PREHEAT GRIDDLE
CAUTION: Care must be exercised not to overheat the griddle plate by setting the thermostats
well above recommended temperatures. Overheating the plate may cause plate warpage, and
will carbonize any grease on the plate and cause sticking.
1. Set thermostat to desired griddle temperature. Burners should light.
2. Allow 15-20 minutes for the griddle temperature to reach thermostat setting.
3. When amber light first flashes off, griddle is ready to be seasoned, or if previously seasoned, for
loading.
SEASON GRIDDLE SURFACE
Unless the product contains sufficient fat, the griddle surface must be seasoned before each cooking
operation. Surface must also be seasoned after each thorough cleaning.
1. Preheat the griddle to 400°F.
2. When the amber light goes off, spread a film of cooking oil or fat over the entire cooking surface
of the lower griddle.
3. In two minutes, scrape the surface clean of surplus oil. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
4. The griddle is now ready for use.
This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by carelessly
using a spatula. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose
food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner or edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.
AT THE END OF THE DAY
Turn the Main On-Off switch to OFF. The pilot, igniter red light and thermostat will be turned off.
TO SHUT OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD
Turn both the electric supply and gas supply OFF.
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.
To produce evenly cooked, browned products, keep the griddle free of carbonized grease. Carbonized
grease may cling to the griddled foods, giving them an unsatisfactory appearance.
