Maintenance Tips
- Clean plates while warm (daily use): Wipe cast iron or coated plates with a non-abrasive grill pad to remove grease and food residue before it hardens.
- Empty grease drawer daily: Front-mounted drip tray must be cleaned after each shift to prevent smoke, odor, and fire risk.
- Avoid water on hot plates: Do not pour water on heated surfaces—this can crack or damage cast iron and heating elements.
- Season cast iron surfaces: Apply a light oil coating after cleaning to maintain non-stick performance and prevent rust (especially on cast iron models).
- Keep thermostats clean & protected: Wipe control knobs and panel gently; ensure temperature dials (up to 300°C / 572°F) function smoothly.
- Check spring hinge system: Ensure self-balancing top plate moves freely for even pressure and consistent grilling.
- Inspect power connection regularly: Confirm stable 208–240V supply and check plug/cable for wear or overheating signs.
- Deep clean weekly (heavy use): Degrease stainless steel body, side panels, and hard-to-reach edges around plates.
- Maintain ventilation clearance: Keep airflow around the unit to prevent overheating of internal components.
- Do not use abrasive tools: Avoid steel wool or harsh scrapers that can damage cast iron surface coating
