Maintenance Tips
-
Clean burners, grates, and removable parts daily to prevent grease buildup and ensure proper flame and airflow.
-
Keep griddle or hot-top surfaces clean and seasoned — after washing, apply a thin coat of cooking oil and heat slowly to restore a protective surface.
-
Brush out burner ports regularly to maintain efficient combustion and prevent flame issues.
-
Wipe stainless steel exterior with mild detergent and a soft cloth to preserve finish and hygiene; avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool.
-
Empty grease trays and drip containers frequently to reduce fire hazards and maintain proper drainage.
-
Inspect gas connections, control knobs, and adjustable legs periodically to ensure stability, proper gas flow, and safe operation.
-
Allow surfaces to cool before deep cleaning to avoid thermal shock; dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
