TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature controls are combination “ON/
OFF” switches and thermostats. Turning the dial
knob automatically maintains the selected heat
range.
The Star-Max/Chrome-Max electric griddle line
has one thermostat for every 12” (30cm) section
of griddle which operate independently of one
another. Each thermostat controls the section of
the griddle above it and may be set at different
temperatures as desired.
COOKING
Set the thermostat dial knob at the temperature
desired. After a short pre-heating period, the
thermostat will automatically maintain the selected
temperature.
IDLING
During idle periods, to save on operating costs,
lower the temperature setting of the thermostat
to about 250°F (121°C). It is not necessary to
maintain cooking temperature during idle periods,
as the griddle can quickly be reheated to the
desired temperature.
SIGNAL LIGHTS
Each thermostat has its own signal light which
indicates when the unit’s control knob is not in the
off position.
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHROMIUM
SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle
attractive and performing at top ef
fi
ciency. If grease
is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy
cake and then carbonize into a hard substance
which is extremely dif
fi
cult to remove. To prevent this
condition, the following suggestions for cleanliness
should be followed:
1. After each use, scrape the griddle with a
scraper
or
fl
exible spatula to remove excess
fat and food. A waste drawer is provided for
the scrapings. If there is an accumulation of
burned on fat and food, the griddle should be
thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned. Use
pumice or griddle stone while the griddle is
warm. Do not use steel wool because of the
danger of steel slivers getting into the food.
2. Daily, use a clean cloth and a good non-
abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel
body of the griddle. Wipe the polished front
with a soft cloth.
3. At least once a day, remove the waste grease
drawer and wash in the same way as an
ordinary cooking utensil. The drawers are
removed by pulling forward until they are
released from their track.
GRIDDLE CARE (CHROMIUM SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep this
Industrial Chromium griddle surface sparkling
clean and performing at top ef
fi
ciency. DO NOT
allow grease to accumulate as it will carbonize
and become dif
fi
cult to remove. To prevent this
condition the following cleaning suggestions
should be followed:
1. Remove excess oil and food regularly with
a 4” (100mm) wide Razor Sharp type scraper
and wipe surface with a damp cloth if desired.
2. Following the scraping, for end of the day
cleaning, a damp cloth and a silicate free,
non-abrasive, non-chlorinated cleaner
such as Bon-Ami may be used to wipe
surface clean, followed by wiping with a
clean wet cloth.
3. Follow steps 2 and 3 from Griddle Care (Non-
Chromium Surfaces) above.
CAUTION
1. Never use pumice, griddle stones, or
abrasives on the surface.
2. Never strike griddle surface with sharp
instrument or spatula edge.
3. Never use steel wool.
4. Never use commercial liquid grill cleaner on the
griddle
surface.
5. Abusing surface voids the warranty.
