INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Test the Equipment
Check for Gas Leaks
NOTICE: Matches, candle flame, or any other potential source of
ignition shall not be used for this purpose.
1. Rotate the gas control knob for the main burner(s) to the OFF
position.
2. Connect the equipment to the gas supply.
3. Apply soapy water to each connection.
4. Turn ON the main supply valve.
5. Look for bubbles at the connections.
6. Adjust the connections as needed.
Light the Pilot Burners
NOTICE: To light the pilot burner, you will need a flame source with
an extension which is at least 8" (20.3 cm) long. Hold the
flame source through the opening in the front panel near
the red button for the pilot light you are lighting.
1. Turn OFF the main gas valve to griddle.
2. Turn OFF all of the burner control valves.
3. Wait 5 minutes to allow any gas to dissipate.
4. Turn ON the main gas valve.
5. For each main burner and pilot burner, confirm that thermocouple
(currently at room temperature) is preventing the flow of gas. If the
thermocouple is defective, replace it before proceeding to Step 6.
6. Light the pilot burner while pressing the red button on the flame
failure protection device. Hold the button for at least 10 seconds to
allow the pilot flame to engage the thermocouple.
Test the Main Burners
After lighting all of the pilot burners, ensure that each main burner
functions correctly.
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
BEFORE FIRST USE
Burn In the Equipment
1. Rotate the gas control knob(s) to the maximum setting.
2. Allow griddle to heat and burn-in for approximately 30-minutes.
NOTICE: You may notice smoking during this initial burn-in;
this is normal.
Season the Griddle Surface
1. While the griddle is warm, rub cooking oil, shortening, beef suet, or
the like on the griddle surface with a clean cloth.
2. Heat the griddle to medium high and allow it to operate for
approximately 30 minutes.
3. Rotate the gas control knob(s) to low and allow the surface to cool.
4. Remove any excess oil and wipe clean.
5. Repeat the process; oil, heat for 30 minutes, cool, and wipe clean.
OPERATION
1. Verify that the drip tray is in place.
2. Lightly oil and wipe the surface clean to remove any contaminants
that may have accumulated or have seeped from the surface and/or
perimeter since last use and to ensure a clean non-stick cooking
surface.
3. Ignite the main burner(s) by rotating the gas control knob(s). Adjust
to the desired heat level.
4. Preheat the griddle for 15 minutes.
5. Cook the food.
6. Empty the drip tray periodically to ensure that it does not overflow.
7. Do not allow oil or grease to build up on the griddle. Doing so can
lead to carbon build-up, which can adversely affect the performance
of the griddle.
8. Allow the griddle to cool at the end of each cooking cycle.
