Griddle Top
Seasoning
– Before being used for the fi rst time, all griddle
surfaces must be seasoned. Was the griddle with a hot
detergent or soap solution, rinse and dry thoroughly. Set
the Griddle heat to the lowest possible temperature for 30
minutes. Apply a thin fi lm of cooking oil. Allow the oil to
remain on the griddle for 5 minutes and then wipe off . Rest
the heat to medium temperature and apply a second fi lm
of oil. Wipe off excess after 5 minutes. Rest the heat to the
cooking temperature and apply a fi nal fi lm of oil, wiping
off excess after 3 minutes. The griddle is now seasoned and
ready for use. The griddle may be re-seasoned at any time by
cleaning thoroughly and following the seasoning procedure.
Cleaning.
– Griddle plates should be wiped daily while still
warm. Remove carbonized grease or food with a spatula.
When necessary, clean the griddle surface thoroughly using
a fi ne griddle brick or a liquid griddle cleaner (available from
your kitchen equipment dealer.). Polish the griddle surface
to a bright fi nish. Wash the griddle surface, rinse and dry
thoroughly. Re-season the griddle.
Operating Suggestions
1. Avoid overheating the griddle as this causes sticking and
grease carbonization resulting in a hard to clean surface.
2. Do not hit spatula on griddle plate as this will nick the
surface
3. Clean the grease tray often to eliminate spillovers.

Cast Iron Top
– When cast iron tops (which are covered in
grease) arrive at the end users, the following seasoning and
care is recommended.
1. Wash the top grates with hot mild detergent or soap
solution. Dry thoroughly, rub with vegetable oil on all
exposed surfaces in the direction of the grain.
2. Soiled and burnt deposits can be removed with a wire
brush. Diffi
cult to remove burnt deposit can usually be
removed using an oven cleaner. Wash, dry thoroughly,
then rub with vegetable oil.
3. Continuing this procedure will prohibit the development
of rust and will eventually form a non-stick surface, with
the caramelization of oil on the cast iron top grates.
Cleaning
– Use a hot mild detergent or soap solution to
clean the exterior daily. Dry thoroughly.
