Maintenance Tips

• Daily clean & grease removal: Remove and empty the grease pan each day; wash with warm, soapy water and dry before reinstalling to prevent buildup.

• Wipe stainless surfaces: After the unit cools, clean all stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent; dry thoroughly to prevent stains and corrosion.

• Rack maintenance: Wipe the spring‑balanced rack daily while warm to remove food residue and burnt bits; brush off stubborn debris with a stiff wire brush (no steel wool).

• Burner care: When cool, gently brush debris from infrared burners to maintain even heating — avoid direct water on burner elements.

• Ventilation & airflow: Keep surrounding hood and space clear to ensure proper ventilation and safe operation.

• Professional servicing: Schedule periodic inspections by a qualified technician for gas connections, valves, and overall performance, especially in high‑use kitchens.
