8. CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

EN
• To perform maintenance, cleaning or repair the gas tap should be turned off.
• The modification, removal or lack of maintenance of any part of the equipment raises the risk of accidents. It is re-
commended that periodic checks be performed.
• The manufacturer holds no responsibility for damage from the use of the machine with any modification, removal,
lack of component maintenance performed without prior and express authorization by the manufacturer.
• Parts that have been modified by the manufacturer or its agent MUST NOT be modified by the installer or user.
Daily care and cleaning at the end of the work guarantees impeccable operation and long equipment life.
Appropriate care of the griddles and accessories is fundamental, as the equipment is manufactured with the highest quality
materials, able to be cared for with easily acquired products.
There are two forms of cleaning: one, partial or daily; two, total or weekly. In general, abrasive detergents should not be used
for these tasks, with a large variety of products on the market that dissolve grease and other organic materials without dama-
ging the equipment structure. NEVER CLEAN WITH WATER AT HIGH PRESSURE. The griddles are designed to be easily
disassembled and accessible for their care and cleaning.

BURNERS

At least once a week we will unscrew the four nuts that hold the griddle and we will take them out. We find the burners
housed beneath the griddle. We will brush the top of them to remove any residue blocking the gas output orifices. Next, and
after making sure that the burners have been properly cleaned, we will put the griddle to its initial location.
Also make sure that the Venturi nozzles are completely cleaned, as well as the air input and the gas escape.
Clean their surfaces.

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES

The models of the griddles are constructed of stainless steel, a material of excellent quality and durability.
Maintaining it with appropriate detergent, a daily cleaning of these parts will keep it in perfect condition.

UPPER GRIDDLE

It is important that the griddle surface is always clean of solid residues, even during its use. To do so, the surface should be
covered with any type of comestible and lubricating substance at work temperature (comestible oils, greases, butters, etc.) The
existence of the collector allows said residues to be temporarily deposited inside, thus facilitating the use of the griddle under
perfect conditions. As it finishes the operations it is advised passing a rag with oil to keep it covered of oil in perfect state and
like this avoiding the oxide.
At least once a week, the griddle and collector should be cleaned using a non-abrasive grease remover.
Assuming that the cleaning has been performed and the burner functions poorly (yellow flame or excessive height), the
injectors and other mechanisms will have to be checked, and if after these verifications the problems persist, the grill will then
have to be disassembled to remove the possible residues that may have flooded the inside of the combustion chambers. It is
recommended that these operations be performed by authorized personnel.
