CLEANING GRIDDLE PLATE AT START-UP
The griddle plate is shipped covered with a protective coating of grease. Remove this film when the griddle plate is being cleaned
prior to its first cooking use. Remove film by scraping the griddle surface with the straight edge of a large piece of stiff cardboard.
For cleaning procedures, see "Cleaning Griddle Top" in this manual.
WARNING
!
Be careful when operating, cleaning or servicing the range. The range parts are hot.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT overheat the griddle. Set thermostats to recommended temperatures. Leaving griddle plates above recommended
temperatures may cause warpage, and carbonized grease may cause sticking.
CAUTION
!
This griddle plate is steel, but the surface can be scratched or dented by a spatula. Be careful not to dent or scratch the plate
surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner edge of the spatula on the griddle
surface. This will damage the griddle surface.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Seasoning of Cast Iron, Hot Tops and French Tops
A new griddle surface must be seasoned in order to perform well. The metal surface of the griddle is porous. Food tends to get
trapped in these pores and stick, therefore, it is important to "season" or "fill up" these pores before cooking.
To season, heat the griddle to a low temperature 200-250ºF (93-121ºC) (use a surface temperature gauge) and pour a small amount
of cooking oil about 1oz./sq. ft. or 28gms/.1m
2
of surface onto a cloth. Spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin
film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat this procedure three times until the griddle has a slick surface.
LOADING AND UNLOADING ThE OvEN
Open the door and load as quickly as practical to conserve heat. Take care to avoid spilling liquids while loading. Close the door
and refer to recipe for cooking time. Provide adequate space for product unloading. Rapid unloading will conserve heat and ensure
proper preheating conditions for the next load, if applicable.
