Griddle
The Griddle operates with a U-shape burner. The
griddle plate is constructed of highly polished 1/2"
thick, restaurant quality steel. An electric thermostat
controls the plate temperature. Each time the
thermostat calls for heat, the burner is automatically
ignited by an electric glowbar ignition system. This
eliminates the need for standing pilots with
continuously burning flames.
USING YOUR GRIDDLE

Before Using Your Griddle
A thin film of oil is applied to the griddle plate at the
factory to preserve its luster and protect it from rust.
Dust and dirt may accumulate during manufacturing
and transit. It is important to thoroughly clean the
griddle and season it before using it for the first time.
To prepare the griddle:
1. Clean the griddle surface with a mild
cleaner/degreaser to remove the film of protective
oil.
2. Rinse with a mixture of 1/4 cup of vinegar to one
quart of water. Dry thoroughly.
3. Apply thin film of cooking oil (do not use corn oil)
to the entire griddle surface.
4. Heat the griddle to 400
°
F. Follow normal operation
instructions. (Steps 1 and 2 on page 32.)
5. When the oil begins to smoke, turn the control knob
OFF. Allow the griddle to cool
6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 several times.
8. When the griddle is cool, wipe it with clean burlap
or any heavy coarse cloth.
9. Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the griddle to
prevent rusting.
10. The griddle is now ready to use.
11. It is normal for the griddle to darken with use. This
is a sign of a well-seasoned griddle.
