Care and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Adcraft range.
1. Daily Cleaning
- Stainless Steel Surfaces: Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the finish.
- Grates and Burners: Allow grates to cool. Remove and clean them with warm, soapy water. The anti-clogging pilot shield should be kept clear of debris.
- Griddle Plate: After each use, scrape off excess food debris. While still warm, wipe the griddle surface with a griddle brick or scraper. Season the griddle regularly as needed.
- Crumb Tray: Empty and clean the removable crumb tray daily.
2. Regular Maintenance
