USING THE ELECTRIC GRIDDLE
To preheat, wipe the griddle top plate with cooking oil and set the thermostats for the
desired temperatures 10-12 minutes before cooking.
A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent
product results.

The griddle plate is a composite material which is engineered to provide a high heat
transfer rate to the food. The top surface is stainless steel and can be scored or dented
by careless use of a spatula or scraper. 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 the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface. Do not use hardened steel
spatulas. Use mild steel spatulas with rounded corners.
CARE AND CLEANING
The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning
or servicing the griddle.
Clean the electric griddle top regularly. A clean griddle always looks better, lasts longer
and performs better. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products keep
the griddle plate clean and free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface
hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food, resulting in spotty
browning and loss of cooking efficiency. Carbonized grease tends to cling to griddle
foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance.
To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow these procedures:
AFTER EACH USE
Clean the electric griddle top with a griddle scraper during the work shift. Keep the
griddle scraper head flat to avoid scratching or gouging the plate. Use a cooking release
agent to prevent product from sticking to the griddle top cooking surface.
