PROLUXE SL1266 SPLIT LID CLAMSHELL

Safety Notes: Grid surface extremely hot! Do not clean grid surface until it has cooled.

Description

The Proluxe Split Lid clamshell grill heats quesadillas, corn tortillas, and flat bread only. The clamshell grill is
electrically powered and produces two heated grill surfaces used to cook quesadillas.

The exterior is constructed of stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning. The surface of the grids has
been treated and polished to prevent sticking.

Setting

For optimum efficiency, the top and bottom will be programmed to 500˚F. To check the temperature of the
UPPER PLATENS press the TEMPERATURE button and the ARROW UP button at the same time. To check
the temperature of the LOWER PLATENS press the TEMPERATURE button and ARROW DOWN button at
the same time.

Daily Cleaning and Seasoning Procedures

1. Press the CLEAN button (surface temperature will reduce to 275°F). The CLEAN LED light will
illuminate and CL 275°F will constantly blink. Open both Clamshell lids to reduce the temperature
quicker. (You must allow the Clamshell to reduce to 275°before you proceed) This will take
approximately 20 minutes. Once the Clamshell reduces to 275°it will beep 3 times and CL 275°F
will display solid.

2. Put on elbow length neoprene protective gloves (heat-resistant).

3. Wipe down all exterior surfaces with a warm, damp food handler towel with Kay QSR Multi-Purpose
Sink Detergent, then dry.

4. Scrape loose debris from heating surfaces into the grease catcher in the back right corner of the
Clamshell.

5. Clean the lower platen first using a grill pad with a grill pad holder. NOTE: Never use a grill screen
to clean the Clamshell. Apply .5 oz. of Heat-Activated Grill and Toaster Cleaner (Sizzle) directly to
the lower platen.

6. Scrub the lower platen with the grill pad and wipe away soil and cleaner with dry paper towels.

7. Dispense an additional .5 oz. of Heat-Activated Grill and Toaster Cleaner (Sizzle) onto dry paper
towels and apply to the upper left and right platens.

8. Scrub with a grill pad and then wipe away soil and cleaner with a dry paper towel.

9. Wipe away soil and cleaner from all surfaces with damp paper towels.

10. Repeat until surfaces are completely clean.

11. Remove and empty the grease catcher drawer and clean it using the Kay QSR Multi-Purpose Sink
Detergent. Dry and put the grease catcher back in place.

12. Season the Clamshell by applying a thin layer of Release agent to top and bottom surfaces and
spreading it evenly with a clean and dry paper towel.

13. Press the CLEAN button to end the Cleaning cycle. The grill will return to 500°F and will be ready
for use.

Note: It is best not to let food cook onto grill, as food builds-up on the grill will increase sticking and
smoking. In addition, carbon may build up on the grill surface and reduce the cooking efficiency.
