C. WEEKLY CLEANING:
1. Remove the grease pan, empty and wash it with mild detergent and warm water, applied by
sponge or soft cloth. Then, dry it with a soft dry cloth.
2. To remove normal dirt, clean the flue and exterior body of the equipment with mild detergent
and warm water, applied by sponge or soft cloth. Do not use wire brush or steel scouring pads
to remove grease and food splatter from the flue and external body of the equipment.
3. To remove grease and food splatter, which have BAKED on the equipment, apply cleanser to a
damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines, so
that it will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. Never rub with a circular motion.
4. Grate "burn off'. The grease buildup on the grates should be cleaned daily (or more often as
needed).
Caution: When handling grates or radiants, allow to cool and always use heat insulated gloves
to prevent burns.
Warning: Do not cover the top of the grates during a burn off operation. Restricting the airflow
by covering the grates may cause them to warp. It will also cause damage to the valves, the
knobs and the front panel.
5. Place grates on Char-Grill, with grid bars horizontal, facing down.
6. Turn the Char-Grill on for approximately 45 minutes.
7. Turn off the Char-Grill and allow it to cool for 20 Minutes or more.
8. Clean top and bottom surfaces of the grates with mild detergent and warm water using a soft
wire brush to remove fats and caramelized grease.
9. Clean channels on grates with a scraper.
10. Rinse the cast grates with warm water and dry thoroughly with a dry cloth
11. Remove radiants from Char-Grill. Clean the top surface of radiants with a mild detergent and
warm water, and with soft wire brush to remove any food debris or caramelized grease deposits.
12. For units with lava rocks, remove the lava rocks and brush the rocks with soft bristled brush to
remove any food debris or caramelized grease that was stuck on the rocks.
13. Check the rocks for cracks and damage, and replace with new ones if necessary.
