Gas Griddle / Cheesemelter
Preparing Griddle
The griddle surface is protected with a protective
coating. To remove this coating, light the burners and
wait approximately 5 minutes for the griddle to heat,
wet the entire griddle surface with clear water, and
then add some griddle cleaner to the water. Let the
cleaner work a few minutes, then wipe the cooking
surface dry. Apply a light cooking oil or shortening on
the griddle plate.
Your griddle is now ready for normal operation.
A grease trough is provided at the right of the griddle
with a drain chute which empties into a grease can.
Loosen the soil on the griddle plate and sweep it into
the chute. Do not tap the edge of the spatula on the
griddle plate, as this will mar the finish of the polished
surface and possibly cause the food to stick when
cooking.
Operation
Turn burner valves to "ON" position and wait
approximately 20 minutes for griddle to reach
operating temperature. Food may then be placed on
griddle or broiler rack and rack adjusted to desired
height. For Stand-By periods and adjustment of griddle
temperature, turn valve handles between the "ON" and
"OFF" positions.
Cleaning
Keep the griddle clean by washing and using griddle
cleaners available from your dealer. Do not attempt to
use any steel wool or abrasives which will embed in the
plate.
Remove the grate and wash with common dishwashing
detergent. Wipe inside area of broiler with damp cloth.
Wipe exterior with damp cloth.
Air shutters should be cleaned of lint and dirt
periodically.
Contact Grindmaster Cecilware if major repairs or
maintenance is required.
