OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(For
Mechanical
Bakers)
For electronic baker operating instructions, see Digital Baker section.
General Operating Instructions
1.
Always use fresh batter and do not allow it to warm up too much.
2.
During operation, frequent cleaning with a soft-bristled brush and re-seasoning the grids as
needed, will ensure a great tasting product.
3.
Leave the grids in the closed position whenever possible (open grids cause excessive
carbon build-up).
4.
If the baker is not being going to be used within 20-30 minutes, turn the unit off.
5.
DO NOT
apply beeswax, paraffin, or any other waxes to grid surfaces.
Pre-heating the Unit
1.
Flip the Power Switch to the ON Position. (The Red Light will turn ON and stay on while the
machine is in operation.)
2.
The Green Light will turn ON indicating the machine is heating. When the Green Light goes
OFF, the unit has reached the correct temperature and you can begin baking.
Note:
The Green Indicator Light will continue to cycle OFF/ON during the baking operation.
Grid Seasoning
COATED (Non-Stick) Grids:
After the initial seasoning of a new unit, coated grids do not need to be
seasoned regularly. Depending on usage, or if coated grids have been scoured in the cleaning
process, a very light spray of Seas'n-Kleen may be needed prior to the next use. Follow the steps
below to initially season new grids.
DO NOT
use metallic utensils on coated grids.
NON-COATED Grids:
Prior to first use of a new baker, non-coated grids must be seasoned for at least 1½
to 2 hours for proper operation. Spray grids with Seas'n-Kleen; close the baker and wait 20 to 30
minutes. Open the baker; notice the grids are starting to turn dark. Repeat this process 3 to 4
times until fully seasoned. No silver will be visible on fully seasoned grids.
To Season Baker Grids:
Follow the steps below to season baker grids prior to start-up for the day (and for
the initial seasoning of coated grids):
1.
Flip the Power Switch to the ON position and allow the baker to pre-heat.
2.
Open grids and lightly spray Seas'n-Kleen (Gold Medal Item No. 5524CN) on the grid surfaces.
3.
Close the baker, set timer to 3 minutes, and allow the grids to season through one cook cycle
without product. (Always turn the Timer Knob past 3, then set the desired cooking time.)
4.
If sticking occurs during baker operation, lightly re-spray Seas'n-Kleen on the grid surfaces.
