After Each Use: Clean griddle with a wire brush or flexible spatula.
Once a Day: Thoroughly clean splash back, sides and front. Remove grease pan, empty and wash
out in the same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.
Once a Week: Clean griddle surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a griddle stone, wire brush or steel
wool over the surface. Rub with the grain of the metal while still warm. A detergent may be used on
the plate surface to help clean it, but the detergent must be thoroughly removed. Rinse thoroughly and
wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. After cleaning, the griddle must be reseasoned to inhibit rusting and
food sticking (see BEFORE FIRST USE in this manual for seasoning instructions).
If the griddle is to be shut down for an extended period, put a heavy coat of grease over the griddle plate.
Exterior
Clean exterior finish with a mild solution of grease dissolving cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry
with a soft clean cloth.
Range
While still warm, wipe top daily with a grease absorbing material to remove spillovers, grease, etc.,
before they burn in. A crust on top of the range looks unsightly and slows down cooking because it
reduces the flow of heat to the utensil. Scrape if necessary.
Boil open top grates and burners weekly in a solution of washing soda and water. Clean drip pan under
burners with a mild detergent solution. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
All Ovens
Clean oven and oven door daily, especially if fruit pies or tomato sauces were baked, meats roasted,
and if there has been spillovers.
Stainless steel ovens may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Stubborn soil may be removed with a
detergent solution .
CAUTION: DO NOT use scouring powder on finishes. Scouring powder is extremely difficult
to remove completely. It can build up accumulations that will damage the oven or remove
corrosion resistant finishes.
Painted surfaces may be cleaned with a cloth and a mild detergent solution.
Remove nickel plate racks and rack supports and clean with a mild detergent solution.
After processing some foods at low temperatures, odors may linger in the oven. These odors may be
eliminated by setting the thermostat at 500°F and allowing the oven to run unloaded for 30 to 45
minutes.
