— Activates water flow from built in unit faucet.  Single press will activate a continuous 

flow of water, press again to end.  Continuous press will activate a flow of  water that ends when the

tank surface temperature is above 260°F. 

 
 
 
BEFORE FIRST USE 

 

Remove all protective paper from the unit before turning on.  Paper is left in place to protect the finish and 
help prevent scratches during shipping and placement of the unit.  Failure to remove the paper before 
heating can result in permanent marking of the finish and/or the inability to fully remove the paper. 
 
Clean all cooking surfaces thoroughly with water and a non-chlorinated soap.  Rinse to remove all soap 
residue. 
 

  

The tank surface is stainless steel.  Chlorinated cleaners can corrode this surface, 

as can prolonged exposure to salt.  Do not use chlorinated cleaners on the unit and always 
clean the tank thoroughly to remove salt residue after use.

Unit comes equipped with a drain plug and a drain pipe for emptying of the tank.  Ensure that both are in 
place before attempting to use the unit.  Failure to do so may result in effluent flooding the interior of the 
unit.  In the event that this occurs, turn the unit off and disconnect from power source.  Clean the interior 
of the unit thoroughly and ensure that no standing liquid remains before reconnecting and resuming 
operation. 
 
Tank surface is stainless steel and does not require seasoning prior to use, although it is recommended 
to apply a thin coat of oil or other non-stick spray whenever using the unit in Griddle mode. 
 
To begin use, ensure that drain plug and drain pipe are in place and that an adequate catch basin is in 
place for effluent.  This can be the optional Drain Caddy, a standard hotel pan of ½ or ⅔ size, or a 
dedicated floor drain.  Ensure that unit door is closed securely and that water supply is turned on and 
purged of air.
