Maintenance
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the balance of gas, volume and air supply to each burner. This
must be done by an authorized service technician.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
Heat to low temperature (300 - 350 F/150-180C) and pour small amount of cooking oil to the griddle plate
(about one ounce (30cc) per square foot of surface). Spread the oil over the entire griddle surface with a cloth
to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle
has a slick, mirror-like surface.
OPERATING THE GRIDDLE
Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired flame
height or temperature. Each valve controls the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the unit up to the set
temperature. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively
higher temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and systematic approach
to the loading of the unit will produce the most consistent product results.
SHUTDOWN BURNER
To turn ‘OFF’ the appliance completely, turn the gas control knob completely clockwise to the ‘O’ position, the
pilot burner will extinguish.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
• DO NOT use any abrasive or flammable cleaning fluids.
•
DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of the Griddle, excluding the catch tray.
• NEVER use a scrubber pad (on all exterior surfaces, except the griddle plate), steel wool or abrasive
material, or cleaners containing chlorine, iodine and ammonia or bromine chemicals as these will
deteriorate the stainless steel and shorten the life of the unit.
IF CLEANING ALL THE GRIDDLE’S SURFACES, THE MAIN GAS VALVE MUST BE SWITCHED TO THE
CLOSED POSITION. AFTER CLEANING, THE GAS LINE CAN BE SWITCHED BACK TO THE OPEN
POSITION. PLEASE FOLLOW THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL TO RELIGHT THE
GRIDDLE’S PILOT LIGHTS AS NEEDED.
