ADJUSTING THERMOSTATS (MODELS
615T, 624T, 636T, 648T, TCHS & TSP
ONLY)
The thermostat is a precision instrument. It has
been carefully calibrated at the factory. Field
recalibration is seldom necessary and should not
be done until the by-pass flame has been adjusted.
To measure griddle temperature use a reliable
pyrometer and proceed as follows.
1. Set dial to 400°F (202.4°C), lighting burner.
2. After burner has been on about 10 minutes,
check griddle surface temperature above
operating thermostat.
3. Continue to check temperature at 5 minute
intervals, until two successive readings are
within 5 degrees of each other. If your reading
is not within 10 degrees of the dial setting
400°F (202.4°C), recalibration is required.
4. Remove dial completely with "D" type stem.
5. Turn calibration screw clockwise to obtain a
lower temperature or counterclockwise for a
higher temperature. Each mark on retainer
represents 25°F (13.75°C).
6. Repeat steps for other thermostats.
ADJUSTING SAFETY PILOTS
(SERIES TCHS & TSP ONLY)
A rotor valve is provided to manually adjust pilot
flame size. "OFF" and "ON" positions are
indicated on valve. By slowly turning the
adjustment knob, a desirable pilot flame can be
obtained.
OVERNIGHT SHUTDOWN
Turn knobs to the off position to turn burners off.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING
SURFACE (NON-CHROMIUM)
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the
griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be
seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Before
using, and after each thorough scouring, season
the griddle heating surface in the following
manner:
1. Turn the temperature control dial to 350°F
(174.9°C).
2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin
film of cooking oil or fat over the griddle
cooking surface. This film should remain on
the hot griddle surface 1/2 hour.
3. Remove excess fat and wipe clean.
4. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot
cooking area for another 1/2 hour, and again
remove excess fat and wipe clean. The griddle
surface should now be ready for use.
Even with careful seasoning food may, to some
extent, stick to the griddle cooking surface until
griddle plate is "broken in".
COOKING (MODELS 615T, 624T, 636T,
648T, TCHS & TSP ONLY)
Set the thermostat dial knob to the temperature
desired. After a short preheating period, the
thermostat will automatically maintain the
selected temperature.
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHROMIUM
SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the
griddle attractive and performing at top efficiency.
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a
gummy cake and then carbonize into a hard
substance which is extremely difficult 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 flexible 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 reseasoned. 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 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 drawer
and wash in the same way as an ordinary
cooking utensil. The drawer is removed by
pulling forward, up and out.
