OPERATION
WARNING: THE GRIDDLE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING OR SERVICING THE GRIDDLE.
CONTROLS
THERMOSTAT — Each thermostat controls the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the
griddle plate up to the set temperature.
BEFORE FIRST USE
The griddle is shipped covered with a protective coating of grease. 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 manufacturer's directions. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft
clean cloth. Clean all accessories. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion. Heat griddle to a low (300-350°F) temperature
and pour on 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 two to three times until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like surface.
This should also be done after every cleaning.
