Maintenance Tips

• Brush and clean top grates daily: Remove and brush the heavy‑duty cast iron “H” grates after each service to eliminate food residue and grease — this preserves heat distribution and prevents buildup.

• Do not stack char rocks: Use a single loose layer of char rocks, keeping about half the cast‑iron grates visible; proper rock placement reduces flare‑ups and promotes uniform heat. Excess stacking can cause performance issues and damage parts.

• Empty and wash grease troughs: Remove and clean the full‑length grease trough and removable pans daily to prevent grease fires and maintain sanitation.

• Clean around burners periodically: Lift grates and brush debris from the burner area; check burners and tiny ports for clogs so flames remain strong and even.

• Wipe stainless steel surfaces: Use mild soap and warm water on the polished stainless steel front and sides; avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that can corrode finishes and void warranties.

• Check knobs & valves: Periodically ensure all control knobs are secure and gas control valves operate smoothly; have a certified technician clean or service as needed.

• Annual professional service: Schedule yearly inspection of gas connections, burners, and pilots to sustain safety and performance in busy kitchens. (Industry best practice)
