BEFORE FIRST USE
Griddle Seasoning (
optional models
)
CAUTION: This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored
or dented by the careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or
gouge 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.
A new griddle surface must be seasoned to do a good cooking job. 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 with cooking oil before cooking. Seasoning
gives the surface a slick, hard finish from which the food will release easily.
To season, heat griddle top section at a low burner setting. Pour one ounce of cooking oil
per square foot of surface over the griddle top section. With an insulated cloth, spread the
oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with an
insulated cloth.
Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick surface.
LIGHTING AND SHUTTING DOWN PILOTS
All adjustment procedures associated with pilot lighting must be performed by an
authorized vender installation or service person.
