SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE (NON-CHROMIUM
SURFACES)
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should
be seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Before using, and after each thorough scouring,
season the griddle heating surface in the following manner:
1. Turn Power ON and set the knob to number 7.
2. Allow 10 minutes for grill to reach its operating temperature.
3. Brush the cooking surface with a releasing agent.
If using an aerosol agent, rst apply in a cup and then brush onto cooking surface.
4. Let sit for 20 minutes, and then wipe clean using a warm damp cloth.
DAILY SEASONING
Properly seasoned, the grill should not require much seasoning while in use.
Brushing a light coating of a baking releasing agent in the morning, and occasionally
throughout the day will be enough to prevent any sticking.
IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO APPLY BEFORE GRILLING EACH ITEM.
Even with careful seasoning food may, to some extent, stick to the griddle cooking
surface until griddle plate is "broken in."
OPERATING PROCEDURE
Turn temperature control knob from "off" position to the temperature number desired.
This will automatically heat the griddle to whatever the temperature the control knob is set.
The thermostat will shut off automatically and the pilot light will go out when the temperature is
reached. The griddle is to be kept at this setting for immediate service and left at this setting
as griddle will remain at constant temperature. If it is turned off, you will have to wait 10 to
20 minutes for it to reheat. If griddle is too hot, turn knob to lower temperature. Turn off when
leaving at night.
PILOT LIGHT
Pilot light will go on when the unit is rst turned on or when control knob is turned to higher
temperature. It will go off when temperature is reached.
GREASE CATCHER
A pan is provided to catch the grease. This ts under the griddle.
OPERATING HINTS AND SAFETY
Disconnect power to the unit with the switch at the end of each day of operation.
Do not leave the unit in operation without an attendant.
Turn thermostat down to #3 during idle periods. It will take only a few minutes to regain
operating temperature.
Use spatula to push excess grease into grease drawer after each load of food is cooked.
This will reduce smoking of hot grease and carbonizing.
Do not leave the unit at high temperature when not in use or during idle periods. This will
cause food particles and grease lm to carbonize
WARNING
DO NOT IMMERSE OR LET THE UNIT STAND IN WATER.
DO NOT HOSE DOWN THE UNIT OR THE TABLE/COUNTER IF THE UNIT IS ON THE
TABLE/COUNTER.
KEEP AWAY FROM RUNNING WATER.
