Griddle & Grill Repairs and Maintenance

Griddles and chargrills are essential cooking equipment in commercial kitchens, but like any appliance, they can experience a variety of issues that impact performance and food quality.

The accumulation of heat, smoke, and other fumes is another frequent problem with commercial grills and smoky cooking methods. Should this be the situation in your commercial kitchen, it could be time to examine your ventilation system or ductwork system as a whole.

Catering Equipment Planned Preventative Maintenance Contracts

Need PPM For Your Business?

Our expert kitchen equipment engineers will be able to guide you on the best contract for you catering needs.

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is a proactive approach to maintaining equipment and systems to prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.

In commercial kitchens, PPM ensures that vital equipment like extractor fans, refrigeration units, and cooking appliances are regularly inspected, cleaned, and serviced to operate efficiently and safely.

By scheduling routine maintenance, businesses can extend the lifespan of their equipment, reduce the risk of sudden failures, and comply with health and safety regulations. PPM not only improves operational reliability but also helps avoid downtime, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted workflow in the kitchen.

Frequestly Asked Questions

It is recommended to clean your griddle and chargrill after each use. A deep cleaning should be performed every few weeks, depending on usage frequency, to maintain optimal performance and hygiene.

Use a metal scraper to remove food residues and excess grease while the griddle is still warm. For a deeper clean, apply a griddle cleaner or a mixture of warm water and dish soap, and scrub with a griddle brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

After cleaning, make sure the surface is completely dry. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the griddle surface and heat it for a few minutes. Store the equipment in a dry environment to avoid moisture build-up.

Uneven heating can be caused by clogged burner ports. Turn off the grill, remove the grates, and clean the burners with a wire brush or a small needle to clear any obstructions. If the issue persists, check the gas supply or consult us on 07379 677 999 

To season your griddle, heat it to a medium temperature and apply a thin layer of high smoke point oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil). Spread it evenly using a cloth or paper towel. Let the oil cook into the surface until it starts to smoke, then repeat the process 2-3 times for a non-stick finish.

Scrub the grates with a wire brush to remove food particles and grease after each use. Once cleaned, apply a thin layer of oil to prevent rust and maintain the non-stick surface. For heavy-duty cleaning, soak the grates in a mixture of warm water and baking soda, then rinse and dry.

If you notice low flame, irregular heating, or an unusual smell of gas, it could indicate a faulty regulator. Turn off the gas supply immediately and consult a professional to inspect or replace the regulator. Regular checks and maintenance can prevent this issue.
