Page: 7 / 16

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE
All units are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil or grease
remaining from the manufacturing process.
Open Tops & Broilers
The Top grates should be removed and washed before use. With these removed it will be possible to remove
plastic ties holding the burners in place for shipment.
Griddle
New griddles should be seasoned as follows:
1. Clean the griddle surface thoroughly with hot soapy water to remove the protective oil coating wiped
on at the factory.
2. Rinse with a mixture of ¼ cup vinegar to one-quart water.
3. Spread unsalted shortening or liquid frying compound evenly over the entire griddle surface.
4. Turn all griddle burners to medium or thermostats to 350 degrees and wait until the shortening begins
to smoke, and then turn the burners off.
5. Rub the now melted shortening into the griddle surface with a cloth covering the entire surface.
6. Let the griddle cool, and then repeat steps 3, 4, & 5.
7. When the griddle is cool after the second seasoning, wipe it once again with a thin film of shortening
or cooking oil.
OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
Open Tops
Open top burners are quickly lighted and require no preheating time. Light only as many burners as needed.
Broiler
Allow the grates to thoroughly heat before using. During slow periods heat only the portion required.
Griddle
Heat the griddle thoroughly before using. During slow periods the top can be kept warm with the burners
turned partially down, or heat only the portion of the griddle required.
