GRIDDLE OPERATION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The stainless steel cover must be
removed prior to operating the griddle.
• Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using
the griddle.
• To heat the griddle, push in the control knob and turn
counterclockwise to the desired temperature. It is
normal to hear a clicking sound. This is the electronic
ignition lighting the burner. When the burner is lit, the
thermostat will control the temperature.
• When the griddle is preheated, the griddle indicator
light will go out. The light will cycle on and off as the
thermostat requires more heat to maintain the set
temperature. This will allow heat to be evenly distrib-
uted and the griddle to maintain the set temperature.
• The double griddle has two burners with separate
control knobs that act independently of each other. If
only one griddle is being used, there will be some heat
transfer to the inactive griddle.
• To turn the griddle off, turn the control knob clockwise
to the OFF position.
Infrared Griddle
T
he optional griddle is thermostatically controlled, which
means once the set temperature is reached, the heat
cycles to hold that temperature. To prevent food from
sticking and to protect the surface from moisture, it is
necessary to “season” the griddle prior to use. This
seasoning process as well as general use will change the
appearance of the griddle.
SEASON THE GRIDDLE
• The griddle is shipped with a protective oil coating the
surface, use hot water and detergent to clean. Rinse
and dry.
• Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using
the griddle.
• The griddle needs to go through a “burn in” period.
Turn the griddle on at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes to
clean oils from the bottom of the griddle. After 30
minutes, turn the griddle off and allow it to cool.
• To season, pour a teaspoon (5 ml) of peanut or
vegetable oil per single griddle in the center; spread
evenly with a paper towel, avoiding the corners. Be
careful not to apply too much oil. Excess oil will leave a
gummy residue that will have to be removed.
• Push and turn the control knob to 350°F (175°C). Heat
until you see the first signs of smoke. Turn the griddle
off. When the griddle has cooled and is only slightly
warm, wipe off any excess oil. Let the griddle cool
completely.
• Repeat with another teaspoon of oil. The brown
appearance will darken with use.
