2M-Z8514, Ultra-Max Electric Griddle
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature controls are combination “ON/OFF” switches and thermostats. Turning the dial knob
automatically maintains the selected heat range.
The Ultra-Max electric griddle line has one thermostat for every 12” (30cm) section of griddle that
operates 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 in the on
position. Cooking surface will be hot when the control knob is in this position.
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHOME 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 grease
and food. A waste drawer is provided for the drippings. If there is an accumulation of burned
on grease 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 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 (CHROME SURFACES)
(Chrome surface griddles are marked with “CHS” at the end of the model number designation on the
nameplate.) It takes very little time and effort to keep this Industrial Chrome griddle surface sparkling
clean and performing at top efficiency. DO NOT allow grease to accumulate as it will carbonize and
become difficult 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 non-silicated, non-
abrasive, non-chlorinated cleaner such as Bon-Ami may be used to wipe surface clean, followed
by wiping with clean wet cloth.
3. Follow steps 2 and 3 from Griddle Care (Non-Chrome Surfaces).
ON CROME SURFACES:
1.
Never
use pumice, griddle stones, or abrasives on the surface.
2.
Never
strike the griddle surface with a sharp instrument or spatula edge.
3.
Never
use steel wool.
4.
Never
use commercial liquid grill cleaner on the griddle surface.
5. Abusing the surface voids the warranty.
