SEASONING THE COOKING SURFACES
The cooking surfaces must be "seasoned" in order to reduce product sticking . To season, bring grill
to 300°F, until completed . Brush upper and lower cooking surfaces with a a salt free liquid vegitable
oil. If using an aerosol agent, first apply into a cup and then brush onto cooking surface. Let sit for 20
minutes, and then wipe clean using a warm damp cloth . Repeat if required .
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
The thermostat control knob is used to set the temperature to your requirements . The maximum set
point is 450°F (232°C), the minimum set point is 175°F (79°C) .
DAILY OPERATION
Check the power cord to insure that it is plugged into a proper outlet .
Check that the thermostat control is turned on .
The pilot light will come on when the thermostat control goes past the 175°F .
Set the thermostat control knob to desired temperature .
Always allow 20 minutes of preheat time before loading the unit with product .
Failure to allow sufficient preheat time will result in unsatisfactory cooking of the first load.
OPERATING HINTS AND SAFETY
Disconnect power to the unit with the switch at the end of each day of operation .
Do not leave the unit in operation without an attendant .
Turn thermostat down to 200°F (93°C) during idle periods . It will take only a few minutes to regain
operating temperature .
Use spatula to push excess grease into grease cup after each load of food is cooked .
This will reduce smoking of hot grease and carbonizing .
Do not leave the unit at high temperature when not in use or during idle periods .
This will cause food particles and grease film to carbonize.
"Season" cooking surfaces with non-salted vegetable oil to reduce product sticking .
MONTHLY LUBRICATION/INSPECTION
Apply two (2) drops of non-toxic mineral or vegetable oil to hinge bracket at the rear .
Check the bolts, screws and nuts, tighten if necessary .
TOP HOUSING MAINTENANCE
The Spring setting which holds the top housing in the up
position is set at the factory and should provide many years
of use without the need of adjusting . After a extended period
of time the top housing may not maintain its original setting,
therefore the spring tension can be adjusted by tightening and
loosening the Retainer bolts on the back of the unit .
Abobe: Oiling the Hinge,
Below: Tightening the top housing
