Keating Of Chicago 2000 Griddle User Manual


 
CLEANING CABINET
The front, back and sides of the cabinet should be kept
clean for sanitary reasons.
CARE OF THE MIRACLEAN® SURFACE
The Miraclean® surface is very hard. With proper care,
the MIRACLEAN® surface and its unique cooking
properties will last for many years.
NEVER USE A GRIDDLE STONE, BRICK OR
SCREEN TO CLEAN THE MIRACLEAN®
SURFACE. DAMAGE DONE TO THE
MIRACLEAN® SURFACE BY GRIDDLE STONE,
BRICK OR SCREEN WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
DO NOT HACK, CHOP, HIT OR CUT ON THE
MIRACLEAN® SURFACE. YOU WILL DENT THE
STEEL PLATE UNDER THE TRIVALENT
CHROME. IT IS EVEN POSSIBLE TO HACK TWO
NICKS CLOSE TOGETHER AND ACTUALLY
TEAR THE MIRACLEAN® SURFACE AS THE
CHROMIUM WILL NOT STRETCH. PROPER USE
OF THE UTENSILS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR
MIRACLEAN® GRIDDLE WILL PREVENT
SURFACE DAMAGE. THE DAMAGE DONE TO
THE MIRACLEAN® SURFACE IS IRREPARABLE.
NEVER USE ICE TO COOL THE MIRACLEAN®
SURFACE. USE OF ICE MAY WARP THE
MIRACLEAN® SURFACE.
USE ONLY KEATING SUPPLIED CLEANING
TOOLS AND KLENZER.
USE ONLY A KEATING STEEL SPATULA.
DO NOT CLEAN SCRAPER ON SPLASHBACK,
GREASE BUILD-UP WILL OCCUR WHICH MAY
RESULT IN A FIRE.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLUE. THE FLUE HAS
BEEN DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO EXHAUST
THE BY-PRODUCT OF ANY COMBUSTION. ANY
OBJECTS (STEAK WEIGHTS, EGG COVERS,
PANS, RAGS, UTENSILS, ETC.) PLACED ON THE
FLUE WILL INHIBIT THE PROPER COMBUSTION
AND EXHAUST, THEREFORE CAUSING HEALTH
HAZARDS.
DO NOT USE A POWER WASH, HOSE OR STEAM
CLEANER FOR DAILY CLEANING.
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
Calibration is not covered under warranty.
Tools: Accurate surface thermometer
Standard screwdriver
1. Turn the exhaust system ON.
2. Turn on the griddle with thermostat set at 300°F.
Allow burners to cycle on and off three times.
(Approximately 60 minutes.)
3. Place accurate thermometer on surface over
thermostat bulb. Use the inverted “V” on the front
of the griddle plate to locate thermostat bulb.
Place the surface thermometer about half way
toward the back of the plate.
4. When burners cycle off, the griddle is up to
temperature. If temperature is within 25°F of
thermostat setting, remove knob. Loosen four
screws in the thermostat dial plate. Replace knob.
Reset the dial plate to match the thermometer
reading.
Thermostat calibration
Thermostat knob removed to reveal calibration screws.
5. Remove the knob to tighten screws on dial plate
and replace the knob.
For calibration over a 50°F difference, contact a
qualified service company.
CONDITIONING THE
MIRACLEAN® GRIDDLE PLATE
The Miraclean® Griddle plate has been “seasoned” at
the factory. The Miraclean® surface when heated
creates a thin layer of chrome oxide which acts as a
releasing agent for food product. You may feel that you
need to recondition your griddle surface.
1. Follow cleaning instructions on page 5.
2. Heat the MIRACLEAN® to 400°F for one hour.
3. Lower thermostat to 350°F, allowing the
MIRACLEAN® to cool to about 350°F, as is evident
when griddle cycles on or surface thermometer
indicates correct temperature.
4. Lightly coat the MIRACLEAN® surface with griddle
oil.
NOTE: Despite the food releasing properties, the
chrome surface is not a true “non-stick” surface. For
best cooking results and product appearance, use
griddle oil for products that require the surface to be
conditioned.
