down with a mild detergent solution.

at least 20 minutes for the plate to heat up before cooking.

CARE OF GRIDDLE PLATES
Steel plate

2. Rinse to ensure that all traces of detergent have been removed. Once clean and dry, the plate can
be protected with a light coat of cooking oil.
3. For heavy, stubborn deposits a de-greasing agent, ‘CARBON-OFF’ is available from Lincat upon
request.
Chromed Finish
1. Food debris should be removed regularly during use.
2. After turning the griddle off, allow 15 minutes for the griddle plate to partially cool down and
flush with a small quantity of water to soften any residue and further cool the plate.
3. Use a stiff bristle brush to loosen food residue and scrape it into the fat drawer.
4. Repeat the flushing process, adding a small amount of mild detergent to the water and again empty
into the fat drawer, taking care that it doesn’t overflow.
5. Wipe the plate with a soft cloth.
Do not use sharp cornered instruments on a chromed griddle surface.
