Maintenance Tips
-
Daily grease management: Remove and empty the grease pan each day; wash it with warm, soapy water and dry before reinstalling to prevent buildup.
-
Clean surfaces: After the unit cools, wipe all stainless steel exterior and interior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent; avoid harsh abrasives or steel wool.
-
Cooking rack care: Clean the rack after each use — remove it for easier washing and brush off food residue while warm or after soak.
-
Burner maintenance: Gently brush debris off infrared burners only when cool — do not apply water directly on burner surfaces.
-
Keep airflow clear: Ensure surrounding space and ventilation are not blocked so heat and fumes disperse properly.
-
Annual professional check: Have a qualified technician inspect gas connections, valves, and burner performance for safe, optimal operation in high‑use kitchens.
