid state. Turn the thermostat dial/s to off “O”. Lift
the element assembly by means of the handle until the
support engages and let the oil run off the elements into
the fry tank. Then proceed as described in step 1 to filter
the compound and clean the fry tank.
3. Clean the top of the unit with a cloth soaked in a mild
detergent and hot water, including the front of the
element assembly housing. Rinse with a clean cloth
dipped in clean hot water, Dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth.
Griddle Top Plates
Seasoning
Before being used for the first time, all the griddle surfaces
must be seasoned.
1. Wash griddle with a hot detergent or soap solution, rinse
and dry thoroughly.
2, Set the griddle heat to lowest possible temperature for 30
minutes. Apply a thin film of cooking oil.
3. Allow oil to remain on griddle 5 minutes then wipe off.
4. Reset heat to medium temperature and apply a second
film of oil.
5. Wipe off excess after 5 minutes. Reset heat to cooking
temperature and apply a final film of oil wiping off
surplus after 3 minutes.
The griddle is now seasoned and ready for use. The griddle
may be re-seasoned at any time by cleaning thoroughly and
following the seasoning procedure.
Cleaning
Griddle plates should be wiped daily while still warm.
Remove carbonized grease or food with spatula. When
necessary, clean griddle surfaces thoroughly using a fine
griddle brick or a liquid griddle cleaner (available from your
kitchen equipment dealer). Polish the griddle surface to a
bright finish. For stubborn residue wash the griddle surfaces,
rinse and dry thoroughly. Re-season griddle.
Broiler
Broiler Grates Surfaces
Broiler grates – or cooking racks are manufacture from a
cast iron material. For maximum efficiency the racks should
be scraped and wiped down daily. Grease and other food
particles char and carbonize onto the rack surfaces building
up becoming harder to clean.
