OPERATION
WARNING: THE GRIDDLE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING OR SERVICING.
BEFORE FIRST USE
The griddle is shipped covered with a protective coating. Remove this film only when the
griddle plate is being cleaned prior to its first cooking use. Use a non-corrosive, grease
dissolving commercial cleaner, following the manufacturer’s directions. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Clean all accessories.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion before first use, and after every
cleaning. Heat griddle to a low temperature (300-350°F) and apply a small amount of
cooking oil – about one ounce per square foot of surface. Use a soft lint-free cloth to
spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil
with a cloth. Repeat the procedure until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like finish.
CONTROLS
THERMOSTAT – Each thermostat controls the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of
the griddle plate up to the set temperature.
OPERATION OF GRIDDLE WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
1. Set the cooking temperature of each thermostat to be used.
2. Push ON/OFF switch to ON. The red indicator light will glow, indicating the griddle is
on and calling for heat.
SHUTDOWN OF GRIDDLE WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
1. Push ON/OFF switch to OFF. Red indicator light will stop glowing; indicating that gas
has been shut off to main burners and the griddle is not heating.
EXTENDED SHUTDOWN
1. Shut off the main gas supply valve.
2. Unplug the griddle electrical supply cord.
3. Apply a heavy coat of oil over the griddle plate to inhibit rust.
